"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars Isn’t Enough! On Saturday, July 25, 2026, I was searching for a reliable landscaper when I contacted Aaron King of King’s Turf Solutions. Even though it was a busy Saturday, Aaron took the time to personally call me and let me know he would come out to provide an estimate. That alone impressed me. What happened next truly speaks to the kind of person and businessman he is. On Sunday, July 26, 2026—a day he normally doesn’t work—Aaron came to my home and completely transformed my property. He did a beautiful job landscaping the front of my house, giving it a fresh, clean, and welcoming appearance. He also mowed my lawn, cleared my backyard of overgrown weeds, and left everything looking absolutely beautiful. His work was meticulous, and he treated my property with the same care and respect as if it where his own. Aaron is an outstanding landscaper but also an exceptional young man. He is professional, courteous & hardworking, BEST SERVICE EVER. Warmly Helena & Max"

"The landscapers spent most of one day at my property weeding, edging all beds, mulching, and trimming back a number of bushes and shrubs, and ground cover. Very good customer service by the owners and the work crew. Timely responses to emails and texts, and very accommodating to getting the job done to my satisfaction during the actual work. I would highly recommend Martin's Landscaping."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Very carefully. You should be cautious when using any of the above methods, as any one of them could lead to you accidentally killing desired grasses and plants. However, there are selective herbicides that can target certain plants over others. Look for a product that only affects the type of weeds you want to eliminate and spares the plants you want to keep.

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. 

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

Burning is not a recommended method for controlling foxtail grasses. In a large pasture scenario, the fire moves too quickly through the weeds to effectively burn and kill the seeds, meaning they will resprout eventually. If your lawn is overrun with foxtails, it’s best to consult a lawn care professional for suggestions on how to permanently remove it from your property.

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.
