weed control company?
 
we are looking for a company that is dependable and will control the weeds via chemical in our rock beds. We are tired of spending the first three or four days pulling weeds when we get here. Our neighbors are very understanding, but it is embarrassing. How quick they grow. I would be grateful for anyone sharing their knowledge of a company that you have had success with treating the rocks.

Are you sure they are still in business? Their website has expired.

Get a copy of the Daily Sun and you will find companies that do just weeding and nothing else.

Fertigator.

It runs thru the sprinkler system..............the magic juice is added to your lawn everytime you run your sprinklers.

We have used them for over 10 years.

If they spray the "rock beds" which is where they are having a problem, with weed killer it will most likely kill or damage any landscape pieces within the beds. The best solution is Preen on the beds early spring and then bi-weekly hand spraying and hand pulling of existing weeds.

Wrong

Over 10 years and we have great plants in our weedless sprayed bedrock.
