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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is It Better to Pull Weeds or Spray?2023-09-19T08:57:04+08:00

Pulling weeds by hand is often the most effective and environmentally friendly method of weed control, particularly for garden beds. However, this can be time-consuming, especially if you have a large area overrun with weeds.

For those looking to get rid of weeds without breaking the bank, many request our gardeners to apply an environmentally friendly herbicide as a cost-effective alternative.

When using herbicides as part of our weeding services, our expert gardeners ensure the correct application to protect both your plants and the wider environment. This involves multiple considerations like the type of chemical, its concentration, and even factors like weather and time of day.

When is the Ideal Time for Weeding in Perth?2023-09-19T08:59:42+08:00

In Perth, our team of hard-working gardeners recommends tackling weeding jobs during early spring and autumn.

These seasons sync well with the growth cycles of common weed seeds, making it easier to rid your lawn and garden beds of invasive plants.

Spring is key for a general clean and weeding, as this is when many weeds begin to sprout and establish paths through your garden.

Autumn, in contrast, is the perfect time for a thorough garden clean to remove any lingering weeds and fill areas where they might spread, preventing dormant seeds from taking over come spring.

What Are the Most Common Types of Weeds in Perth?2023-09-04T12:01:24+08:00

The most common types of weeds in Perth gardens are Bindii, Dandelion, Capeweed, Caltrop, Winter Grass and Couch Grass.
