Customers say: True professional

"Tim came out the same day I put in a request to have my yard mowed and gave me an estimate on what it was gonna take to have it done. It had been a month since my grass had been mowed, so it was quite overgrown. He came out the very next day and mowed my yard and it was fantastic. I have a creek behind my yard so all the grass clippings that were in my yard he took his leaf blower and blew the grass clippings into the brush near the creek. I was so pleased about this, that they wouldn't be left on the lawn. He did the weed eating and the edging, and I believe it took him just less than an hour. He was so professional, and I was so happy. I recommend him highly."

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 FAQs, answered by experts

Crabgrass is very resilient, and homemade solutions like vinegar may not be strong enough. Typically, hand-weeding is the most effective option that doesn’t involve harmful chemicals. You can use corn-meal gluten as a natural pre-emergent herbicide, but it’s not as effective as chemical weed killers.

Due to its slow growth, Bahia grass does not generally take over weeds. In fact, the opposite can be true. Young Bahia grass is susceptible to being taken over by weeds. 

Likewise, in the cool season, Bahia grass goes into a dormant state that can allow weeds that thrive in early spring to get the upper hand. If you want to prevent weeds from taking over your yard, remove them by hand or apply a Bahia grass-friendly pre-emergent herbicide to your lawn before weeds have a chance to appear.

Yellow patches, poor growth, or widespread weeds indicate a need for treatment. Soil testing can confirm nutritional deficiencies that require intervention.

Jet washing can wash away weeds without bending or kneeling to pull them. However, the results will likely be fleeting because the weeds will return unless you use a stronger method that takes them out at the root. Use a jet washer for short-term weed removal, but use a stronger method if you want to get rid of weeds for good.

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.
