"We are thrilled with the job Manolo and his crew did for us. He did exactly what we asked him to do and also had some good suggestions. He did a Big clean up, pruned, weeded, mulched, cut the grass. He will be taking care of our lawn over ththe summer. I am recommending him to my friends who are in need of these services. The price was more than fair - reliable and professional. 10 stars from us."

"The company owner recommended that instead of grinding the tree stump he would dig it up. I am glad for his recommendation. I can plant a new tree in the same spot. The work was done promptly and they cleaned up the area. The price was right."

"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."

"Anthony and his co-worker showed up, and did a GREAT JOB ! Cleaned up me front and backyard lawns and weeded out the flower beds along the side of the house. They are very professional and because of SOCIAL Distancing he talked with me through the whole process of what he was doing so I could see for myself ! The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finishedthe project early and were willing to reschedule the final walkthrough multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Final project turned out great!""

"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

Glyphosate and other non-selective herbicides can kill orchard grass, but they will also kill the surrounding plants. Also, not all areas allow the use of glyphosate due to its environmental impact—which the EPA describes as a "potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees." Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.

No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.

Technically, dandelions aren’t bad for your lawn, and they don’t directly kill grass. In fact, they appear in areas that are nutrient-deprived, and their long taproots can loosen the soil and bring nutrients closer to the surface. 

However, dandelions do spread quickly, and they can take over your lawn, eventually crowding out grass. This is why a healthy lawn is the best defense against dandelions.

Yes, you can typically combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments. However, follow the specific product's instructions and consider the compatibility of treatments. In most cases, liquid aeration can complement fertilization, overseeding, or weed control programs. Combining treatments strategically can address multiple aspects of your lawn's health and appearance simultaneously. Always read and adhere to the guidelines provided by the product manufacturers to ensure safe and effective application.

Weeds may grow back when pulled out if the root is not completely removed. Invasive weeds can regrow from just a small portion of remaining root, so using a weed-pulling tool can help ensure you remove the entire root. Weeds may grow back faster if roots aren’t fully removed, and incomplete removal could cause them to spread as well.
