Before the weed removal pro arrives, have your yard’s total square footage ready and note any accessibility issues like steep slopes or rocky areas. Inform them if you know the types of weeds present, as this affects treatment. Mention any preferences for eco-friendly or pet-safe herbicides. Lastly, discuss scheduling that fits your routine and ask for an estimate and timeline.

Manually pulling weeds offers immediate, chemical-free results and targets specific weeds without affecting other plants. It's ideal if you prefer eco-friendly methods and have concerns about children or pets. Herbicide sprays tackle large infestations and deep-rooted weeds more efficiently but involve chemicals. Choosing between them depends on your lawn’s needs and your preferences.

After applying herbicide, most weeds begin to show signs of wilting or discoloration within a few days to a week. Complete weed death often occurs within two to four weeks, depending on the type of herbicide used and the weed species. This timeline allows you to schedule follow-up treatments or lawn maintenance to promote healthy, lasting results.
