Are you creating a weed control page but don’t know what to include on it?

Creating one can be tough if you have never done it before.

We have spoken to many companies that debated on including a weed control page on their website at all because they didn't think they could rank higher than competition like The Weed Man.

In this article, we will discuss what to include on your weed control page and how including a weed control page on your website can help you educate your customers and bring in new leads.

5 Topics to Include on Your Residential Weed Control/ Removal Page

1. How Much Does It Cost To Have Weeds Removed?

No matter what the service is, one of the first things your customers will want to know is how much it will cost. This allows them to determine if it fits in their budget and allows them to plan ahead.

While weed control costs can vary from yard to yard, you should still aim to provide prospective customers with a range of what your weed control services can cost.

For instance, you can write something like

“Weed control service generally costs between $50-$250. However, some factors that can impact the cost include:

• The size of the yard

• The weed control method

• The condition of the yard

• The type of herbicide

For more information about what can affect the cost of your weed control services, contact us today.”

Along with mentioning factors like those, you can also provide explanations beside or below them. Some customers may not know there are multiple methods of weed control or that different herbicides can be used to kill weeds.

If you offer weed control services that are more environmentally friendly and family friendly, including explanations about the cost is a great way to explain why you may charge more for your weed services.

You may want to include a paragraph like “At Green Day Landscaping, we do not use any chemical or synthetic methods to control weeds. We want to ensure that anything we put on your yard is safe for your family, pets, and the environment, which is why we only use organic and natural weed control products.”

2. How Often Should You Have Weed Treatments

In this section, you can specify that average amount of times customers will generally need to have their lawns treated for weeds, no matter what they do to their yards.

For example, you can write something like: “Customers in the triangle area generally need to have their yard treated for weeds 2-6 times per year.”

Under that, you can go into more detail about how there are other non-direct weed killing methods that work to prevent weeds, like:

• Regularly mowing your lawn

• Using the correct fertilizer regularly

• Mulching around plants and gardens

• Laying down weed block in natural areas

Since these are just a few of the things you can do, you can make your weed control page unique by adding specific preventative measures that you recommend.

You can also provide more context about how frequently customers will need to have their lawns treated for weeds.

3. Types of Weeds and Why They Grow in Your Yard

While you do landscaping as a business and know the ins and outs of everything landscaping, some of your customers have a very limited knowledge of landscaping.

They may not even know that there are different types of weeds, such as:

• Clovers

• Crabgrass

• Foxtail

• Dandelions

• Chickweed

• Bindweed

• Thistle

• Nutsedge

• Dallisgrass

To aid your customers in understanding weeds, why they arise, and how to keep them at bay, you will need to educate them on the types of weeds they may encounter.

Providing the details about why different types of weeds arise is a great way to help customers determine how best to prevent them.

4. How Can You Prevent Weeds From Growing in Your Yard?

Once you have gone over the different types of weeds, you should also provide specific advice about each type of weed and how to prevent it.

For instance, measures you would take against annual grassy weeds can differ from the ones you would apply to broadleaf weeds, which can differ from the ones you take against perennial weeds.

Additionally, since these weeds can arise at different times, it is important to specify that you should treat them as they come up, not other times of the year.

5. What Is the Most Effective Method for Removing Weeds?

As customers become educated on weeds and having them removed from their yards, they may ask things like “What is the most effective method for removing weeds?”

While this has already been discussed in your sections above on weed prevention, it is worth addressing this question directly since your customers may not immediately apply the logic they just learned.

A quick summary may sound like “The most effective method for removing weeds will depend on the type of weed you are removing and the amount of weeds you are removing. While spraying is a quick and efficient method, sometimes pulling weeds can be a highly effective method of weed control. Additionally, you should ensure that the spray you are using only kills specific weeds, rather than a non-selective herbicide that may also kill nearby plants.”
