Tyler did a great job of weeding and mulching my front flower beds and re-seated some of my edging which had pushed out of the ground. Two of my neighbors noticed his work and asked for estimates also. I would be happy to recommend him.

Ensures effective treatment using targeted techniques to maintain healthy gardens.

Very carefully. You should be cautious when using any of the above methods, as any one of them could lead to you accidentally killing desired grasses and plants. However, there are selective herbicides that can target certain plants over others. Look for a product that only affects the type of weeds you want to eliminate and spares the plants you want to keep.
