"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.

"Andy and his crew turned our backyard nightmare into a garden paradise. I highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.
Our new home came with a built-in water feature in the yard. The previous owners had let it fall into disrepair, but we could tell that it was beautiful at one point. We wanted a professional to inspect it and, if needed, to make necessary repairs.
We found Andy on Angie's List and contacted him because of his unique specialization in water features. We were very happy we did so: Andy is an expert at what he does and is passionate about the design and installation of water features. This came across clearly from our first conversations and carried through into the quality of the final product.
When Andy came out to inspect our fountain we were very disappointed to learn the water feature was in such disrepair that it was flooding our yard (a known issue whose cause we were having trouble pin-pointing). It also had a standing pool of water at its base that was beginning to breed mosquitoes and other forms of wildlife. Further, the previous owners had chosen a very invasive form of decorative grass that had pierced the water barrier and taken over a large portion of the surrounding yard..
Andy worked with us to come up with a solution that fit our budget while still allowing us to keep a water feature in our yard. He was able to do this by re-using many of the existing materials to save cost (e.g. the water pump, water lines, and a large portion of the rocks). I have not encountered many contractors that were willing to do this over the years, and I have to say I truly respect Andy for being so flexible with us.
To make matters better, he stuck with the budget and delivered us a BEAUTIFUL waterfall all within our negotiated time frame. Over two days, Ponds to Patios removed our old water feature, tilled the earth to remove the root system of the invasive grass, installed a new water barrier, and built us a new fountain.
Andy guaranteed his craftsmanship for a year. Given the quality of the final product, though, I doubt we'll need to call him for service.
I know Ponds-to-patios is not the biggest outfit around the area, but they are definitely dedicated to what they do. They are a passionate and honest business that will work hard to earn your trust and business.

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Buffalo grass does not turn green as early in the spring as some other grasses. If you have a heavily shaded yard, buffalo grass may not receive enough sunlight to thrive. It’s not as dense as some other grass varieties, so it may not feel as comfortable on bare feet.

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.

Weed control applications usually cost around $100 each for a standard-size yard, and most professionals charge between $30 and $60 per hour for manual weed removal. Your total is affected most by the size of the weeded area. Some weed service companies offer weed control treatments, selective herbicide spraying, and manual removal and upkeep as part of a package, costing around $600 annually. You might pay less if you hire the same company for other lawn services, like flower bed upkeep, aeration, overseeding, and pesticide application.

The fastest ways to kill weeds and unwanted grass include burning them, pouring boiling water on them, or pulling them out by hand, as these methods work almost instantaneously. For a quick-acting solution that works within a few hours, you can use a commercial-grade herbicide like glyphosate or a DIY vinegar, salt, and dish soap mixture. While effective, be aware that commercial herbicides introduce chemicals into your lawn. The slowest method for killing weeds is to starve them of sunlight and nutrients using mulch or fabric covers.

Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your lawn maintenance checklist.
