"In August as usual, Ronaldo's pruning crew did an excellent job of pruning. They do not just cut the top off the bushes but actually shape them. They also do a great job of edging and they make sure there is not too much mulch piled up around the trees. They are experts in weeding as thee do not just weed wack the weeds but actually pull them out one by one. When they were finished, there was not one weed left in the yard. This year they also got rid of some poison ivy."

"Jorge responded immediately to my request for an estimate on lots of weed removal and several shrubs to be removed. His estimate was reasonable and we decided to go ahead with the project. With the amount of weeds we had I thought that the job would take at least 1/2 day. Jorge arrived with a two man crew and they tackled the job. Within two hours all weeds and several shrubs had been removed and everything was cleaned up and taken away. Jorge and his guys were very polite and did not waste any time in doing this job! We were quite happy with the result and are going to use Jorge for more projects. I am so glad that I went with my gut feeling and hired Jorge to take care of a job that I thought was overwhelming."

"Exceptional service! I purchased a property that was so overgrown you could barely see the house (in fact they found a claw foot tub hidden under the bushes!). Jose and his crew came in, cut down trees, cleared out the landscaping, moved rocks, removed rubish, and made the property come back to life. They went above and beyond my expectation -- all at a fraction of the cost of other companies. Professionalism, integrity, thoughtfulness, clear communication and promptness. They come when they say, run an efficient crew and clean up afterwards.They are wonderful! My neighbors want them for their landscaping needs - I will definitely use them again and again! Thank you for an amazing job."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Vinegar cannot tell the difference between weeds and desired grass types; it kills everything it touches. Only use a vinegar or vinegar-based solution if you are relatively confident that you can navigate around the plants and grasses you want to keep. Also, don’t spray vinegar on a windy day, or it will blow onto other plants.

Each type of weed comes with its own control methods, but stopping the seed spread is the first step. Grazing, mowing, and hand pulling can slow the invasion. In some cases, selective herbicide is necessary to stop a persistent weed from overtaking an area.

Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.

Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.

Weeds can grow through rubber mulch, but it depends on if you removed all the weeds in your garden beforehand. Weeds already in the soil can grow even when using rubber mulch. However, that doesn’t mean that your garden will be littered with rubber and weeds, but it does mean that the occasional weed might still pop up. Another way you can increase your weed suppression is by using landscape fabric as a second layer. 

If possible, you should prioritize pulling weeds up by hand. However, be sure not to use your bare hands, as many weeds are sharp or otherwise irritating when they come in contact with skin. Always don thick, protective gardening gloves to protect your hands when you pull up weeds.
