Effective Tips for Weed Control in Flower Beds

Despite your best efforts to prevent weeds in flower beds, some unwanted plants are still bound to appear. Your best bet for defeating weeds is to attack them while they’re small. Young weeds have shallow roots that can often simply be pinched out of the soil. When weeds grow too large to pull out by hand, use a garden knife or hand weeder with a long, slender body to ensure you only cut the weed’s roots, not those of your beloved flowers. Also, be aware that weeds are easier to remove shortly after it rains when the soil is still moist and soft.

    The team from Grounds Guys did an amazing job. They were courteous and cleaned up everything after they finished. They even came back the nex morning to seed around the posts and any area that the lawn got damaged. I will definitely recommend and use them for any future projects.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    Great service from The Grounds Guys Barrie. The crew was at our home for four days cleaning beds, edging, moving perennials, reshaping our gardens and finally laying a ton of mulch. Jaclyn and Hailey did most of the work the first couple of days with great care and attention to detail, they worked so diligently to get everything completed to our liking. Very pleasant and knowledgeable, I loved their energy!! The rest of the crew came in the last couple of days for the remainder of cleaning and mulching, I can’t say enough about how pleasant and hard working everyone was. Thank you, you have been the best gardeners we have hired and I am very happy with the end results.
