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 your grass regularly, especially if you’re mowing close to the ground, can help kill Johnsongrass. Frequent mowing helps limit the spread of Johnsongrass and can even deplete carbohydrate reserves in rhizomes over time. The more time you leave in between mowing, the more likely Johnsongrass is to regrow and take over your lawn. 

Herbicides containing a combination of the active chemical ingredients dicamba, fluroxpyr, and quinclorac are most effective at purging your turf of white clover. However, for small home lawns, organic prevention and control can be very effective methods for killing clover weeds and save you from using harmful pesticides that might damage your lawn.

Like sugar, the common household staple baking soda has uses in the yard. Baking soda boosts your plants to resist pests, fungal growth, and more. So, baking soda is good for your plants in certain instances, but exercise caution, as using too much could kill your plants. It’s great for hunting for pesky weeds, but not great for tending to a sensitive garden.

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.

Lawns with steep slopes can benefit from having quack grass. Quack grass's long roots and runners can help to prevent soil erosion on hillsides. Additionally, bird lovers may enjoy the fact that quack grass seeds are an attractive food choice for their avian friends.
