Steam Weeding
Weed control doesn’t have to mean harsh and destructive chemicals. Our pesticide-free process is safe for use in sensitive environments, like on playgrounds, along waterways, and in flower beds where bees are actively collecting pollen!

Before and Afters
FAQ
Is this really safe?
This is our favorite thing about steam technology! Our process is so safe that you can drink it. No chemicals, herbicides, or other additives. Just water!
Does this really work?
Yes! Steam really does kill plants
Do the weeds grow back?
This is not a one and done process!
Steam weeding is a process to help control the growth of weeds or other unwanted plants in your yard to where it is manageable.
Weeds are very resilient and most weeds that grow in Colorado are broadleaf weeds with well-established root systems that may take 3 or 4 applications. Hearty plant types use energy stored in their roots to regrow new leaves. Follow up applications kill the new growth and exhaust the weed's root system. Areas infested with grassy weeds may require a monthly program to get under control.
Occasional follow ups are great if you enjoy yard work and don’t mind pulling some of the new weeds when they are small.
What areas can be treated with steam?
Steam works on weeds in all areas. New customers often think of landscape beds first, but our process is effective almost anywhere there is unwanted vegetation. We love to steam residential and commercial rock beds, flagstone walkways, concrete paver patios, gravel driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, HOA common areas, and playgrounds. Steam is also a great way to tackle invasive species and noxious weeds in native areas, at trailheads, and along waterways.
Will this work in my garden beds?
Absolutely! Steaming your garden before planting helps control weeds throughout the growing season. Steaming in your garden is a great way to save time and quickly return carbon and nutrients into the soil.
Will this work on the weeds in my grass?
Steam can effectively control unwanted plants in turf, such as dandelions and clover, but there will be bare spots in the lawn after the weeds are dead.
For best results, we recommend using our compost tea treatments for your lawn!
Do you offer monthly service contracts?
After the first visit, we provide monthly service programs or occasional follow up visits based on your individual needs. We recommend monthly service if you have a busy lifestyle, don’t enjoy yard work, or need to get a weed problem under control.
