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 vinegar kill weeds and not grass?

• <div><p>Vinegar cannot tell the difference between weeds and desired grass types; it kills everything it touches. Only use a vinegar or vinegar-based solution if you are relatively confident that you can navigate around the plants and grasses you want to keep. Also, don&rsquo;t spray vinegar on a windy day, or it will blow onto other plants. </p></div>

Q: When is the best time to hire a weed control service and how often should they treat your yard?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What will kill crabgrass but not grass?

• <div><p>A spot herbicide for weed control is effective at killing crabgrass and not grass, but it depends on the type of herbicide. Always check the label to ensure that your herbicide is safe for grass but tough on crabgrass. Overall, spot treatment is ideal because it puts fewer herbicides into the soil, which can damage the soil. If you&rsquo;re wanting a natural remedy to crabgrass that also won&rsquo;t harm surrounding grass, you can also hand-remove crabgrass or even pour boiling water or 5% vinegar over crabgrass as a spot treatment.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to completely prevent weed growth?

• <div><p>No, it's not really possible to completely prevent weed growth. Weeds are incredibly resilient&mdash;all they usually need is a tiny bit of dirt to sprout, so their eventual appearance is pretty much inevitable. However, you can definitely keep them at bay by getting rid of weeds as soon as you notice them. The longer you let them sit and grow roots, the more they'll spread.</p></div>

After my wife called all the regular electricians in the area she decided to contact this company. This was during the fire and we needed our new generator hooked up to the service. They came over the same day and did a quick install, very professional job too . I highly recommend this...

"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.
