Why should I hire a weed removal professional?
Weeds in the garden can be very persistent and annoying as well as spoil the look of the garden.

If you want to spray the garden yourself, you can buy preparations from agricultural pharmacies or you can even hire an expert to do the weeding by spraying. An expert will know better which preparations to use and how to protect himself when spraying.
What should you pay attention to when removing weeds from the garden?
Since weeding a garden is very laborious and certain plants come back despite being removed several times, the use of chemical weed killers is an obvious choice. But one should be careful when using such means, because they can also be dangerous for people, animals and other plants. Chemical weed killers are strictly prohibited on all paved paths around the house (sidewalks, parking spaces, stone terraces and garden paths) due to the risk of entering the sewage system. Household remedies, such as cleaning agents, are also not allowed, as harmful substances can enter surface and groundwater. It is also important, if you cannot do without chemicals, to always wear protective gloves when collecting the destroyed weeds.
What are the benefits of removing weeds from the garden?

What preparations should be made to remove weeds from the garden?
The best and environmentally friendly technique is manual weeding, which is easiest after the rainy season when the soil is soft. Then you can remove many plants without tools. On dry soil, you can work well with ash, and then remove weeds easily. Chemical weed killers, usually offered in liquid or concentrate form and sprayed directly onto the plant with a pressure sprayer, are an alternative. Spraying should only be done on dry weeds, and as it often takes several hours to take effect, the area should not be watered afterwards and also not used before the rainy season.
Which method is right for weeding?

Hot water is also considered a good organic home remedy. Simply pour it over the weeds and let it dry. Then remove the plant debris. And here an expert can best decide which method is best.
How much time is enough for weeding?
The amount of time you should plan for weeding depends on the size of the garden and the amount of weeds present.
