Benefits of Our Xeriscape Weed Control Services

Xeriscapes are ideal for those who are looking for low-maintenance, low-water outdoor spaces. However, they can still be prone to weeds. Through our xeriscape weed control solutions, you can expect the following:

How Xeriscape Weed Control Works

Weed-free xeriscapes need year-round care. Here’s how our team ensures your outdoor spaces are primed for optimal growth. 
  • Step 1: Assess Your Xeriscape for Weeds
  • Step 2: Remove Existing Weeds
  • Step 3: Personalized Weed Care
  • Step 4: Monitoring and Spot Treatments

Step 1

Assess Your Xeriscape for Weeds

One of our expert lawn care technicians will assess your xeriscape for existing weeds or areas vulnerable to weed growth. This can be open spaces, areas with exposed soil, or areas with spaces between rock or mulch. 

Step 2

Remove Existing Weeds

We manually remove weeds from the roots to prevent regrowth. For larger infestations, we use spot treatments with eco-friendly herbicides.

Step 3

Personalized Weed Care 

Depending on your xeriscape, we use a combination of practices to prevent weed growth. This can include preventative herbicides, mulch or gravel layers, and weed barriers. These are applied strategically throughout the year. 

Step 4

Monitoring and Spot Treatments

We periodically inspect your xeriscapes for new weeds and address any weed growth immediately to prevent seeds from spreading. 

Customized Solutions to Keep Your Xeriscape Beautiful

From pre-emergent treatments to targeted spot control, our services protect your xeriscape against weeds, while maintaining the health of your outdoor environment and boosting its appearance.

Early Spring

As temperatures warm up, applying pre-emergent herbicides can prevent weed seeds from germinating. Regular inspections help catch any winter weeds that have started growing, keeping your xeriscape clean and ready for the growing season.

Spring

Spring is when more weeds begin to sprout, requiring spot treatments or manual removal for visible growth. Proper maintenance during this time sets the stage for a weed-free xeriscape throughout the warmer months.

Early Summer

In early summer, monitor for invasive weeds that thrive in warm weather and remove them promptly. In addition to our weed control service, consider adding mulch or refreshing gravel layers to suppress weed growth while preserving soil moisture for your xeriscape plants.

Summer

During the height of summer, focus on targeted weed control as heat-tolerant weeds emerge. Xeriscape weed control services include spot treatments as needed.

Fall

Fall is an excellent time to apply pre-emergent herbicides for winter annual weeds. This proactive step, combined with cleaning up plant debris, ensures a clean and low-maintenance xeriscape heading into winter.

Winter

Winter is a time for minimal weed growth, but occasional inspections can catch hardy or dormant weeds.

FAQS

Question: Why do xeriscapes still require weed control?
Answer: While xeriscapes are low maintenance compared to traditional lawns, they are not completely weed-free. Wind-dispersed seeds and dormant weeds can still take root in open areas. Professional lawn care minimizes the risk of weed growth through preventative and ongoing measures.  
Question: How do you prevent weeds in xeriscapes?
Answer: Emerald Lawns uses a combination of methods tailored to your lawn or landscape. This can include installing weed barriers, applying pre-emergent herbicides, and adding thick layers of mulch or gravel. These practices block weed growth and ensure long-term protection.
Question: How often do I need weed control services for my xeriscape?
Answer: Your frequency can depend on your xeriscape’s design and local conditions. Comprehensive weed control is a year-round task requiring six visits. For a more accurate timeline, we recommend scheduling an in-person evaluation.  
Question: Are your weed control products safe for the environment?
Answer: Yes, our weed control treatments are eco-friendly and sustainable solutions. Following application, your outdoor spaces should be safe for your pets, plants, and the surrounding environment. 
Question: What are the most common weeds found in xeriscapes?
Answer: Common xeriscape weeds include dandelions, crabgrass, thistles, and other wind-dispersed or hardy species that thrive in open spaces. Regular weed control treatment and maintenance can effectively control weed growth and preserve your landscape’s beauty.
