Sick of weeds taking over your landscape like they own the place?
Tired of paying landscapers to cut them down, only to have them return like an unwanted houseguest? We’ve got the fix.
The Never-Ending Weed War Ends Here
You pull. You spray. You trim. And then—boom—those weeds laugh in your face and come right back. Here’s why:
- Landscapers cut weeds, but don’t prevent them.
- DIY weed killers work after weeds are already a problem.
- Cheap sprays and incorrect application last about as long as your patience.
The problem isn’t the weeds—it’s that they keep coming back. But they don’t have to.
It’s time for a smarter way to stay weed-free.
Most weed solutions are reactive—we take a proactive approach. Our professional-grade pre-emergent treatment blocks weeds before they break the surface, meaning less maintenance, fewer headaches, and a yard that stays effortlessly clean.

Northern Arizona Weed Control
Who We Serve: If You’ve Got Weeds, We’ve Got You.
Weeds don’t discriminate—but lucky for you, neither do we. Whether you’re a homeowner sick of pulling weeds, an HOA dodging complaints, or a commercial property manager trying to keep things pristine, we make sure weeds aren’t your problem anymore.
Residential
Weeds can take over your yard fast, making it feel like you’re always pulling, spraying, or calling someone to deal with them. Our specialized pre-emergent treatment stops weeds before they sprout, so you can spend less time on yard work and more time actually enjoying your outdoor space.
HOA's
Keeping an entire community weed-free isn’t easy, and HOA violations can pile up quickly. Our scheduled preventative treatments keep common areas and individual properties weed-free, reducing complaints, fines, and extra landscaping costs—all while keeping your neighborhood looking its best.
Commercial
A well-maintained commercial property starts at the curb, but weeds can make outdoor spaces look unkempt and unprofessional. Our high-quality pre-emergent treatments keep sidewalks, parking lots, and landscaped areas weed-free, so you can maintain a polished appearance with less ongoing maintenance.
Landscapers
Weed control requires special licensing, but your clients still need it. That’s where we come in. We partner with landscapers to handle weed control for their customers, so you can offer a complete service without adding extra licensing, liability, or workload. You keep your clients happy—we keep their weeds away.
Meet the guy who actually loves fighting weeds.
Most people see weeds as a never-ending battle. We see them as a problem with a simple solution—if you do it right.
I’m Matt, the owner of Northern Arizona Weed Control, and after years in landscaping and weed management, I kept seeing the same thing: people wasting time and money on solutions that didn’t last. Landscapers trim weeds, store-bought sprays give you temporary relief, and meanwhile—the weeds keep winning.
That’s why I started NAZWC—to give Northern Arizona a real, long-term solution that actually works.
Unlike landscapers, we don’t do trimming, tree work, or general maintenance. Weed prevention is all we do, which means we do it better than anyone else. We’re fully licensed, trained, and experienced in specialized pre-emergent weed control, which stops weeds before they ever sprout.
I know weeds are annoying. I also know you have better things to do than think about them. Let’s take care of this now, so you never have to pull another weed again. After just two treatments (12 months), you’ll see a dramatic reduction in weeds. After four treatments (24 months), your yard will be nearly weed-free.
Our goal? Make your landscape look great and save you the time, money, and hassle of constant weed battles. If that sounds good to you, let’s get started.
Northern Arizona Weed Control
Why Pre-Emergent?
Most weed control only happens after weeds are already visible. By that point, they’ve dropped seeds and the cycle continues. Pre-emergent breaks the cycle by stopping weeds at the root, the instant they sprout. That means fewer weeds every season, less money wasted on constant spraying or landscapers, and a cleaner, weed-free property long-term.
Weed-Free Wisdom – Your Questions, Answered:
Q: Are You Allowed to apply pre-emergent without a license from the Arizona Department of Agriculture?
A: NO! If you are not licensed, then the only place you are allowed to apply pre-emergent is at your personal residence. Other than that, applying pre-emergent would be considered “commercial use” and is against the law and strictly prohibited.
Q: What is pre-emergent?
A: Pre-emergent is a product that kills weeds as soon as the seedlings germinate. When this happens, the seedlings are so small that you don’t even see them and the entire process happens underneath your landscaping. Pre-emergent is the most cost effective way to handle the weeds in your landscape.
Q: Is pre-emergent safe for my animals?
A: When it comes to safety, using a licensed applicator is extremely important. Licensed applicators have laws to abide by, which leads to keeping themselves and their customers safe. When applicators break the law and/or don’t follow the rules, dangerous situations can take place. Therefore, we are mandated under law to use products in accordance with their rules.
The products that we use for pre-emergent are not harmful to people, domestic animals, livestock, or wildlife. Additionally, the products that we use are always locked up in our lock-boxes, which is a law that we must follow from the Arizona Department of Agriculture.
Q: When is the optimal time of year to apply pre-emergent?
A: A Chinese proverb says “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Pre-emergent is the same idea; the best time of year to apply pre-emergent is 14 months ago. Read our article titled “When Is The Best Month To Apply Pre-Emergent In Northern Arizona?” to become a quick pre-emergent expert!
Q: What is the difference between pre-emergent?
A: The differences are enormous. The quality of the pre-emergent used will be the difference between no weeds, some weeds or lots of weeds. Make sure to inquire about the quality of the pre-emergent that’ll be used for you. Read our article titled “4 Elements For High Quality Pre-Emergent in Northern Arizona” to learn what’s actually important to having a weed free yard.
Q: What is post emergent?
A: Post Emergent is a product that kills weeds when they are already growing. Pre-emergent does not (and cannot) kill weeds that are already growing. When weeds are small, it generally takes a small amount of post emergent to kill them. As the weeds grow larger, their root system grows larger as well, and it requires more post emergent to kill them, sometimes with multiple applications. Post emergent is the most cost prohibitive way to handle the weeds in your landscape.
Q: How does it work?
A: We use specialized pre-emergent weed control that creates an invisible barrier in the top layer of your soil. When weed seeds try to sprout, they’re stopped before they even break the surface—preventing weeds before they start. We recommend treating every six months to maintain results.
Q: Is it really safe?
A: Yes! Our professional-grade pre-emergent is safe for people, pets, and the environment when applied correctly. Once it dries, which happens quickly, it’s completely inert and won’t affect your family or furry friends.
Q: Will I still see weeds after the first treatment?
A: Weed prevention takes time, but it works. After two applications (12 months), you’ll see a dramatic reduction in weeds. After four applications (24 months), you’ll be almost completely weed-free in treated areas. Any existing weeds will need to be removed, but over time, you’ll have fewer and fewer.
Q: Why should I choose Northern Arizona Weed Control instead of handling it myself?
A: Store-bought sprays only kill what’s already growing—they don’t prevent future weeds. Plus, professional pre-emergents, the kind we use, aren’t available to the public. We’re the only company in Northern Arizona that specializes 100% in weed prevention, and we know exactly what works for this climate.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Pricing depends on the size of your property, but most customers pay between $150–$300 per application. Since weeds get worse over time, prevention actually saves you money compared to constant weeding or hiring landscapers to fight them over and over again.
Q: Do I have to do this forever?
A: Think of it like pest control or changing your car’s oil—it’s ongoing maintenance that keeps bigger problems away. Pre-emergent weed control isn’t a one-and-done fix, because weeds are always trying to come back. However, the longer you stay on a consistent treatment schedule (every six months), the fewer weeds you’ll see over time. After a year or two of treatments, your yard will be dramatically easier to maintain, but skipping treatments means weeds will eventually return.
