About this site
How to Get Rid of Weeds is a free, practical guide to controlling weeds in lawns, garden beds, driveways and gravel. Every page answers one question: what is this weed, and what actually works on it?
What you’ll find here
Step-by-step guides for the most common weeds in American yards, comparisons of weed killers (homemade, natural and store-bought), ways to prevent weeds in beds and hardscapes, and three free tools: a weed identifier, a homemade weed killer calculator and a weed control calendar by region.
How we write
We base our guides on published guidance from university extension services and on product labels, and we explain the limits of each method — including the cheap and popular ones. We don’t sell weed killers and we don’t publish sponsored content. Our method is detailed on the how we research page.
