"Mike from Hornsby Mowing did an excellent job with my yard. I told him I wanted basic services, which included mowing the lawn and cleaning up the debris. He went the extra mile by trimming both the front and back yard, and he honored my request to make my yard look clean and tidy again. He was quick to respond to my questions, offered me a fair price, and gave me several ways to contact him for his services. I would highly recommend HornsbyMowing and look forward to continuing business with him. Thank-you Mike Sincerely!!!"

"They were prompt to call me back, very quickly when I called to check on the service. They were very professional, confident and when they came out they explained what they were going to do. They mowed, edged, picked up sticks and rocks in the yard and threw them away. They even pulled weeds that were coming from the concrete driveway which has never been done before. They are a local, new business and they are dynamite! These days good customer service hard to find and few and far between. They were top notch, they payed attention to detail and they made it personal; they made me feel like I was someone they cared about. I would recommend them to all my friends and family."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

The best time to hire a weed service company is in the early spring. This allows them to apply a pre-emergent weed killer that stops weeds from taking root, making maintenance for the rest of the season much easier. Following the initial spring application, a monthly service through the summer and early fall is a good idea for ongoing weed control. These regular treatments, combined with manual removal or spot treatment, should be sufficient to maintain a weed-free yard. Alternatively, you can hire a professional in the fall for the following year, as some companies may offer better rates on contracts signed before the busy spring season.

Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise. 

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.
