Interlock Paver Weeding
Service details: scraping or weedwhacking interlock, paving slabs, and asphalt
Your options when dealing with weeds in hardscaping
-
weed whack or scrape them out once in a while for maintenance purposes
-
do #1 but follow it up with polymeric sand application
-
apply herbicides
-
remove hardscaping and reinstall it again with base preparation
-
I can do #1 easily. #2 is doable; I will choose the best polymeric sand option that I know and apply it. If there are issues (sand failure or hazing) then, I'll deal with those. #3 is not legal for me to apply, but I can recommend herbicides and how to acquire them for property owners to apply themselves. #4 is not something that I'm too experienced with, but check out my landscaping renovations page for more details.
Garden Bed Weeding
Service Details: weeds are pulled out of garden beds by hand. Root fragments inevitably are left behind during this process.
Creating weedless gardens: You have two options when it comes to reducing weed populations in your garden beds
-
manual removal - do it frequently to get more roots out from perennial plants or at minimum do it before plants go to seed and start making the problem worse
-
adding more plants to your garden - the larger the plants, the more area they cover or shade they create, the more competitive and weed-y they are, the fewer unwanted weeds you'll have
