"Worked harder, cut the tall grass and weeds faster and did a much better job than the last guy. He got the front and back, whereas the last guy only did the front in time. A very nice humble, man too. I will hire him again in a second!!!"

"Chad and John did an awesome job. We had a big lawn job, lots of weeds, leaves, overgrown bushes, pine needles. They took care of most of it when they came to give us an estimate. They advised us on weed control and treated them while they were there to. They followed up in a few days to finish the job. They were very fair in price, communicated very well, worked really hard and got our yard looking great. Thank you Chad and John we will be using you guys again for future jobs."

"Our previous gardener wouldn't show up on time, and we could not leave our dogs locked up all day. We went a month without any lawn service. Pablo's Service went through the back yard like a white tornado and left it looking pristine."

Weed Services FAQs, answered by experts

Technically, dandelions aren’t bad for your lawn, and they don’t directly kill grass. In fact, they appear in areas that are nutrient-deprived, and their long taproots can loosen the soil and bring nutrients closer to the surface. 

However, dandelions do spread quickly, and they can take over your lawn, eventually crowding out grass. This is why a healthy lawn is the best defense against dandelions.

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.

Landscape fabric and a few inches of gravel should be enough to put under a deck to prevent weeds from flourishing. If you don’t want to invest the time and money on a project like this, you can regularly spray the area underneath your deck to kill weeds.

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.
