This allows them to apply a pre-emergent weed killer that stops weeds from taking root, making maintenance for the rest of the season much easier.

These regular treatments, combined with manual removal or spot treatment, should be sufficient to maintain a weed-free yard. Alternatively, you can hire a professional in the fall for the following year, as some companies may offer better rates on contracts signed before the busy spring season.
