"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."

"My wife and I couldn’t be happier with what the landscaping the team did. It was a lot and they were done in two days, and went above and beyond our expectations. Rare for many landscapers in my experience. They made recommendations I didn’t think about that didn’t impact fees that much and made a huge impact on the project’s result. Fernando was experienced, fair and pleasant to work with, as was his team. Hard workers and great at what they do. So good, my neighbor watched their work and hired them for a project, and he’s a seasoned GC who is critical of work teams. Big thumbs up for MC!"

"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."

"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.

"Rick came to my home and gave me a price to clean up my yard, which I accepted. I thought he would send out his workers maybe next week, but he sent them the same day. Mark and Robert did an excellent job cleaning up wet leaves and pulling weeds all around my house. This was a TOP NOTCH job....Many thanks!!"

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

It usually takes between two weeks and a month for weeds to fully die off after you spray them with herbicide, but they will start to wilt within the first week. Different weed sprays produce different results, with some working more quickly and effectively than others. Similarly, some weeds are killed more easily than others. Consult your weed removal pro for an exact timeline based on their weed removal method.

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.

Weed control applications usually cost around $100 each for a standard-size yard, and most professionals charge between $30 and $60 per hour for manual weed removal. Your total is affected most by the size of the weeded area. Some weed service companies offer weed control treatments, selective herbicide spraying, and manual removal and upkeep as part of a package, costing around $600 annually. You might pay less if you hire the same company for other lawn services, like flower bed upkeep, aeration, overseeding, and pesticide application.

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.
