"After having gone through a couple of gardeners who either did the very minimal or ones that just didn't show up I was hopeful after reading the reviews here. I scheduled a visit and waited that morning wondering which it would be. I received a text shortly before the scheduled time indicating that he was going to need to reschedule to a few hours later. A text! Jackpot! This guy actually uses technology! So of course, a couple hours was perfectly fine. He arrived, we went through my expectations; explaining that we had a dog and he knew right off about the foxtails and said that he would take them off site and would clear everything out. We scheduled for the next week and while they arrived a bit late (<30m), again, he sent me a text telling me he was running a little behind. They got to work and started plowing through the roughage. He and his team were 'all up in those weeds'. I was seriously impressed as they were pulling out the foxtails on the incline and properly corralling them onto a cloth for disposal. His team put in some hard work clearing this area out. Afterwards, they redistributed the existing mulch and I could not be happier with the quality of work he and his team performed. I've already got him scheduled for regular lawn maintenance monthly."

"They showed up on time.  They did a nice job of what they did; however, they left a big weeding project in the front yard, and decided to whack bushes in back yard which was not a high priority (only if they had time after front yard was completed).  I think, maybe, there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication, because they did a nice job and seemed conscientious.

"I’m extremely happy with the lawn and garden clean-up service done by Carlos! The maintenance team did an amazing job—everything looks neat, refreshed, and well cared for. They were professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail, from trimming and edging to clearing out debris and leaving the space spotless. My yard looks better than it has in a long time. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality lawn and garden maintenance!"

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.

The best way to prevent weeds is to use polymeric sand, which hardens and blocks weed growth when activated with water. If you're using regular sand, you'll need to refill and compact it more often. Keeping the surface clean and free of debris can also help prevent weed seeds from settling in the joints.

Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you’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’s still prime mosquito season.

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.

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.
