"I started a few years ago with Escutia’s Lawn Care, including mowing, adding grass to a compost bin, blowing and collecting leaves . He does much more. I have had him deliver and place compost and work it into the soil. I’ve had him clean up yard waste and remove it. I also have him tend to weeds in my garden. He turns my water on and off, and does sprinkler repair on my underground watering system. He also replaced timer for the watering system. I also had him find someone to replace a section of my fence. Basically Escutia’s will do pretty much any lawn/landscape project/repair that you would want to do! Escutia’s is reliable and trustworthy. I would recommend Vilmer to anyone needing his services."

"Great job! The work Dan did was at a rental house so I was not able to be there when he did the work so he sent me pictures of the completed project as he went along. I especially appreciated the fairness of his pricing. I already have him set up to do another project for me this fall."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

The best time to hire a weed service company is in the early spring. This allows them to apply a pre-emergent weed killer that stops weeds from taking root, making maintenance for the rest of the season much easier. Following the initial spring application, a monthly service through the summer and early fall is a good idea for ongoing weed control. These regular treatments, combined with manual removal or spot treatment, should be sufficient to maintain a weed-free yard. Alternatively, you can hire a professional in the fall for the following year, as some companies may offer better rates on contracts signed before the busy spring season.

Each season’s climate influences approaches needed for effective suppression.

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.

A spot herbicide for weed control is effective at killing crabgrass and not grass, but it depends on the type of herbicide. Always check the label to ensure that your herbicide is safe for grass but tough on crabgrass. Overall, spot treatment is ideal because it puts fewer herbicides into the soil, which can damage the soil. If you’re wanting a natural remedy to crabgrass that also won’t harm surrounding grass, you can also hand-remove crabgrass or even pour boiling water or 5% vinegar over crabgrass as a spot treatment.
