"From start to finish, Hernan + crew did an outstanding job on a very big yard clean-up project. Our yard was completely overgrown. We needed to have all the weeds, leaves, and vines cleared. There was quite alot of brush to be removed, along with some small tree stumps. The crew started on-time, was always professional, cleaned up daily, and worked hard to complete the project within the promised timeline. Hernan responded quickly and was good with any necessary follow-up. The quote was very competitive (we got a number of bids for the work.) We highly recommend Eight Lanes and look forward to hiring them for future yard-related projects."

"Benny responded quickly to my Angie posting. His crew got to work immediately on a fall cleanup. He has a vacuum on the trick for picking up leaves too. Price was reasonable and service was professional. He also helped with a little weeding. All round, a good no fuss service at reasonable price."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

There are organic herbicide options that will kill grass but not flowers, including white vinegar or a dish soap solution. Commercial selective herbicides can also target grass over other plants, but read the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your garden. Herbicides that kill grass but not flowers usually include ingredients like clethodim and sethoxydim. Otherwise, your best bet will be to weed by hand.

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.

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’t spray vinegar on a windy day, or it will blow onto other plants.

Crabgrass is very resilient, and homemade solutions like vinegar may not be strong enough. Typically, hand-weeding is the most effective option that doesn’t involve harmful chemicals. You can use corn-meal gluten as a natural pre-emergent herbicide, but it’s not as effective as chemical weed killers.

Choosing fertilizers: slow-release for steady nutrients, organic for eco-friendliness, or specific blends for soil deficiencies or grass types.
