Weed Removal

Unfortunately for gardeners, weeds are actually very successful plants. They adapt to the most inhospitable growing conditions and tend to be practically indestructible. Tough and tenacious they survive drought, grow fast, and sometimes seem to return from the dead! Weeds can be unwanted grasses or vines that grow through your flowers and vegetables, or they might simply be a few dandelions sprouting up between your bricks on the front walkway.

The main problem with weeds is that they tend to take over your yard. They will quickly outcompete desirable plants for water, sunlight, and nutrients. If left unchecked, they will take over and overwhelm your precious flowers or vegetables. Weeds can also harbor harmful insects and diseases that can infect your other plants.

Removing weeds before they have a chance to take over is the best way to maintain a healthy garden. And luckily, there are many different weed removal tools available to make the job easier!
