- 1). Purchase a small handheld lawn trimmer or brush cutter. These trimmers are not like conventional weed eaters; they are smaller, lighter and easily fit into the smallest spaces.
- 2). Apply a smaller attachment to your existing weed eater. Attachments are available to swivel or increase cutting length and width in smaller areas where standard attachments cannot fit.
- 3). Remove weeds with a handheld, manual blade. This method requires a bit more work than using a gas-powered weed eater or trimmer, but you can effectively reach smaller spaces. Blades come in all shapes and sizes.
- 4). Place mulch at the base of trees, bushes and under porches to decrease weed growth. Mulching these areas will help prevent weed gestation while killing off existing weeds. The mulch also nourishes your bushes and trees.
