THE PROCESS

The Ziehler Lawn Care Approach to Bed Weed Control

Weeds in ground
Step 1
Pre-Emergent Weed Prevention

We apply a pre-emergent treatment to help prevent weed seeds from germinating and reduce future weed growth in your landscape beds.

Step 2
Seasonal Post-Emergent Treatments

We treat existing and actively growing weeds throughout the season. Applications are timed to address weeds as they emerge and grow.

Step 3
Key Broadleaf Weeds Included

Our program targets common landscape bed weeds such as dandelions, clover, henbit, plantain, spurge, chickweed, purslane, oxalis, thistle, and bittercress.

 

Step 4
Difficult Weed Control

We also target difficult-to-control weeds such as wild violet and ground ivy. These weeds can be more persistent and may require repeated treatments for meaningful control.

Step 5
Grassy Weed Control

Our program includes crabgrass prevention and post-emergent control, post-emergent nutsedge control, and treatments for certain perennial grasses, including tall fescue and bluegrass. Some grassy weeds are particularly difficult to control.

Step 6
No-Pull Liquid Application

Our technicians apply liquid treatments directly to targeted weeds in landscape beds. The program focuses on product applications rather than hand-pulling, so weeds are not physically removed by our technicians.

Step 7
Seven Seasonal Applications

Our program includes seven applications per annual cycle, typically scheduled four to six weeks apart to help manage weed growth throughout the season.

What Isn't Included in Bed Weed Control?

Our Bed Weed Control program uses preventative and post-emergent treatments to help manage weeds in landscape beds. The program does not include hand-pulling or physical weed removal.

Some weeds, including poison ivy, wild strawberry, and tree saplings, are not covered by the program. Certain grassy weeds, such as paspalum, annual and rough bluegrass, barnyard grass, Bermuda grass, bentgrass, Johnsongrass, nimblewill, and foxtail, may be treated but can be very difficult to control.

Treatment results can also be affected by weather conditions, such as drought, the condition of your landscape, and maintenance practices, including keeping beds mulched and following proper pruning practices. The program does not include treatment for plant diseases or insects.

  • How often should landscape beds be treated for weeds?
    Text

    Regular treatments help manage weeds as they emerge throughout the growing season. Ziehler's Bed Weed Control program includes seven applications per annual cycle, typically scheduled four to six weeks apart.

  • Can Bed Weed Control prevent weeds before they grow?
    Text

    Yes. Pre-emergent treatments help reduce future weed growth by preventing susceptible weed seeds from germinating. Post-emergent treatments address existing and actively growing weeds. Using both approaches helps manage weeds at different stages of growth.

  • Why do weeds keep coming back in my mulch beds?
    Text

    Weed seeds can enter landscape beds through wind, rain, animals, and surrounding areas. Existing weeds can also regrow, and some species are naturally difficult to control. Regular treatments help manage weed growth.

  • Does Bed Weed Control include hand-pulling weeds?

    No. Our program uses preventative and post-emergent product applications rather than physical weed removal. Treatments are applied to targeted weeds to help manage existing growth and reduce future weed emergence.
