Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Tips for Clearing Weeds Effortlessly

Weeding can feel like a daunting task in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but there are several efficient ways to clear those annoying weeds from your island without too much hassle. Whether you’re a newcomer or returning after a break, it’s essential to know your options for tackling weeds. Here’s a rundown of the various methods to keep your island weed-free without having to pull them all by hand.

**Enact an Ordinance**
One effective approach is to implement the Beautiful Island ordinance. By doing this, your villagers will pitch in to help maintain the island, whether it’s watering flowers, fishing out trash, or pulling weeds. This will help keep the weed population under control over time. To set this up, speak with Isabelle at the Resident Services building and choose the “review island features” option. From there, select “discuss ordinances” and pick the one you want to activate. Enacting an ordinance costs 20,000 bells and takes a day to take effect. While this method is slower, it’s also more budget-friendly compared to the alternatives.

**Leif’s Weeding Service**
If you prefer a quicker solution, Leif offers a weeding service that will clear all the weeds from your island for a fee of 100,000 bells or more. This service takes one day to complete and will remove every weed in one go. Plus, the weeds Leif collects will be placed in the recycle box at Resident Services, allowing you to either sell them back to him for a profit or keep them for crafting.

**Resetti’s Reset Service**
Starting January 15 with the 3.0 update, you can take advantage of Resetti’s Reset Service, a new feature that allows you to clear flowers, furniture, and more in bulk, including weeds and trash. You can choose to have Resetti clear a small section of the island, just the beach, or even the entire island. Pricing details are still under wraps, but expect it to be a premium service with varying costs based on the area you want cleaned.
