Keeping your landscaping beds free of weeds is a challenge that takes a lot of time and energy. Allowing weeds to grow in the landscape beds often means there are weeds in the lawn near beds.
Controlling weeds is both about today and the future. If you let weeds grow to maturity, weed seeds will drop off and be a problem in the future.
We often visit lawns of customers and see their landscape beds filled with weeds. It is common for them to ask why they have so many weeds in the lawn. Lawn Doctor does not spray in landscaping beds for weeds as we could damage valuable shrubs and other plants. It is important to keep landscape beds free from weeds to help your grass. Weeds in beds drop seeds and grow through rhizomes and stolons that creep in to the yard.
Edging regularly cuts the stolons and rhizomes and is a great practice to help aesthetically and in controlling bed weeds.
Lanscaping shrubs, trees and plants can be expensive and we are careful when we fertilizer and spray weed control around beds. Landscape beds that have weeds usually result in more weeds on your lawn.
