Weeding Services
At West Earth Landscaping and Maintenance, we employ a multifaceted approach to control and prevent weeds in Perth gardens, aiming to deliver effective and environmentally responsible solutions.
Effective weed management requires a tailored approach that considers the specific needs and challenges posed by each weed species as well as your environmental concerns. Our range of techniques includes:
Weed Removal
Our preferred method is manually removing weeds to ensure the entire root is removed, preventing regrowth. While this approach is time-consuming, we find it to be the most effective in the long term and no chemicals are required – Yay!
Weed Spraying
For budget-conscious clients to speed up the process of weed removal, we use Slasher Weedkiller, a glyphosate-free, organic herbicide derived from plant oils. While not as effective in the long term as manual removal, it is an affordable and safe option when applied correctly.
Garden Maintenance
We provide regular garden maintenance services to keep your lawn and garden clean and free from weeds. By maintaining gardens consistently, we tackle weeds before they become a larger problem.
Mulching
Through our mulching services, we apply a layer of organic material to the soil, depriving weeds of sunlight to prevent growth, while also enriching the soil and retaining moisture.
Lawn Care
Regular lawn care such as regular lawn mowing and whipper snipping strengthens lawns, making it denser and less hospitable for weeds to take root and flourish.
Design & Plant Advice
We provide advice on plant selection and garden layout. Planting densely with native, hardy species and ground covers can outcompete weeds for resources and discourage their growth.
Weeds in Perth Gardens
Climate Challenges
Perth’s Mediterranean climate, characterised by wet winters and hot, dry summers, is particularly favourable for certain weeds. This weather pattern allows invasive species to rapidly take root and dominate our gardens and lawns.
Soil Composition
Certain weed species can fundamentally change the composition of the soil, making it less hospitable for desired plants. Some even produce chemicals that can hinder or completely inhibit the growth of other plants around them, a phenomenon known as allelopathy.
The Competition for Resources
Weeds tend to grow at a much faster rate than most domesticated plants, competing for the same valuable resources such as sunlight, water and nutrients. As weeds establish and spread, they can overpower your garden plants, depriving them of the essential resources they need to grow and thrive.
Garden Health & Value
Besides their impact on plant life, weeds can also encourage the proliferation of pests and diseases, further compromising the condition of other plants in your garden. Furthermore, when left unchecked, weeds can quickly overrun your garden, altering its aesthetic appeal and potentially reducing the value of your property.
Ultimately, effective weed control is crucial not only for maintaining the visual appeal of your garden but also for preserving its ecological balance.
