"Kevin showed up the day we called to give us an estimate.  He was very forthcoming and honest, even told us what trees he "wouldn't worry about" had it been his property.  Gave us an estimate as well as a breakdown of what each part of the procedure would look like (both in cost, and on the property).
He quoted us a timeframe, and was able to arrive and do the work sooner than expected.  The work was very impressive, as was the pricing.  Couldn't be much happier.  His services were recommended to my by a co-worker, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an arborist.

"What an amazing experience! Ray paid attention to every detail and when he had a question he wasn't afraid to ask. My property was a wee bit out of control. He brought it back to enjoyable again. He trimmed trees and bushes as well. I recommend him to anyone and everyone! Rates are reasonable and Ray is a pleasure to work with."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

A spot herbicide for weed control is effective at killing crabgrass and not grass, but it depends on the type of herbicide. Always check the label to ensure that your herbicide is safe for grass but tough on crabgrass. Overall, spot treatment is ideal because it puts fewer herbicides into the soil, which can damage the soil. If you’re wanting a natural remedy to crabgrass that also won’t harm surrounding grass, you can also hand-remove crabgrass or even pour boiling water or 5% vinegar over crabgrass as a spot treatment.

Mowing a lawn will, unfortunately, not get rid of clover, and it may even encourage it to flourish. Let your lawn grow to a healthy height of over 3 inches and then set your mower blades no lower than this level. Higher grass will cut out the light that clover loves and discourage it from spreading.

The best way to prevent weeds is to use polymeric sand, which hardens and blocks weed growth when activated with water. If you're using regular sand, you'll need to refill and compact it more often. Keeping the surface clean and free of debris can also help prevent weed seeds from settling in the joints.

Vinegar cannot tell the difference between weeds and desired grass types; it kills everything it touches. Only use a vinegar or vinegar-based solution if you are relatively confident that you can navigate around the plants and grasses you want to keep. Also, don’t spray vinegar on a windy day, or it will blow onto other plants.

Like sugar, the common household staple baking soda has uses in the yard. Baking soda boosts your plants to resist pests, fungal growth, and more. So, baking soda is good for your plants in certain instances, but exercise caution, as using too much could kill your plants. It’s great for hunting for pesky weeds, but not great for tending to a sensitive garden.
