"Ramiro busts his tail for you and has no problem putting in a dozen hours to get the job done. Prices are fair and he is as honest as they come in this business. If he cannot complete a job he will be back. If he doesn't feel something is in his specialty, he will not do the work and won't take advantage. This guy is like that one honest mechanic you find by accident and never give up. Highly recommend over the larger landscaping companies."

"Excellent! Brandon gave me a very fair and timely quote and his team did a great job. If I could give 10 stars, I would ! Brandon was on site daily and very responsive to my suggestions/ minor alterations in placement of stones etc. His crew was punctual, polite finished on time and cleaned up thoroughly . They went above and beyond in trimming a few overhanging branches, getting every last weed out, suggesting how to place the last 4 boulders esthetically in my flower beds and moved / stored some extra sand from beach area for future use. Brandon’s quote was identical to another I had taken, with a few bonus boulders and a small discount at my request. I would definitely use them again and recommend to neighbors."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

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.

Landscaping fabric can only help to prevent weed growth in the short term. It's not an ideal long-term solution because dirt will eventually make its way on top of it, causing weeds to sprout. These fabrics can also leave microplastics in the environment for many, many years, so pulling weeds using one of the methods in this guide as soon as you see them is a better long-term prevention strategy.

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.

Pulling weeds can spread weed seeds and disturb the soil, leading to seed germination. Pulling weeds can also trigger growth in weeds that reproduce through their root systems—disturbing the roots without fully removing them may cause more weeds to grow from the roots.
