"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 and his 3-man crew worked hard for 9 solid hours tackling my mother’s extremely overgrown yard that she wouldn’t let us touch for a decade. They weeded over ten huge gardens and even planted some flowers in them before mulching. The bushes were so overgrown that her yard looked like a rainforest! We were all amazed at what miracles they performed. We used them to surprise my mother for her 85th birthday and she couldn’t believe how they were able to get the yard to look close to what it was years ago. She thanked them throughout the day for their hard work and professionalism. Jorge was right on time and gave me a quote the day I called him. I am going to use his company monthly to upkeep his beautiful work!!"

"We hired Thunder Landscaping for lawn service and their service was impeccable. They were on time, worked efficiently and were very kind and respectful to me and my husband. The lawn looks great and they even took the time to get some of the weeds that had been growing in the sidewalk that we'd had a hard time tackling. If you have questions regarding lawn care and lawn maintenance they're happy to help. Great value for the money!!! I would highly recommend them and will be hiring them again."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

Sealing pavers helps cut down on weed growth, but it won’t wipe it out entirely. What it does really well is harden the joint sand—especially if you’re using a sealant with polymer additives—so weeds have a much harder time breaking through. It also blocks airborne seeds from settling in the cracks and keeps debris from building up. This results in fewer weeds, easier maintenance, and a cleaner-looking surface. Just remember, sealing is a strong defense—not a one-and-done solution. Stay on top of sweeping, spot-treating, and resealing every few years to keep your weeds in check.

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.

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.

Vinegar is known to be a contact herbicide, which means it kills the foliage it comes in contact with. Because of the high acetic acid concentration, horticultural vinegar kills weeds and grass more effectively. However, keep in mind that high amounts and multiple applications can affect the soil by lowering the pH levels.
