on my lawn i keep getting new trees sprouting up which i mow with the
grass,
is there any way of getting rid of these without damaging the grass, i
though of cutting them about 2 inches from the ground and injecting weed
killer into the stems, would that work or is there a better idea


If there aren't very many just pull them up. If they grow back when you do
that try allowing leaves to form and then painting them with systemic weed
killer using a brush.

Work out what they are first. A common source of 'trees' growing in the
lawn is suckers from a nearby cherry tree, stimulated by mowing damaging
the near-surface roots. Using systemic weedkiller on these could well
kill the tree itself.
