Default Spraying of flower beds

Can anyone recommend a company that sprays flower beds and bushes for weeds and pests? Massey and Deans don't spray the beds.

I don't think that routine spraying will control weeds. That's probably why they don't do it.

Weeding-it is work, results, frankly not financially rewarding. If, they remove all of them, tomorrow there will be more. Chemical weed killers there are pre-emergent ones Preen is a brand name there are others. They are not 100% effective, they kill weed seeds. Our grass spreads by runners and it will not control that. Other products that will kill growing weeds will also kill your bushes, flowers etc.

Best plan. Hate your weeds and cuss em as you pull them out. Mulch helps. My opinion,
that landscape fabric, while it does work the weeds will find a way. The fabric prevents you using tools such as a hoe, maddock etc. Long handled tools make it easier on your/my old back. Cussing, you will find you are dividing your efforts between cussing the weeds and cussing the landscape fabric.
