Remove Weeds. Restore Clean Beds. Protect Your Landscape.



🌿 What Is Bed Weeding and Crack Weeding?

Bed Weeding is the removal of unwanted plants, weeds, invasives, and overgrowth from your landscape beds.


Crack Weeding targets weeds growing in sidewalk cracks, driveway joints, stone pathways, edging lines, and patio seams — the spots that instantly make a property look neglected.

This service keeps your beds clean, your mulch looking fresh, and your home looking well-kept.


💡 Why Bed Weeding Matters (Especially in Cincinnati)

Cincinnati’s rain + humidity = weeds explode overnight.Left alone, they:

  • Steal nutrients from your actual plants

  • Spread underground via root networks

  • Make beds look messy, unmaintained, and aged

  • Attract bugs and pests

  • Cause mulch breakdown faster

  • Ruin curb appeal in even the best neighborhoods

Bed Weeding is maintenance that protects your investment — especially if you just mulched, planted flowers, or refreshed beds.


🔧 What This Service Includes

When we weed your beds, we:

  • Hand-pull or tool-remove weeds from all beds

  • Remove weeds in sidewalk cracks, driveway seams, patios, and stone paths

  • Remove roots (not just tops) so they don’t grow back fast

  • Clear out dead plants or anything overtaking beds

  • Lightly cultivate the soil surface for airflow

  • Clean up all debris produced

  • Inspect the area for future weed threats

Optional add-ons that pair perfectly:

  • Pre-emergent weed treatments

  • Mulch installation

  • Bed edging

  • Shrub trimming

  • Seasonal flower installs


📅 When to Schedule Bed Weeding

  • Every 2–4 weeks in spring–summer (prime weed season)

  • Before mulching

  • Before bed edging

  • Before seasonal planting

  • After storms / high rainfall periods

  • During routine maintenance visits


If you leave it too long, weeds root deeply and become a fight.


💰 Pricing Expectations


Most Cincinnati weeding visits fall between:

  • $60–$200 for light to moderate weeding

  • $200–$350 for severe or neglected beds

Pricing depends on:

  • Bed size

  • Weed density

  • Crack weeding needs

  • Access

  • Cleanup volume

If it pairs with mulch or edging, costs usually go down since prep overlaps.


🔄 Best Services to Pair With Bed Weeding

  • Bed Edging

  • Mulch Refresh

  • Shrub & Hedge Care

  • Seasonal Flowers

  • Lawn Health Treatments

  • Routine Maintenance Programs

  • Debris Cleanup


This combo keeps beds looking CLEAN — especially in front-yard heavy Cincinnati neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Oakley, and Pleasant Ridge.


❓ FAQ — Bed Weeding Edition

Q: How fast do weeds grow back?

A: Without pre-emergent? 1–3 weeks. With pre-emergent and maintenance? 4–8 weeks.


Q: Do you spray chemicals?

A: We hand-pull primary weeds. Spraying is optional and used for cracks or stubborn invasives.


Q: Do weeds ruin mulch?

A: Yes — weeds break down mulch, make it look messy, and keep beds from looking sharp.


Q: Should I weed before mulching?

A: YES. Mulching over weeds just makes them harder to kill.


Q: Can crack weeds be prevented?

A: Yes — crack sealing, pre-emergent, and regular touch-ups keep them gone.
