Customers say: Quick response

"The good: Jeff responded to my Angi's request within a day. We agreed on a time for him to come to my home to give me an estimate. He came out on time and gave me an estimate of $1175 to weed the landscaped parts of my property and spread 10 cubic yards of pine bark mulch. I've been mulching my own yard for the last decade plus, so I know exactly how much mulch costs. The quoted price was a little higher than what I was anticipating, but not unreasonably high. We scheduled a date for them to come out. The crew arrived on time and worked throughout their 3+ hours here. The not-so-good: Jeff's method of weeding is not to pull up weeds by their roots, but to mow them with his edger. I was not expecting this. So all the weeds are just going to grow back. Jeff also used his edger to mow an area in the backyard that was mostly ground-cover plantings and strawberry plants that we just beginning to form berries. There were also some weeds mixed in that area - I was expecting him to pull up the weeds, but instead he blitzed everything and covered the entire area with mulch. So now we have no strawberries and no ground cover in that area of the yard. I was upset about this and spoke to Jeff. He said that he thought the entire area was weeds and basically blamed me for not pointing out the strawberries and ground-cover plants when he came out to give me an estimate. He is right that I did not point these out at this time, but neither did I point out any of the other plantings that I did not wish to be destroyed (I have a fairly big yard with lots of plantings). The second issue that came up, which I was not expecting, is that about halfway through their time working, Jeff told me that he'd need 15 cubic yards of mulch to finish. As I said, I have been mulching my myself yard for the decade plus I've been living here, and I've always needed between 9 to 11 cubic yards (the number decreases as the ground-cover plantings spread). Last year I ordered and spread 9 cubic yards, but I actually needed 1 cubic yard more. I don't know why Jeff needed 50% more mulch. That increased the total price to $1400."

"What can I say that 5 stars can't? I had been looking for a landscaper for a home that I purchased with a badly neglected front lawn (I use the word "lawn" very loosely, as by this point it was a collection of weeds with a blade of grass here and there). I wanted to remove the grass and put a mix of flowers, edible plants, and black mulch. I interviewed about 5 landscapers all who seemed very capable. I chose Jeff because he was personable and obviously very passionate about what he does.. Jeff and Dave were super easy to work with. I had a few plants that I liked and they were able to tell me what would work best and why. They paired the plants on my list with other plants that really made everything pop visually when placed together. In the end, they designed a beautiful space that I couldn't have imagined myself. All while keeping to my requirements of having a low-maintenance and drought resistant yard. They installed sod in my barren yard-new build. Looks amazing. All the grass caught and we have a lush carpet yard. I now have a beautiful space that has flowers and plenty of edible additions. I sometimes catch myself staring out the window just admiring the landscaping. My neighbors all love it as well. I definitely recommend Jeff and team"

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s best to pull weeds when the soil is wet, as it’s much easier. Wet soil is much softer than dry soil, making it easier to pull the entire weed up by the root. Also, since the soil is wet, the roots will let go of the soil and slide up with less resistance. Be careful when working on your wet garden, though, as wet soil is easier to compact, which can harm your plants.

If you have a lot of tree roots in your yard or have experienced issues in the past, you should use tree root killer every six months to prevent roots from infiltrating your pipes. If you have an active invasion and aren’t seeing results, check the instructions on the bottle to see how often you can use it in a short period of mine.

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 fastest ways to kill weeds and unwanted grass include burning them, pouring boiling water on them, or pulling them out by hand, as these methods work almost instantaneously. For a quick-acting solution that works within a few hours, you can use a commercial-grade herbicide like glyphosate or a DIY vinegar, salt, and dish soap mixture. While effective, be aware that commercial herbicides introduce chemicals into your lawn. The slowest method for killing weeds is to starve them of sunlight and nutrients using mulch or fabric covers.
