Building Season-Long Protection

Four applications spaced throughout the growing season create overlapping coverage that prevents weeds continuously. As one application's effectiveness begins to diminish around the 8-10 week mark, the next application reinforces the barrier. This strategic timing ensures no gaps in protection where weeds can establish and spread.

The Value of Professional-Grade Products

The landscape pre-emergents we use are commercial formulations not available to homeowners. These professional products provide longer-lasting prevention, more consistent coverage, and better safety profiles around ornamental plants compared to consumer products. The difference in effectiveness is significant and noticeable in season-long weed control.

Understanding Non-Selective Herbicides

Our spot-spray treatments use non-selective herbicides, meaning they kill any plant they contact through the leaves. This is why precise application by trained technicians is critical. Our landscape crews carefully apply these products directly to weed leaves while avoiding contact with ornamental plants, ensuring effective weed control without plant damage.

Will This Harm The Plants In My Landscape?

No. We take great care to protect your ornamental plants. The liquid herbicide (spot spray) only affects plants it directly contacts through their leaves, and our trained technicians apply it precisely to weeds only. The granular pre-emergent works by preventing seeds from germinating—it does not harm established plants, trees, shrubs, or perennials with existing root systems.

I Don't Have Many Weeds. Do I Need This Service?

If your goal is to maintain weed-free landscape beds, then yes. The pre-emergent is preventative—it stops weeds before they appear. Not seeing weeds means the program is working correctly. Once you stop treatments, weed seeds will germinate and you'll be back to manual weeding or dealing with weed problems.

What If I Get Weeds Between Applications?

Breakthrough weeds can occasionally occur, especially during the first season of service as we establish control. If you notice weeds between scheduled applications, contact us. We include one complimentary mid-cycle visit during your first program year to address any breakthrough weeds. After the first year, additional spot treatments can be scheduled as needed.

How Long Until I See Results?

Spot-sprayed weeds will begin showing signs of dying within 24-48 hours and should be fully dead within 7-10 days. The pre-emergent works invisibly—you won't "see" results, but you'll notice the absence of new weeds for the following 8-10 weeks.

Is This Safe For Pets And Children?

Yes, when used as directed. We recommend keeping pets and children off treated areas until the spray has dried (typically 1-2 hours) and until after the area has been watered. The granular pre-emergent is safe once watered in. All products are EPA-registered and used according to label guidelines.

What If I Can't Water Within 72 Hours?

The pre-emergent must be activated by water to be effective. If you cannot water within the 72-hour window, water as soon as possible. The product will not breakdown for 20 days. You will not see effectiveness until it is watered in.

Can I Use This Service If I Only Have Drip Irrigation?

Subsurface drip irrigation alone is not sufficient to activate the pre-emergent. You would need to supplement with overhead watering (hose or sprinkler) or wait for adequate rainfall. We're happy to discuss your specific irrigation setup to determine if this service is right for you.
