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: What kills weeds in the grass fast?

• <div><p>The quickest way to kill weeds is to burn them, pour boiling water on them, or pull them out by hand. Each of these methods works instantaneously. Beyond that, using <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/vinegar-grass.htm">vinegar for grass</a> works in a couple of hours, as do herbicides you can buy at the store. The slowest way to kill weeds is to starve them of nutrients and sunlight with mulch or fabric covers. </p></div>

Q: Are herbicides for weed control safe?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t pose a risk to you or your family.</p></div>

Q: Does sealing pavers prevent weeds?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-use-paver-sealer.htm">Sealing pavers helps cut down on weed growth</a>, but it won&rsquo;t wipe it out entirely. What it does really well is harden the joint sand&mdash;especially if you&rsquo;re using a sealant with polymer additives&mdash;so weeds have a much harder time breaking through. It also blocks airborne seeds from settling in the cracks and keeps debris from building up. This results in fewer weeds, easier maintenance, and a cleaner-looking surface. Just remember, sealing is a strong defense&mdash;not a one-and-done solution. Stay on top of sweeping, spot-treating, and resealing every few years to keep your weeds in check. </p></div>

Q: How much mulch do you need to prevent weeds?

• <div><p>You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you&rsquo;re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.</p></div>
