"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

Vinegar is known to be a contact herbicide, which means it kills the foliage it comes in contact with. Because of the high acetic acid concentration, horticultural vinegar kills weeds and grass more effectively. However, keep in mind that high amounts and multiple applications can affect the soil by lowering the pH levels.

There are many options to eradicate weeds right down to the roots. Vinegar works, but it takes a week or so to do its thing, and the same goes for many commercially available herbicides. Boiled water is a quick way to kill off roots, or you can pull up weeds at the root.

There are organic herbicide options that will kill grass but not flowers, including white vinegar or a dish soap solution. Commercial selective herbicides can also target grass over other plants, but read the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your garden. Herbicides that kill grass but not flowers usually include ingredients like clethodim and sethoxydim. Otherwise, your best bet will be to weed by hand.

The best time to hire a weed service company is in the early spring. This allows them to apply a pre-emergent weed killer that stops weeds from taking root, making maintenance for the rest of the season much easier. Following the initial spring application, a monthly service through the summer and early fall is a good idea for ongoing weed control. These regular treatments, combined with manual removal or spot treatment, should be sufficient to maintain a weed-free yard. Alternatively, you can hire a professional in the fall for the following year, as some companies may offer better rates on contracts signed before the busy spring season.

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.
