"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

Technically, dandelions aren’t bad for your lawn, and they don’t directly kill grass. In fact, they appear in areas that are nutrient-deprived, and their long taproots can loosen the soil and bring nutrients closer to the surface. 

However, dandelions do spread quickly, and they can take over your lawn, eventually crowding out grass. This is why a healthy lawn is the best defense against dandelions.

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.

The best time to fight crabgrass with pre-emergent herbicide is when forsythias tend to bloom. In the mid-Atlantic region, this is usually between April and May. Even if you're late to apply the herbicide, it’s effective as long as the crabgrass plant has fewer than five leaves.

Due to its slow growth, Bahia grass does not generally take over weeds. In fact, the opposite can be true. Young Bahia grass is susceptible to being taken over by weeds. 

Likewise, in the cool season, Bahia grass goes into a dormant state that can allow weeds that thrive in early spring to get the upper hand. If you want to prevent weeds from taking over your yard, remove them by hand or apply a Bahia grass-friendly pre-emergent herbicide to your lawn before weeds have a chance to appear.

If you have a lot of tree roots in your yard or have experienced issues in the past, you should use tree root killer every six months to prevent roots from infiltrating your pipes. If you have an active invasion and aren’t seeing results, check the instructions on the bottle to see how often you can use it in a short period of mine.
