Why Weed Control?

Our goal is to enhance and maintain the beautiful environment in which we live and we believe weed control is an important contributor to a beautiful landscape.

​

Weeds come to steal, kill, and destroy the beautiful landscape you want to protect. Spraying for weeds consistently for 3-5 years is the most effective way to get rid of existing seeds, new seeds, and mature weeds.

​

Timeline

​

For the most effective weed abatement, pre-emergent should be sprayed between April - June. 

​

Noxious weeds should be sprayed in late July or August when they are fully mature to be affective. Please see our resources page for more info!

​

We take authorization forms and inquiries throughout the whole year, so feel free to fill out the authorization form below!
