My name is Dusty, and to put it in simple terms my Grandpa said "he knows grass". But seriously, I grew up in The Largest Potato Producing County in the world. In 2nd or 3rd grade we grew grass, and did a lot of things related to the science of growing. Photosynthesis is a process of survival for plants but other factors could affect how the plant actually takes in light. If the plant 🪴 (including your lawn) doesn't absorb nutrients or something as simple as drainage isn't done right it can cause lots of problems.\n\nSo my approach is "Let's get to the ROOT CAUSE of all your property problems"!\n\nI've worked landscaping crews and never appreciated how much they charge for a MOW N' BLOW, or a fee for "Grass Height"!? No, here at Carrot Top, I strive to provide you the best customer service based on three main core values of our company: Honesty, Integrity, and Communication. Carrot Top LC&M isn't just cutting service. We care for your property just like if it was you 🫵 taking care of it!

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

Adding vinegar to your lawn increases the acidity of the area, which can kill quack grass present above the ground. However, putting vinegar in your yard will also kill the grass. Unfortunately, the below-ground quack grass rhizomes remain very much alive in the presence of vinegar and will soon sprout again.

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.

No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.

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.
