"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."

"I hired D&G Landscape & Masonry to do a major spring cleanup of my father‘s property. It had been several years since the property had been maintained and D&G arrived early yesterday morning with a crew and I can’t thank them enough for the amazing job they did. Everything was so overgrown that it was overwhelming to even begin to think how we would get everything removed. The crew went to work and removed a truckload or more of weeds, Japanese bamboo, and every other kind of weed you could imagine. The place has been completely transformed. They also removed the front lawn and put soil down and seeded it and did an amazing job. Every weed on the property was removed. They worked so hard and did such an amazing job. I cannot thank them enough."

"I contacted John's Landscape Services Inc because I was having trouble keeping anything alive in the front of my house and needed a design for the backyard.  The design service was $500, which is deducted from the cost of the installation (if you decide to use them).  I think this is very reasonable.  The designer and I were able to communicate through email and finalize the design.  We completed the design at the end of the summer 2014, but I could not get my act together in time to install in the fall and by the time I did, they told me that there were some plants, but they did not like the size of them, so we decided to wait until the spring.  I appreciated that.
In the spring of 2015 we started the conversation to complete the install of just the front of the house design.  The design uses a lot of boulders and succulents, since the front of my house is exposed to full sun all day long. The crew arrived early in the morning and started working right away and were complete by the time I came home from work.  The end result was wonderful. 
I did have a few concerns (which were addressed), which is why I did not give As across the board:
1) Part of the design included 2 existing hibiscus plants that I have had for 10 years, I was told that they did not make it through the winter (which is understandable, since we had such a crazy winter).  A Rose of Sharon was used to replace the 2 hibiscus plants, my disappointment arises from not being warned ahead of time that this happened.  I think it would have been nice to receive a call to let me know.
2) I did not receive any communication that the job was complete.  I emailed them to ask if all the work was complete. A quick call would have been nice, a simple courtesy.
3) Within the week of the install, a bunch of grass started to come up through the rocks.  This was disappointing, since I had paid so much and the grass came up so soon afterwards.  I would have understood if it came up a few weeks later.  This was addressed with a complementary weeding, in fact the weeding even included weeding my planters. The planters were not part of the design.  That was unexpected and very nice of them to do.
One of the plants that they planted did die, but they promptly replaced it.
Overall, it was a good experience.

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

The main problem with crabgrass is that it produces thousands of seeds that can remain dormant until the following season. To get rid of it, you have to remove existing plants before they have a chance to spread seeds and stop old seeds from germinating.

Like sugar, the common household staple baking soda has uses in the yard. Baking soda boosts your plants to resist pests, fungal growth, and more. So, baking soda is good for your plants in certain instances, but exercise caution, as using too much could kill your plants. It’s great for hunting for pesky weeds, but not great for tending to a sensitive garden.

Crabgrass is very resilient, and homemade solutions like vinegar may not be strong enough. Typically, hand-weeding is the most effective option that doesn’t involve harmful chemicals. You can use corn-meal gluten as a natural pre-emergent herbicide, but it’s not as effective as chemical weed killers.

Due to its slow growth, Bahia grass does not generally take over weeds. In fact, the opposite can be true. Young Bahia grass is susceptible to being taken over by weeds. 

Likewise, in the cool season, Bahia grass goes into a dormant state that can allow weeds that thrive in early spring to get the upper hand. If you want to prevent weeds from taking over your yard, remove them by hand or apply a Bahia grass-friendly pre-emergent herbicide to your lawn before weeds have a chance to appear.

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.
