"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeremiah and his lawn care service! From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, reliable, and incredibly pleasant to work with. He took great pride in his work and paid attention to all the little details, leaving our yard looking absolutely beautiful. It was obvious that he genuinely cares about doing a great job and making sure his customers are happy. Jeremiah went above and beyond what we expected, and the quality of his work was outstanding. I would highly, highly recommend Jeremiah to anyone looking for lawn care or landscaping services. He is hardworking, trustworthy, respectful, and takes his work seriously, which can be difficult to find these days. We are so happy with the results and will absolutely use him again in the future. If you are considering hiring him, I would not hesitate for a second — you will be very happy you did! Jeremiah is truly someone I would recommend to my family, friends, and neighbors."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your lawn maintenance checklist.

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

Yes, Johnsongrass is a hard weed to kill. It has the ability to grow fast and spread even quicker, so it requires a detailed plan and thorough application to eliminate it. The best plan of action is to kill Johnsongrass while the weed is establishing itself by hiring a lawn care professional or following the steps above. 

Weeds may grow back when pulled out if the root is not completely removed. Invasive weeds can regrow from just a small portion of remaining root, so using a weed-pulling tool can help ensure you remove the entire root. Weeds may grow back faster if roots aren’t fully removed, and incomplete removal could cause them to spread as well.

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.
