Many of our clients ask us if they should plant grass seed or kill the weeds first. The answer is that the weeds should be killed first. Before seeds can grow, the weeds and poor looking grass around the lawn should be killed. If you have a large lawn, you may want to consider using a lawn mower. Lawn mowers are a great way to get rid of weeds that are growing in your lawn.
They can also be used to kill weeds growing on the side of your house or in the front yard. If you don’t have one of these, then you can use a garden hose to spray the area around your yard with a mixture of water and weed killer. This will kill all weeds in a short period of time.
