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

Mowing a lawn will, unfortunately, not get rid of clover, and it may even encourage it to flourish. Let your lawn grow to a healthy height of over 3 inches and then set your mower blades no lower than this level. Higher grass will cut out the light that clover loves and discourage it from spreading.

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.

Weeds can grow through rubber mulch, but it depends on if you removed all the weeds in your garden beforehand. Weeds already in the soil can grow even when using rubber mulch. However, that doesn’t mean that your garden will be littered with rubber and weeds, but it does mean that the occasional weed might still pop up. Another way you can increase your weed suppression is by using landscape fabric as a second layer. 

Technically, dandelions aren’t bad for your lawn, and they don’t directly kill grass. In fact, they appear in areas that are nutrient-deprived, and their long taproots can loosen the soil and bring nutrients closer to the surface. 

However, dandelions do spread quickly, and they can take over your lawn, eventually crowding out grass. This is why a healthy lawn is the best defense against dandelions.

The safest method to avoid killing your turf grass is hand pulling Johnsongrass. You can also apply vinegar for a safer herbicide, but it will still burn your lawn if it gets on it.
