"We have used Mr. Yard for more than 10 years. Victor and his crew have consistently done an excellent job with lawn maintenance, weeding, mulching, leaf removal, spring and fall cleanups and brush clearing. Victor put in a drain in the backyard and created a beautiful gravel path for us in the woods. In addition, Victor's wife, Mirtha, does housecleaning and always does a thorough and meticulous job. We have found Victor and Mirtha and their employees to be reliable, trustworthy, and very pleasant to deal with. We highly recommend them!"

"Overall rating 5...not 4.5! (Not sure why I was unable to rate above 4.5 on this site). They did such a great job on our first tree.....we asked them to schedule a trim on a second tree and they were able to provide service while they were here. So pleased with their work. Highly recommend. The world would be a better place if more businesses provided the quality of work that they do at affordable prices. Thank you to the three fine young professionals from Harmony Tree service!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Upon my request on Home Advisor, I was connected to Blas the owner. He made himself available in a short period of time to provide estimate. He was on time, very pleasant, and gave me a no nonsense and fair estimate. He was again on time to perform the service, and went above and beyond my expectations. This level of service, and professionalism is certainly appreciated."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

The best time to fight crabgrass with pre-emergent herbicide is when forsythias tend to bloom. In the mid-Atlantic region, this is usually between April and May. Even if you're late to apply the herbicide, it’s effective as long as the crabgrass plant has fewer than five leaves.

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.

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.

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.
