Lawn Weed Control in Austin, TX
Grassy weeds, broadleaf weeds, and sedges in Austin lawns, rock beds, and xeriscape. Pre-emergent stops them from sprouting; post-emergent takes out what's already up. Most lawns need about 3 visits a year, with no contract. Call or text 512-203-0525.

How our weed control works
Pre-emergent stops seeds from sprouting. Post-emergent kills weeds that are already up. Our PPF treatment does both and adds fertilizer in one visit, so most lawns need only about 3 visits a year.
The yearly schedule
A full treatment in late February or early March, a spot treatment and fertilizer in early summer, and another full treatment in late September or early October. Nothing in July and August.
