"I’ve used them ever since. I’ve been using them for two years now. They come out every two weeks. Sometimes they are busy on Mondays. I don’t have a weekend schedule because sometimes their weekend is so full. Everybody wants to have their lawn done on Fridays. So, Mondays are fine. They are always prompt. They’ve never missed a mow. They’re polite. When I do see them, they would say “Hi.” They are really quick. He’s in and out here for like 15 minutes. I wouldn’t say I have an expensive yard."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’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.

All herbicides come with risks, but you can control and mitigate risks by discussing your options with your weed service company before application. Some companies use milder or sustainable herbicides more times per season to control weeds rather than one to two herbicide sprayings annually. You can also ask your professional about pet-friendly and kid-friendly services. In most cases, though, you can wait a few days after the application for the herbicides to soak into the ground, at that point they shouldn’t pose a risk to you or your family.

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.

It’s not legal to intentionally damage a neighbor’s tree. Even if the roots of a tree encroach into your yard, if you damage or kill a tree that belongs to your neighbor, you can be held liable for the damage in most cases. Since herbicides can spread through the tree, causing damage to the whole tree and not just the roots that are on your side of the property line, you shouldn’t poison your neighbor’s tree. The other downside to this method is that if the tree dies, it can fall onto your property and cause more damage, so herbicides are best avoided in this circumstance.

There are a few things you should ask a weed service company before hiring to ensure you’re choosing the best professional for the job:

  • How often will you apply herbicides?

  • Do you include any spot treatments or manual weed removal in your pricing?

  • Do you offer pet-safe and kid-safe herbicides?

  • What other lawn services can you provide?

  • Do you offer any kind of guarantee for the work performed?

  • Are you properly licensed and fully insured?

  • Do you have any customer references I could speak with?
