What herbicide is best for orchard grass control?

• <div><p>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—<a href="https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/glyphosate">which the EPA describes</a> as a "potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees." Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.</p><p></p></div>

Q: Can I use herbicide to kill the roots of a neighbor’s tree?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not legal to intentionally damage a neighbor&rsquo;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&rsquo;t poison your neighbor&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What kills clover but not the grass?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/lawn-maintenance-checklist.htm">lawn maintenance checklist</a>.</p></div>

Q: What will kill dandelions but not grass?

• <div><p>Look for a broadleaf herbicide, one that has been formulated specifically for dandelions and is considered grass-safe.</p></div>

Q: What is the best clover killer?

• <div><p>Herbicides containing a combination of the active chemical ingredients dicamba, fluroxpyr, and quinclorac are most effective at purging your turf of white clover. However, for small home lawns, organic prevention and control can be very effective methods for killing clover weeds and save you from using harmful pesticides that might damage your lawn.</p></div>

Lincoln did a great job - was professional and neat in his work. My parking lot and storefront were pretty bad with weeds and dirt and he did a great job cleaning all that up in time for the 4th of July holiday. I called on short notice too - but he fit me right in!
