"Rigo provided a very reasonable estimate. They did a tremendous amount of work. The end result was GREAT. He communicates well. Tells us clearly, what he can and cannot do. Gives us good reasons. His team is polite and gets the job done. (Rigo also does our monthly yard work, and the same excellent service comes through there as well.)"

"Ernesto and his team are the absolute best! We've had our fair share of gardeners over the years and nobody compares. Ernesto's team has taken care of our property for over three years and each year the yard looks better and better. They are meticulous, hard working, and very communicative. Neighbors and friends constantly ask who takes care of our yard because it looks fantastic. 10/10, don't think twice and hire this crew."

"I was without lawn service for a month. Also, the previous gardener damaged several sprinklers. Eric came the same day I contacted Home Advisor. The day of service he mowed, edged, and blew, then assessed the sprinklers. He flagged all the damaged ones and found a leaky valve. We worked out a repair schedule. He is knowledgeable and works with you."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

No, it's not really possible to completely prevent weed growth. Weeds are incredibly resilient—all they usually need is a tiny bit of dirt to sprout, so their eventual appearance is pretty much inevitable. However, you can definitely keep them at bay by getting rid of weeds as soon as you notice them. The longer you let them sit and grow roots, the more they'll spread.

There are several ways to kill poison ivy permanently. The trick is to keep it from coming back. Herbicides and natural remedies are highly effective for killing existing poison ivy plants. However, plant and root parts left behind can easily create new sprouts that turn into full-grown plants. The only way to permanently get rid of poison ivy is to be patient and diligent until all traces of the plant are dead and gone.

It’s not legal to intentionally damage a neighbor’s tree. Even if the roots of a tree encroach into your yard, if you damage or kill a tree that belongs to your neighbor, you can be held liable for the damage in most cases. Since herbicides can spread through the tree, causing damage to the whole tree and not just the roots that are on your side of the property line, you shouldn’t poison your neighbor’s tree. The other downside to this method is that if the tree dies, it can fall onto your property and cause more damage, so herbicides are best avoided in this circumstance.

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.

Each type of weed comes with its own control methods, but stopping the seed spread is the first step. Grazing, mowing, and hand pulling can slow the invasion. In some cases, selective herbicide is necessary to stop a persistent weed from overtaking an area.
