If you have any trees on your property, here are some reasons why you should use weed control services.

To ensure that your trees' health isn't affected by the presence of nearby weeds

One of the best reasons to use weed control services is that it could prevent the weeds in your garden from negatively affecting your trees' health. Weeds that grow beside your trees have the potential to cause lots of problems. They can, for example, compete with the trees for the nutrients and water in the soil and result in the trees developing nutrient deficiencies or becoming dehydrated. This may lead to the trees becoming more disease-prone and their leaves becoming brown and crispy, due to the lack of water. Additionally, weeds can serve as hiding places for pests, such as aphids and weevils, that might damage your trees.

As such, when your arborist calls around to trim your trees or do any other work to them, you should ask to use their weed control service, too. They might use things like applying special fabrics to the base of the trees, to make it hard for weeds to sprout and grow upward and might manually remove the weeds that have already grown around the trees.

 It's best to let them manage the removal of weeds or the prevention of weed growth, as there is a chance that if you do it yourself, you could inadvertently damage your trees. For example, if you use weed killer on the weeds that are growing on top of your trees' roots, this product might sink into the ground and harm these roots.

To maintain the beauty of your garden

The other reason why you should use weed control services is that doing this will keep your garden looking beautiful. Trees can greatly enhance any outdoor space's appearance; however, this is only true if they're healthy and if they're not surrounded by weeds.

If for example, there are gnarled, ugly weeds growing all over the base of a tree, that tree may not only start to look unhealthy as a result of nutrient depletion but its overall appearance will be less attractive and it may even become a bit of an eyesore. As such, if your main motivation for having trees in your garden is to make this outdoor space more beautiful, then you should ensure that your arborist regularly removes and prevents the regrowth of weeds around these trees.
