"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!!"

"Elmer came exactly on time to give me a quote. He gave me a good price which I readily accepted. He then came back, hours later ( as promised ) to do the work himself with his assistant. They did a very good job at mowing my lawn, pulling out really big weeds, and trimming the overgrown bush. They also put back whatever weed cover i put at the edge of my backyard. Really clean work. He ll be back to spray non toxic weed killer around the yard."

"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

There are organic herbicide options that will kill grass but not flowers, including white vinegar or a dish soap solution. Commercial selective herbicides can also target grass over other plants, but read the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your garden. Herbicides that kill grass but not flowers usually include ingredients like clethodim and sethoxydim. Otherwise, your best bet will be to weed by hand.

Pulling weeds once per month is typically often enough to keep most weeds at bay. But in general, it's best to pull weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent deep root growth and slow their spread. To make it easier, plan your weed pulling after rain or after the sprinklers run so the soil will be nice and wet and the weeds will be easier to pull. If you notice moss accompanying weeds, make a plan to remove the moss immediately to prevent damage.

Typically seasonally, but tailored schedules depend on local conditions and plant types.

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.

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.
