Why Is It Bad To Have Weeds?

You might wonder why investing in a weed control service is necessary. They’re unsightly, but can they be that harmful to your lawn or garden? Unfortunately, weeds can quickly damage your flowers, grass, and other plants.

Here are some of the ways weeds can be harmful to your garden or lawn:

• Nutrient competition: Weeds compete with your desired plants for essential nutrients in the soil.
• Water resource drainage: These unwanted plants can absorb water meant for crops and grass, leaving your garden parched and stressed.
• Pest attraction: Certain weeds can attract pests, which may further harm your plants by providing hiding spots and breeding grounds.
• Disease spread: Weeds can harbor diseases that could infect your plants.

What Happens if You Use Too Much Weed Killer?

Using too much weed killer can harm your lawn and garden more than the weeds themselves. Over-application can lead to chemical buildup in the soil, damaging your desirable plants and disrupting beneficial microorganisms. You might notice brown or dead patches where the herbicide has affected the grass or other plants.

Excessive weed killers can also contaminate water supplies and affect local wildlife. Our professionals can accurately assess the amount and type of weed killer needed and apply it safely and effectively.

Why Do Weeds Keep Coming Back After Pulling?

Weeds return after pulling because many have deep root systems or can reproduce through seeds, fragments, or rhizomes. When you simply pull them out, you often leave behind parts of the root that can regenerate quickly.

Moreover, weed seeds can lay dormant in the soil for years, waiting for the right conditions to sprout. That's why hiring a professional weed control service is essential. With our proper methods and products, we can eliminate weeds from the root, preventing them from reappearing in the future.
