When you get the weeds out, Preen can be your new best friend.

My name is Regina Rodriguez (352) 636-4539 and I am a Realtor with C21 here in the Villages area and I have found the following as the only company that will just do weeding - here is their contact -


Jullie with Rodriguez Landscaping (352) 702-7653



QUOTE=Laker14;2232854]We are away and our beds need weeding.
We are having trouble finding anyone who is willing to come and just weed. Everyone we contact says they only do "full service", meaning they'll trim and weed but not just come over to weed.

Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]

I've had far less weed problems since I switched from rocks and wood chips to simple, cheap pine straw. It's what The Villages uses in their landscaping. Blocks out light, lets moisture through, and doesn't build up soil for the weeds to take root in. Throw on a new layer every year.

Default Found Someone to do Weeding

Found someone to do weeding. Four of them came out as scheduled, cleaned up the entire front and side yard beds in less than an hour and agreed to come monthly from now on. First visit was a little steep price wise but I had two+ months of weed growth so I was willing to pay more the first time. Monthly will be reasonable in my opinion. Rosalie Landscaping, LLC 352-530-0094. Give them a try.

I was going to take this job, but you just talked me out of it.
