Q: Does sealing pavers prevent weeds?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-use-paver-sealer.htm">Sealing pavers helps cut down on weed growth</a>, but it won&rsquo;t wipe it out entirely. What it does really well is harden the joint sand&mdash;especially if you&rsquo;re using a sealant with polymer additives&mdash;so weeds have a much harder time breaking through. It also blocks airborne seeds from settling in the cracks and keeps debris from building up. This results in fewer weeds, easier maintenance, and a cleaner-looking surface. Just remember, sealing is a strong defense&mdash;not a one-and-done solution. Stay on top of sweeping, spot-treating, and resealing every few years to keep your weeds in check. </p></div>

Q: Will mowing kill Johnsongrass?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/grass-cutting-tips-know-you-mow.htm">Mowing your grass</a> regularly, especially if you&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to kill weeds and unwanted grass?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should I pull weeds wet or dry?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to pull weeds when the soil is wet, as it&rsquo;s much easier. Wet soil is much softer than dry soil, making it easier to pull the entire weed up by the root. Also, since the soil is wet, the roots will let go of the soil and slide up with less resistance. Be careful when working on your wet garden, though, as wet soil is easier to compact, which can harm your plants.</p></div>

Q: Is a one-time spray enough?

• <div><p>Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you&rsquo;ll notice a big difference after one application. However, mosquitoes are likely to return if you don't reduce attractive standing water habitats. This usually takes four to eight weeks if it&rsquo;s still prime mosquito season. </p></div>

"The provider showed up on time as promised. After about 40 minutes the service guy was wrapping up and had to ask him to redo some sections that were clearly not clean. Also missed stairs completely. They did finish it up and final job was fine. Had some trouble communicating with service guy as his English was limited. Wasn't terrible but wouldn't use again.

"I had 5 vendors bid the job and they were the lowest cost, I did not feel I was being pressured to buy anything I did not want. They developed the plans and worked with the City to get the permit. Contacted me well ahead of time to setup an install date. They were there right on time, worked the whole time completing the project on time with no problem.

Did all the foot work with PG&E to get the meter turned on. and once everything was completed walked me through the monitoring program and provided a simulated PG*E bill and explained what the billing would look like. They provided the stamped plans, permit card and all the warranties that support the equipment install.
