Professional Hand Weeding Services in Twin Cities

Gardens and flower beds are like children: They are a joy to watch grow up but, boy, do they take a lot of work. Especially when you only have so much time, energy, and patience for those down-and-dirty gardening duties. At Green Horizons, we care for your garden like one of our very own and love to get dirt under our green thumbnails. Let us handle the weeding so you can enjoy more love and less labor in your outdoor spaces.

In addition to hand-pulling weeds—including those deep dandelion tap roots or the extensive rhizomes of the dreaded Creeping Charlie—Green Horizons gardening crews employ an array of tools to dig, scoop, pull, and wrestle weeds (and their pesky roots) into submission and out of your garden. From Rototillers to Bobcat front loaders, we have the right cultivating equipment for the job, ensuring complete weed removal without disturbing your precious plants.

Hand weeding is the gold standard for bed maintenance because it removes the entire plant—roots and all—without introducing chemicals near vegetables, herbs, or sensitive ornamentals. Our trained crews identify common Minnesota weeds and use proper techniques to extract roots completely, preventing regrowth. We work carefully around perennials, bulbs, and ground covers, distinguishing desirable plants from invasive volunteers.

Upon request and only if necessary, we utilize chemical weed controls (non-selective herbicide, for example) to cleanse entire areas. After which, we recommend adding a pre-emergent weed preventer to prevent new weeds from seeding. But many clients prefer our chemical-free approach for edible gardens and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Regular hand weeding (every 2-4 weeks during growing season) prevents weeds from establishing deep roots or going to seed. For neglected beds, we provide intensive initial cleanup followed by maintenance visits. It's all about giving your gardens and flower beds the care they deserve—more love from us means less labor for you.
