Weed control questions, answered plainly.
Short answers about the six-visit plan, how pre-emergent works on gravel, and how to get your yearly price.
Questions we hear a lot
How many visits are in the plan?
Six a year, every other month. Month 1 and month 7 are pre-emergent plus post-emergent. Months 3, 5, 9 and 11 are post-emergent.
What is pre-emergent?
Pre-emergent stops weed seeds from germinating, which means taking root. It does not kill weeds already growing.
What is post-emergent?
Post-emergent is a spray that knocks out weeds that push through.
How long does the pre-emergent last?
The product and rate Guardian Landscape uses gives about 8 months of residual. That is how long it stays active, waiting for moisture to carry it into the soil.
Does the plan work on gravel yards?
Yes. Gravel and rock yards are the core of what we treat. Liquid pre-emergent sits on the rocks until rain or snow washes it into the soil.
Why not just spot treat?
Spot treating alone misses seeds. Seeds arrive by wind and animals and stay viable a long time, so we treat the whole yard, with extra attention where weeds always show up, like along driveways.
Why six visits instead of two?
We started with two pre-emergent visits a year, and first-time clients still had weeds. Adding four post-emergent visits dropped weeds a lot, and more clients stayed with us.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $750 a year for all six visits. Bigger yards and steeper terrain cost more. Tell us your size and Guardian Landscape calls or texts you with your exact yearly price.
