That can be difficult, but there is a product called Preen that can be sprinkled in your garden.

Even safe herbicides can hurt your tree if not applied carefully. The spray saves you time and labor when you want to rid the drip line of weeds and grass, but without the proper precautions, you can inadvertently harm your tree. Cover the trunk base with plastic or cardboard to prevent herbicide drift, which is where droplets blow in the wind to hit unwanted areas. Bark typically protects a mature tree, but green and thin barks are vulnerable. In addition, sprays can sneak into small chinks in the bark, such as cuts from a weed trimmer. Covering suckers, or immature trees that shoot up from the trunk base, prevents the young bark from absorbing the chemical into the main tree's system. Removing suckers as soon as they appear eliminates this concern. Choose a day with no wind so that droplets don't float over to the tree's leaves; a few drops won't harm the tree, but a significant amount can stress or kill it.
There is no weed killer that will not affect trees or flowers. Only solution is to lay down landscape fabric and 2" to3" of mulch in flower beds. 3" of mulch around the trees will slow weed growth.
The struggle is real, isn't it?!? This is the most effective all-natural weed killer DIY that we use. It's even been featured on Hometalk and pinned thousands of times! Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
