Danny was very efficient and told me a quote on removing the overgrown weeds and small trees for the original quote. He also mows for me every week. My yard looks so much better when he does it, than when I did it! He is definitely a good hire! Try him! You won't be disappointed!

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

DIY solutions often lack precise formulation and distribution, potentially leading to lawn damage. Professional treatments optimize results with targeted applications.

Buffalo grass is not a dense grass, so weeds can grow between the buffalo grass plants. However, as long as you don’t overwater your lawn, weeds have a hard time growing. If you do notice weeds, you can use granular herbicides that are safe for buffalo grass in early and late summer.

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.

There are a few things you should ask a weed service company before hiring to ensure you’re choosing the best professional for the job:

How often will you apply herbicides?
Do you include any spot treatments or manual weed removal in your pricing?
Do you offer pet-safe and kid-safe herbicides?
What other lawn services can you provide?
Do you offer any kind of guarantee for the work performed?
Are you properly licensed and fully insured?
Do you have any customer references I could speak with?

Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow.
