Q: Can weeds grow through pea gravel?

• <div><p>Yes, weeds will grow through pea gravel but you can prevent this during the installation process. Install a weed barrier underneath pea gravel and swap it out every three years to keep weeds at bay.</p></div>

Q: How do you control noxious weeds?

• <div><p>Each type of weed comes with its own control methods, but stopping the seed spread is the first step. Grazing, mowing, and hand pulling can slow the invasion. In some cases, selective herbicide is necessary to stop a persistent weed from overtaking an area.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of poison oak vines on trees?

• <div><p>Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture.

Q: How often should you use root killer?

• <div><p>If you have a lot of tree roots in your yard or have experienced issues in the past, you should use tree root killer <b>every six months</b> to prevent roots from infiltrating your pipes. If you have an active invasion and aren&rsquo;t seeing results, check the instructions on the bottle to see how often you can use it in a short period of mine.</p></div>

Q: What kills weeds down to the root?
