"Pedro promptly met with me last Fall during the busy season of sprinkler winterization for existing customers. We reviewed my older irrigation system then discussed maintenance and upgrade options. He quickly grasped my needs, provided an affordable quote, and recommended that work best performed in the Spring. I also received two other quotes. I had Juarez Sprinkler perform the work in early May. Though material costs went up, Pedro honored the quoted price. He and assistant worked quickly and neatly, weaving through mature lawn and garden beds on a hilly landscape. They were able to accommodate the additional work I requested on-site, even making a quick trip to a parts supplier to fit with my older system. He told me to wait on replacing my controller to get more features - prices were high and my existing unit worked well enough."

"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!!"

"Jose was responsive, courteous, and efficient. We originally hired him for a yard cleanup but the job expanded to cleaning out a large bed of poison ivy and replacing 2 shrubs. Jose and crew not only did a great job but they cleaned up their work and took away some rocks and other debris. Jose also gave us referrals for other service providers, much appreciated. We will certainly hire him again."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Johnsongrass and crabgrass are invasive weeds that can overtake your lawn. Crabgrass is a low-growing grass most often seen in lawns, flower beds, and vegetable gardens. While you may find Johnsongrass growing in your lawn, it will also grow in pastures, crop fields, and the edge of the road. Johnsongrass is much coarser than crabgrass. If left alone, Johnsongrass can grow up to 8 feet tall. 

All herbicides come with risks, but you can control and mitigate risks by discussing your options with your weed service company before application. Some companies use milder or sustainable herbicides more times per season to control weeds rather than one to two herbicide sprayings annually. You can also ask your professional about pet-friendly and kid-friendly services. In most cases, though, you can wait a few days after the application for the herbicides to soak into the ground, at that point they shouldn’t pose a risk to you or your family.

If you spray a DIY vinegar solution that contains high salt, it can disrupt the soil's structure and make it difficult for plants to grow. That's why it's vital to avoid spraying vinegar solution on areas where you are trying to grow plants and flowers. When using a mix of vinegar and soap, some say you can plant a few days after the vinegar dries. 

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.

The best way to keep voles from tunneling in your yard is to keep grass trimmed and bushes cut back from the ground at least 5 inches. Cleaning up yard debris, wood chip piles, and brush piles can also help keep voles at bay. If you notice vole activity, you can also remove bird feeders since these are a ready source of food for the tunneling rodents.
