Get matched with top weed maintenance pros in New Franklin, MO

Q: Is it better to pull weeds or spray them?

• <div><p>Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what&rsquo;s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn&rsquo;t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.</p></div>

Q: Will jet washing get rid of weeds?

• <div><p>Jet washing can wash away weeds without bending or kneeling to pull them. However, the results will likely be fleeting because the weeds will return unless you use a stronger method that takes them out at the root. Use a jet washer for short-term weed removal, but use a stronger method if you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-permanently-get-rid-weeds-driveway.htm">get rid of weeds for good</a>. </p></div>

Q: How do I prevent weeds from coming up through the joints?

• <div><p>The best way to prevent weeds is to use polymeric sand, which hardens and blocks weed growth when activated with water. If you're using regular sand, you'll need to refill and compact it more often. Keeping the surface clean and free of debris can also help prevent weed seeds from settling in the joints.</p></div>

Q: Will vinegar kill weeds and not grass?

• <div><p>Vinegar cannot tell the difference between weeds and desired grass types; it kills everything it touches. Only use a vinegar or vinegar-based solution if you are relatively confident that you can navigate around the plants and grasses you want to keep. Also, don&rsquo;t spray vinegar on a windy day, or it will blow onto other plants. </p></div>

Q: What should I put under the deck to prevent weeds?

• <div><p>Landscape fabric and a few inches of gravel should be enough to put under a deck to prevent weeds from flourishing. If you don&rsquo;t want to invest the time and money on a project like this, you can regularly spray the area underneath your deck to kill weeds.</p></div>

"Outstanding! Not only were they here the day following my request for a quote, but they also were able to do the job within a week of my go-ahead. I then changed me mind about stump removal the day after they took down the tree and they came back that same day and completed my other request.
