Do It Yourself: Weed Control

Before you plant, take time to minimize weeds.

1. Apply a pre-emergent weed and grass control: Last year’s weeds left their seeds in your shrub and flower beds. Apply Preen or ask Giroud to manage your beds for you with a professional grade treatment.
2. Use Organic Alternative: Great for vegetable gardens and organic gardeners, spread newspapers on the bare soil before you mulch. The newspaper keeps weeds down and eventually decomposes to become organic matter.


3. Add Mulch: Spread a thin layer of mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.


4. Control Perennial Weeds: Apply a post-emergent spray like Round-up. Or, ask Giroud to take control as needed with professional grade treatments in your gardens, patios, walks and driveways.

Protect Small Trees from Deer Damage

Small trees are a favorite target for deer. Between August and February, Trees with trunks that are up to 6" in diameter often sustain the worse damage from male deer rubbing their antlers on the trunks. You can protect your trees by installing plastic or wire fencing around the trunks of your small trees. Fencing is available at your local hardware store. Or, ask your Giroud Arborist and we will be happy to install it for you.
