Ok, with fall upon us and winter not far behind, most of us are just grateful at getting through the spring and summer weed season. So you are not probably thinking about weeds right now.
But really, getting rid of spring weeds starts right now! Fall and winter, before most weeds begin is the best time to solve your weed problem.
If you wait until spring, winter rains will give the weeds a head start. Once they are above the soil, they have to be killed AND removed. No easy task in planted or gravel areas. Because we are licensed by the state to spray, we have access to the best professional quality products to do the job and the training and experience to do the job correctly the first time.
Most people don’t know that weeds can be prevented before they pop up! We also can apply professional-strength weed preventers ( called pre-emergents) to your problem areas and keep those weeds from ever showing up at all. Be prepared this year. It will be less hassle and cost.
Hey, Its soooo nice out. I’m enjoying the sun. It’s been so wet lately. We had 5 inches of rain in just 5 days last week here in Phelan. I KNOW that all that rain here in the high desert is going to stimulate all the weed seeds lurking under the soil just waiting for the opportunity to pop up and ruin your weekends this spring. It’ll be really nice and warm and all those weeds will be calling your name.
Get rid of them before they start. Put down a weed preventer, called pre-emergent. It works amazingly. We put down a lot of it this time of year for our clients. Some of our clients are smart and do it every year, sometimes twice a year before the weeds show up. Others, just wait it out hoping the weeds won’t show and they won’t have to spend the money. Dry years the gamblers sometimes win. Wet years, not so much.
I think Benjamin Franklin said “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” I think this applies here.
