"I live out of state and in August 2014 I hired this business to do weed removal and cleanup at my mother's house in Champaign.  When I visited over the Christmas holiday I was finally able to see the result of the work performed and I do not feel it was a good value for the money.  Initially purchased $85 for four hours yard clean up plus debris disposal on August 13.  Contacted Noah and explained I wanted additional work done to clear the entire front yard of weeds and lay down mulch to slow down the weeds growing back.  Estimate for materials (mulch and weed barrier) was given as $350 to cover main front yard and the smaller area between the street and sidewalk.  Total estimated hours of work came to 10 hoursfor an additional $150 over the original $85.  After this was agreed, my mother decided that she did not want the main part of the yard cleared of weeds and instead wanted some small trees at the side of the house removed and to just have the weeds cut down to 6 inches high in the main part of the yard.
The final work done included that the portion of the yard between sidewalk and street was cleared of weeds and covered with underlayment and mulch.  I measured and it is about 430 square feet.  This is less than 1/3 of the total front yard, yet the final bill had a materials charge of $350 which was the same as the original estimate of material to cover the entire front yard.  This made no sense to me but I was told by Noah that the man who did the original estimate just didn't do a good job.  So either they don't know how to do accurate estimates or they overcharge for material.  I feel I got overcharged.  At $50 a cubic yard for mulch, 4 cubic yards should have been enough to cover the 430 square feet to a depth of 3 inches and that would be $200 for the mulch, so the 430 quare feet of uderlayment comes in at $150.  This seems very overpriced to me.  The final invoice didn't say how many cubic yards of mulch they applied and in the end I get the sense they have no idea how much they actually used.
The main part of the yard was essentially untouched.  Nothing at all was done to make it look neater.  No downed limbs removed and the vegetation/weeds was about 5 feet high rather than six iches.
In addition to the weed removal and mulching described above, two dead tree limbs were removed ($25 each) and some amount of work was done to trim back some bushes which were growing out over the sidewalk.  Trees at the side of the house were not removed as my mother had requested.
According to the invoice, all this work took 10 hours, exactly matching the original estimate.  I wish I had been there to supervise because to me the end result did not look like 10 hours worth of work had been performed.
Finally, I did not feel very satisfied with my interactions with this business.  After the original contact with Noah, almost all communication was with one of his employees, an older man who was rather difficult to talk with on the phone.  He seemed to have a hard time understanding my description of the work I wanted done, and I in turn found his explanations to be unclear and hard to follow.  In the end I feel it would have been better to have only been communicating with Noah, the owner.  Also, the original contact was in August, but no work was even started until midway through October.  Part of the delay was due to my mother's decision to change the nature of the work to be done, but even so for nothing to done for over 6 weeks seemed excessively slow.  Various reasons were given: it rained, so we had to wait, the employee went on vacation so we had to wait until he got back, etc.  In the end it's too bad I didn't just realize that things were not going well and just cancel the whole thing.  For a total cost of $585 I do not feel I got good value for my money based on the end result.
On the plus side, at least the area covered with mulch was done OK.  I suppose the work actually done was of decent enough quality, but the price point seems much too high.

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Typically seasonally, but tailored schedules depend on local conditions and plant types.

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.

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.

There are organic herbicide options that will kill grass but not flowers, including white vinegar or a dish soap solution. Commercial selective herbicides can also target grass over other plants, but read the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your garden. Herbicides that kill grass but not flowers usually include ingredients like clethodim and sethoxydim. Otherwise, your best bet will be to weed by hand.

Yes, weeds will grow through pea gravel but you can prevent this during the installation process. Install a weed barrier underneath pea gravel and swap it out every three years to keep weeds at bay.
