Wondering if you need weed control service? Let’s take a closer look.

What is the definition of a weed? The dictionary describes a weed as:

1. a valueless plant growing wild, especially one that grows on cultivated ground to the exclusion or injury of the desired crop.

2. any undesirable or troublesome plant, especially one that grows profusely where it is not wanted.

Weeds can cause frustration for many homeowners simple because they take away from the curb appeal of your home. As spring time approaches, weeds will become even more of an issue based on all the rain we have seen last fall and this spring in Austin and the surrounding areas.

A weed control service company may be just what the doctor ordered. Weeds can be difficult to control and you must have a basic understanding of plants in general. Is it an annual or a perennial? What is the weed’s life cycle? Can I use a pre-emergent on this type of weed? It’s enough to make your head spin and this is why most home owners turn to licensed professionals to help. If you do try doing this on your own, be sure to read and follow all the label directions.
