Keep your garden beds pristine with professional weeding and maintenance from Greenlawn Inc.
Weeds compete with desirable plants for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Left unchecked, they quickly overrun garden beds, smothering flowers and shrubs while ruining appearance. Regular professional weeding prevents these problems while saving your weekends.
Our 39 years maintaining Howard County gardens has taught us that consistent, thorough weeding is more effective and less expensive than sporadic catch-up efforts. Regular programs keep gardens pristine with minimal effort, allowing you to enjoy beautiful beds without constant battle.

Crabgrass, annual bluegrass, nutsedge. Blend with mulch initially, establishing before becoming obvious. Hand-pull when small.
Dandelions, plantain, clover, chickweed. Develop deep taproots requiring complete removal to prevent regrowth.
Ground ivy, bindweed. Nightmare weeds with extensive root systems. Regular maintenance catches them early.
Maple, oak volunteers. Small seedlings pull easily; established saplings require digging and can damage plants.
For pristine beds, weekly during growing season (April-October). For most residential properties, bi-weekly strikes the best balance—beds look very good with only occasional weeds between visits. Monthly prevents major problems but allows some visibility. Peak season (May-August) requires more frequent attention.
Absolutely—we encourage it! Our programs establish baseline control, and any weeding you do only improves results. Pull correctly: grasp close to soil and pull straight up to remove entire root. Pull when soil is moist for easiest removal.
Proper mulch installation reduces weeding needs by 70-80% but doesn't eliminate it. Mulch prevents seed germination, but perennial weeds, windblown seeds, and grass encroachment still occur. Maintain 2-3 inches depth and refresh annually.
Severely overgrown beds need intensive deep-cleaning first. This service removes all weeds, cuts back overgrown perennials, refreshes mulch, and restores presentable condition. After deep-cleaning, regular maintenance prevents reversion to overgrown states.
Most residential programs range $80-$200 per visit. Monthly costs typically run $160-$600 depending on property size and service level. Pricing factors include:
