Get matched with top weed maintenance pros in Troutman, NC

The safest method to avoid killing your turf grass is hand pulling Johnsongrass. You can also apply vinegar for a safer herbicide, but it will still burn your lawn if it gets on it.

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.

Choosing fertilizers: slow-release for steady nutrients, organic for eco-friendliness, or specific blends for soil deficiencies or grass types.

There are a few things you should ask a weed service company before hiring to ensure you’re choosing the best professional for the job:

• How often will you apply herbicides?

• Do you include any spot treatments or manual weed removal in your pricing?

• Do you offer pet-safe and kid-safe herbicides?

• What other lawn services can you provide?

• Do you offer any kind of guarantee for the work performed?

• Are you properly licensed and fully insured?

• Do you have any customer references I could speak with?
