But scrabbling about on your hands and knees to remove them from flower beds or patios can be back-breaking labour.
The LAWFYMORI Long Handle Weed Puller has an extra long handle that enables the user to extract unwanted vegetation without bending or kneeling down.
As a result it's been billed as an 'ideal gift for seniors' who want to continue to enjoy their gardens but want to avoid running the risk of injury.
The 2-in-1 head means the tool can be used as a both a weed rake or a garden hoe.
The weed puller also has an adjustable handle, meaning it can be extended or shortened to either 42 cm, 79 cm, 115 cm or 150 cm.
One reviewer on Amazon called the tool, which retails at £21.99, a "weeding game changer".
They wrote: "Weeding - one of the worst things about the spring and summer months!
"With this tool, it is not nearly as bad - it is even satisfactory! Perfect for what I need - I was going to buy a hoe but came across this which is much better.
"The rake side makes it so easy to pull out the whole weed (inc. roots) from the soil and gravel areas without bending and the hoe is good for weeds on the paving / driveway.
"The hoe part is smaller than most dutch hoes but it still does the job. This tool will make it a lot easier to keep on top of the endless weeds that grow everywhere."

Another reviewer wrote: "This is excellent for pulling out tough weeds in your garden.
"I struggle when I kneel down, so buying this has made the task of taking the weeds out so much easier.
"It gets out stubborn thistles too. I would highly recommend this weed puller and the seller. The package came quickly and was well wrapped. It is easy to assemble as well.
While the LAWFYMORI has an average 4.5 star rating on Amazon, not everyone was entirely smitten with the product - with several reporting issues with the handle.
One user said "the handle came off a few times" and reported that they were considering using glue to fix it in.
Another wrote: "Handy enough tool and lightweight but after using it for a few minutes the top handle kept popping off.
"Heres my fix. take the top off and wrap the top end of the shaft with plumers UVP tape the force the top back on.
"Design flaw? Maybe. Easy enough fix? Sure. But should I have to have fixed it for them? No."
