"He was great to work with -- he came when he said he would, he answered questions promptly and courteously, and his team was superb -- very professional! They were willing to be flexible when we asked about installing a patio which was not in the original plan. Before we hired him, the owner, Rick Tillotson, came to our house to discuss what we wanted done in our yard.  We knew we wanted to replace the front walkway and to redesign the landscape in the front yard, but did not know how to proceed.  Rick had a vision for our front yard which we could never have imagined on our own. He was enthusiastic, had lots of good ideas, and ultimately cost about half of what another landscape designer quoted us. The work was done, as promised and on time -- even though we added on to the project as I mentioned.
 I would recommend Rick and Organics Lawn and Landscape without hesitation and in fact I already have.  Rick's work speaks for itself.  My yard was so wonderfully transformed that I literally had people stop to ask me who did the work.  One of my neighbors was so impressed with how great my yard looked after Rick's work was done that she hired him to do a complicated landscape design and installation. She is as thrilled with the results as I am with mine!

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Landscaping fabric can only help to prevent weed growth in the short term. It's not an ideal long-term solution because dirt will eventually make its way on top of it, causing weeds to sprout. These fabrics can also leave microplastics in the environment for many, many years, so pulling weeds using one of the methods in this guide as soon as you see them is a better long-term prevention strategy.

No, it's not really possible to completely prevent weed growth. Weeds are incredibly resilient—all they usually need is a tiny bit of dirt to sprout, so their eventual appearance is pretty much inevitable. However, you can definitely keep them at bay by getting rid of weeds as soon as you notice them. The longer you let them sit and grow roots, the more they'll spread.

There are a few things you should ask a weed service company before hiring to ensure you’re choosing the best professional for the job:

  • How often will you apply herbicides?

  • Do you include any spot treatments or manual weed removal in your pricing?

  • Do you offer pet-safe and kid-safe herbicides?

  • What other lawn services can you provide?

  • Do you offer any kind of guarantee for the work performed?

  • Are you properly licensed and fully insured?

  • Do you have any customer references I could speak with?

Herbicides containing a combination of the active chemical ingredients dicamba, fluroxpyr, and quinclorac are most effective at purging your turf of white clover. However, for small home lawns, organic prevention and control can be very effective methods for killing clover weeds and save you from using harmful pesticides that might damage your lawn.

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.
