"This local family run business provided outstanding and excellent service. Although they did not create appointments over the web, they replied rapidly to my phone call, arranged a timely appointment, kept their appointment time and informed me of options to arrive earlier. Upon arriving they did an excellent job in assessing every sprinkler head, pipe, valve, throughout the entire yard. They found 3 leaks, 7 damaged sprinkler heads, and one bad valve. They sought me out for each discovery to show me. They provided me a revised estimate, and upon my immediate acceptance, they were able to return the very next day and complete all the work within 4 hours, which was impressive considering the tree roots that had engulfed much of our irrigation system. I recommend these landscapers for any residential irrigation issues enthusiastically and without reservation. Satisfied customer, DN in Palo Alto."

"Landscape Solutions did a great job and I would have them back again if I ever need additional work. They installed concrete and drainage in our backyard and walkway. This was a pretty extensive project that was done well. Not only are Scott and Norka (management) personable and honest, their workers are very pleasant and are happy to answer questions."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Typically seasonally, but tailored schedules depend on local conditions and plant types.

Some of the particular herbicides that work best to get rid of nut grass without killing the grass include Halosulfuron-methyl, mesotrione, sulfentrazone, and metsulfuron. A herbicide like glyphosate would kill nutgrass, but it will kill nearby plants, too.

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.

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.

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.
