"I have never seen people work so hard and so quickly in my life! I had a great deal of brush and weeds overtaking my yard. I expected they would cut/mow them down to soil level and spread grass seed over it. Oh no, not these guys. They dug the brush and vines completely out by the roots, by hand. When the pile of waste was too much for their truck, they came back the next day. The pile was completely gone and they used a leaf blower for the leaves and soil. I was VERY impressed. I will definitely be using them again."

At the tender age of 14, my parents decided to call-it-quits, my mom decided to move from the city to the country. It was this move that my fascination with lawn care, ensued. Having to be totally responsible for the upkeep of a(n) acre worth of land. Ever since then, I actually enjoy turning an undesirable parcel, into that which is desirable!

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.

If possible, you should prioritize pulling weeds up by hand. However, be sure not to use your bare hands, as many weeds are sharp or otherwise irritating when they come in contact with skin. Always don thick, protective gardening gloves to protect your hands when you pull up weeds.

A spot herbicide for weed control is effective at killing crabgrass and not grass, but it depends on the type of herbicide. Always check the label to ensure that your herbicide is safe for grass but tough on crabgrass. Overall, spot treatment is ideal because it puts fewer herbicides into the soil, which can damage the soil. If you’re wanting a natural remedy to crabgrass that also won’t harm surrounding grass, you can also hand-remove crabgrass or even pour boiling water or 5% vinegar over crabgrass as a spot treatment.

There are many options to eradicate weeds right down to the roots. Vinegar works, but it takes a week or so to do its thing, and the same goes for many commercially available herbicides. Boiled water is a quick way to kill off roots, or you can pull up weeds at the root.

It’s best to pull weeds when the soil is wet, as it’s much easier. Wet soil is much softer than dry soil, making it easier to pull the entire weed up by the root. Also, since the soil is wet, the roots will let go of the soil and slide up with less resistance. Be careful when working on your wet garden, though, as wet soil is easier to compact, which can harm your plants.
