"After a huge sinkhole appeared in my front yard, I struggled to find someone capable of permanently fixing the problem. That was before I was introduced to Ken. He was immediately able to devise a plan to repair the damage and install a drainage system that permanently re-routed water flow. He and his team worked quickly over two days to clean the area, install the drain, add rock to the surrounding area, replant displaced plants and make the whole thing look amazing. All of this for a very reasonable cost. Ken is an absolute pleasure to work with, I plan on using his services again in the future and would recommend to everyone."

"Shane was amazing! He was thorough and really did a great job on the project - which was not easy! We had a lot of unexpected things happen - remodeling an older house and things that were not in Shane's control - and he handled each challenge professionally and reasonably! I really enjoyed working with him and will continue to use his services for other projects!"

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

It’s best to pull weeds when the soil is wet, as it’s much easier. Wet soil is much softer than dry soil, making it easier to pull the entire weed up by the root. Also, since the soil is wet, the roots will let go of the soil and slide up with less resistance. Be careful when working on your wet garden, though, as wet soil is easier to compact, which can harm your plants.

Dandelions, while hard to control and widespread across the country, are not typically categorized as noxious. Yellow starthistle, however, looks very similar to a dandelion and is highly damaging to local plants and invasive across the country.

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.

Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you’ll notice a big difference after one application. However, mosquitoes are likely to return if you don't reduce attractive standing water habitats. This usually takes four to eight weeks if it’s still prime mosquito season.

Some of the particular herbicides that work best to get rid of nut grass without killing the grass include Halosulfuron-methyl, mesotrione, sulfentrazone, and metsulfuron. A herbicide like glyphosate would kill nutgrass, but it will kill nearby plants, too.
