How do I say "pull all the weeds"?
First time I am using this landscaper and I need him to "pull all the weeds", "trim the bushes" and "cut back the perennials to the ground". How do I say all these things???

I would say: Arranque la maleza "pull out the weeds" Pode los arbustos "Trim the bushes" Corte las plantas perennes a ras "cut back the perennials to the ground"
Mountaingirl's answers are spot-on, the only thing that I would add is to put the words, "Por favor" in front of each request. That means, "please".
And when they are leaving, you can say, "Gracias." That means "thank you".
It never hurts to be polite.
Welcome to the forum! "pull all the weeds" - "arranca toda la mala hierba" / "trim the bushes" - "poda la maleza" / "cut back the perennials to the ground" - "corta las plantas perennes al ras del suelo".
