I started my lawn care company because I wanted to provide homeowners with something that can be hard to find these days: reliable, honest, quality service from someone who genuinely cares about the work they do.\n\nI’ve always believed that your home and property should be something you’re proud of, and a well-maintained yard can make a huge difference. My goal is to take that responsibility off your shoulders and give you one less thing to worry about.\n\nI’m not interested in being the biggest lawn company. I want to be the company customers can count on. That means showing up when I say I will, doing the job right, treating your property with respect, and making sure you’re happy with the results.\n\nI started this company because I want to build something based on hard work, trust, and long-term relationships with my customers. When you choose my company, you’re not just hiring someone to mow your grass—you’re trusting me with your home, and I take that seriously.

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Yes, weeds will grow through pea gravel but you can prevent this during the installation process. Install a weed barrier underneath pea gravel and swap it out every three years to keep weeds at bay.

Glyphosate and other non-selective herbicides can kill orchard grass, but they will also kill the surrounding plants. Also, not all areas allow the use of glyphosate due to its environmental impact—which the EPA describes as a "potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees." Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.

The fastest ways to kill weeds and unwanted grass include burning them, pouring boiling water on them, or pulling them out by hand, as these methods work almost instantaneously. For a quick-acting solution that works within a few hours, you can use a commercial-grade herbicide like glyphosate or a DIY vinegar, salt, and dish soap mixture. While effective, be aware that commercial herbicides introduce chemicals into your lawn. The slowest method for killing weeds is to starve them of sunlight and nutrients using mulch or fabric covers.

Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your lawn maintenance checklist.

Foxtail self-seeds and dispurses them among other grasses and pastures. The seeds can spread by wind and by attaching themselves to animals and humans. Seeds will germinate in their new location and become a new plant, which continues the spread of foxtail. Unfortunately, foxtail spreads easily, making it difficult to remove unless it’s caught quickly.
