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

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

All herbicides come with risks, but you can control and mitigate risks by discussing your options with your weed service company before application. Some companies use milder or sustainable herbicides more times per season to control weeds rather than one to two herbicide sprayings annually. You can also ask your professional about pet-friendly and kid-friendly services. In most cases, though, you can wait a few days after the application for the herbicides to soak into the ground, at that point they shouldn’t pose a risk to you or your family.

There are organic herbicide options that will kill grass but not flowers, including white vinegar or a dish soap solution. Commercial selective herbicides can also target grass over other plants, but read the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your garden. Herbicides that kill grass but not flowers usually include ingredients like clethodim and sethoxydim. Otherwise, your best bet will be to weed by hand.

Choosing fertilizers: slow-release for steady nutrients, organic for eco-friendliness, or specific blends for soil deficiencies or grass types.

Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.
