"Terrific! Prestige Brothers Yard Maintenance Service is the very best we’ve had for our community of 9 lots. We have 7 residences and 2 vacant lots as well as very large common areas around a pond and two large rainwater catchments. Prestige has consistently kept these areas looking as nice as possible through weekly mowing and edging, routine trimming of hedges and plants, weed control, fertilization, pest control, and irrigation system checks and maintenance. We highly recommend!"

"My prior company left me high and dry when they left the neighborhood. Went through Home Advisor, called Prime Lawn, they picked me up immediately. I have been using them every week to take care of my lawn and they do an excellent job."

"I reached out to Golden Garden to help me with everything! I needed my lawn, mowed, weeds addressed, bushes trimmed? I found the owner to be very helpful and responsive. I find the price to be very reasonable compared to other experiences with professionals in the area, where I paid a lot more and was very dissatisfied with the service. I will continue to use Golden Garden and to recommend them!"

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.

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—which the EPA describes as a "potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees." Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.

Noxious weeds can be poisonous or act as an irritant to humans, but not all are directly harmful. However, indirectly, noxious weeds also compete with native species, effectively affecting our local ecosystems of plants, pollinators, and other animals.
