Long-Lasting Garden Weed Control for Flower Beds, Shrubs, Borders and Around Trees

Weed control usually lasts for 3 to 6 months, keeping garden flowerbeds and amenity areas tidy in appearance and minimising the need for costly and time-consuming hand weeding. All of the products below are safe for trees and shrubs where they have been planted later than the previous spring. Please consult individual product labels for safety to each specific species.

What are the best weed killers for flower beds and around trees?
