"By far THE BEST landscapers in the area. Fred and his crew new exactly what to do. My yard was over grown with weeds, tall grass, debree.. etc... I was overwhelmed with the prices many had quoted me. Then I received a call from Fred and he took care of everything. Not only did and his men tend the yard he trimmed my hedges at no cost. The following week we had been talking about cutting down 9 trees I had in my yard as well as my pergola. he gave me such reasonable prices for everything and while I was at work received a call that he had indeed came and tended to the yard. I was so pleased but could pay all the money up front. for I had thought we would do this in steps. Fred was so generous and actually allowed me to pay him the following week. I He is also an electrician and stripped the wires providing lights in my pergola so I didn't have to call the light company. My yard had never looked better. I can wait until spring time so I can began my garden with the help of Fred and his crew. I HIGHLY recommend working with him. He's not only reasonable with his prices he's generous and really caring. I know if ever I or a friend needs work done I'm going to call them. Thank you again Fred my yard isn't where I want it but I know with your help its going to be great.!!! Oh and they also lay down cement for fire pits which is my next project!!"

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Buffalo grass is not a dense grass, so weeds can grow between the buffalo grass plants. However, as long as you don’t overwater your lawn, weeds have a hard time growing. If you do notice weeds, you can use granular herbicides that are safe for buffalo grass in early and late summer.

You should add 1 to 4 inches of mulch, depending on your garden type and needs. Keep in mind that no amount of mulch can completely prevent weeds, but a heavier coverage (closer to 4 inches) can suppress weeds enough that you are only seeing them sprout every few weeks. Finer mulch prevents weeds more effectively than large mulch, so if you’re using mulched leaves or shredded bark, 1 to 2 inches will likely suffice, while 3 to 4 inches is best for larger mulch, like bark chips or straw.

Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise. 

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.

Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.

Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.
