We bought our house in March 2019. Didn't move in to it til November. Visited a few times between the two dates. Previous homeowner had a service, we continued it while we weren't actually living there. They did their weedkilling thing, and I am sure they were sincere in their claim that they did it.
But it didn't mean a thing. When I brought some furniture down in mid-April, the weeds had overgrown the garden and the front area by the house and around the side of it. It took me three days - in late May - to get them all out.
Came back in late June/early July with another load of furniture and it was just as bad. When we finally moved in, in November, I told the service to continue with the pesticide and weed treatment on the lawn only, and don't waste the chemicals on our garden. I pull them myself now. It's a never-ending battle but I'm not going to pay for chemicals that pollute the ground if they're not even going to do what they're supposed to do.
