Top tips
Hiring a gardener, without the regret.
Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.
Leaving the Roots
Many UK weeds, like Dandelions or Bindweed, can regrow from a tiny fragment of root left in the soil.
Chemical Drift
Inexperienced application of weedkiller on a windy day can kill your lawn or prized flowers.
Incorrect Mulching
Applying mulch too thinly (less than 50mm) will not block enough light to stop weed seeds from germinating.
Ignoring the Seed Cycle
Waiting until weeds have "gone to seed" means thousands of new seeds will be dropped into your soil for next year.
Costs & timeline
