If you purchase one of dual deals including " weeding " be sure to watch the workers. Oft times they are the lowest guys on the totem pole and take short cuts. We had this service one time from one of the bigger companies and they thought nothing about thoroughly spraying weeds sprouting directly adjacent to expensive palms, ornamentals and succulents. Could not figure out why some of the good stuff was dying back and looking sickly until we saw them in the act. Got tired of dealing with the hassle of reporting it to a supervisor only to have new guys show up the next time around and start all over again. Now we just keep a really big container of Round Up in the garage a spray the little monsters a couple of time a month. If you buy a service because you are a " snowbird " be prepared to be disappointed. If you are not, you made a good choice.
