Q: How often should I remove weeds?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-of-moss-on-driveway.htm">remove the moss</a> immediately to prevent damage.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time of year to tackle thorn bush removal?

• <div><p>The optimal time to tackle thorn bush removal is during late fall or winter when the bushes are dormant. The plants are less active during this time of year, making it easier to prune and remove. Additionally, you can more easily see what you&rsquo;re cutting since there are no leaves.</p></div>

Q: Is foxtail grass invasive?

• <div><p>Foxtail grass is not native to the United States, so it is considered an invasive plant. Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-invasive-plants-keep-out-your-yard.htm">common invasive plant species</a> that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for leaves to decompose?

• <div><p>The time it takes for leaves to decompose can range from six months to three years. Key factors influencing the decomposition rate include water, sunlight, and heat, so local weather conditions play a significant role. Decomposition will take longer for thick, matted layers of leaves. To speed up the process, you can mulch the leaves, as smaller pieces break down faster. Spreading large piles into thinner layers to increase exposure to sunlight and water also helps accelerate decomposition.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my lawn mower can handle leaves?

• <div><p>A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn&rsquo;t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that&rsquo;s a good sign it&rsquo;s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.</p></div>

Beau and his team did a wonderful job! They were able to safely relocate the bats from our attic, then completely sealed and â bat proofedâ the entire attic. Then they removed all of the old, damaged insulation and replaced it with new blown-in insulation. Couldnâ t have ask for better!
