Angry Neighbors Can Be Caused by Inconsistent Weed Growth From Your Lawn

In a landscape that could otherwise be beautiful, weeds can become more than just an eyesore. There are many neighborhoods and communities that could be perfect, but one house sticks out. Your lawn should not be considered less than perfect. How can you eliminate unwanted weeds?


Weeds can attract pests


They can detract the beauty of your landscape and attract pests such as:

  • Mice and rats find weeds the ideal nesting place.
  • Gnats
  • Flies
  • Raccoons
  • Fleas


Your weeds may be attractive to a variety of insects, animals, and pests, depending on what kind of weed they are. It doesn’t just affect you; it can also affect your neighbors if the pests and bugs migrate to their property. We can help you prevent weeds from growing and get rid of any that are already there.


Rule of Landscaping by Home Owners Associations (HOA).


HOA rules can vary depending on where you live. These may include landscaping and the type of grass used, weeds, and other factors. Some HOA rules state that overgrown weeds can pose a fire hazard. Many HOAs require that all homes within a neighborhood be kept neat and free from weeds. HOAs are designed to preserve the neighborhood’s value and provide a beautiful environment for residents to enjoy.


How to Prevent Weeds?


There are many ways to stop weed growth. You can apply herbicides before they emerge or use corn gluten meal to stop seeds from germinating. You can also block sunlight from causing weed growth. You can block sunlight with grass clippings or newspapers that have been layered with mulch or just mulch.


You can pull up the roots of weeds that have grown up on your lawn and flower beds despite your best efforts. If you don’t want to use harsh chemicals, this is an excellent solution.


It can be frustrating to find unwanted weeds everywhere. If you have weed problems, chances are they also pose a problem to your neighbors. Nobody wants an angry neighbor.
