Trimming and Pruning Cost
There’s a difference between trimming and pruning that some homeowners mistake its meaning. Trimming is to shape a tree followed by your desire, meanwhile pruning is to collect and ruin unwanted branches or roots around the lawn ground. That’s why the cost between them will have a bit of difference.
TREE TRIMMING
Tree Trimming
For trimming a tree, it charges gardeners a big amount, between $100 and $700, depending on the type of that tree, as well as the shape you want it to be. It should be done at least twice a year to keep the beauty of flower beds along your curbs. Shrubs and some trees spread so quickly that they might grow over your hedges and hidden insects will attack your property. The longer you let them overrun, the bigger mistakes your lawn has to bear.
Shrubs trimming

WEED REMOVAL COST
Weed removal by hand
For weed control in the early spring, the cost to apply weed treatment is between $60 and $150 per time. There are several ways to control weeds on your lawn: pull by hand, use a hoe, use pre and post-emergent herbicides, and so on. You need to minimize weeds when it’s still a few inches on the ground. Once weed reaches its maturity and the tough roots become more stubborn, the weed control job will turn into hard ever.
Weeds belong to the grass family but are more persistent. That’s why weeds will constantly generate and grow near your lawn and destroy the landscaping yard you’ve built. Using chemical herbicides is the most effective way to control weeds’ growth.
Weed herbicides
However, this way might kill other trees in your garden by accident if you don’t have knowledge adequate to spray it. That’s the reason why you should hire professional weeds killers to best protect your lawn from the intrusion of weeds.

In common, it’s from $35 to $100 for a cubic and the mulch installation varies between $25 to $50. It should be done in the early spring and after edging flower beds and trimming trees. Don’t add mulch too early if you don’t want to make it counterproductive to your lawn.
