"Elite think they know more about what the homeowner wants than the homeowner themselves. They are rigid and inflexible. Even with 40 days of no rain, they want to show up and mow the lawn. They do an excellent job with cutting the lawn but they want to do everything their way. The billing is problematic. They send it to a very busy inbox that sees a lot of junk mail. It is difficult to sort out. I would prefer being notified by text message. After they did their fall clean-up, my koi pond was full of leaves that I had to dredge out. I am just going to trade in my old lawn tractor in the spring rather than having to deal with lawn services."

"We needed the bushes pruned. They did it. We needed the undergrowth under the bushes weeded. They did it. And we needed mulch put down and they did that too. They came when they said they would come. They got done when they said they would get done. They were easy to communicate with and also pleasant and nice. Our house looks so much better. And they were reasonable and honest. All these attributes are hard to find these days. Five Stars and would recommend to others. 👍🏻"

Weed Services FAQs, answered by experts

Mowing your grass regularly, especially if you’re mowing close to the ground, can help kill Johnsongrass. Frequent mowing helps limit the spread of Johnsongrass and can even deplete carbohydrate reserves in rhizomes over time. The more time you leave in between mowing, the more likely Johnsongrass is to regrow and take over your lawn. 

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.

Some of the particular herbicides that work best to get rid of nut grass without killing the grass include Halosulfuron-methyl, mesotrione, sulfentrazone, and metsulfuron. A herbicide like glyphosate would kill nutgrass, but it will kill nearby plants, too.

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?

Adding vinegar to your lawn increases the acidity of the area, which can kill quack grass present above the ground. However, putting vinegar in your yard will also kill the grass. Unfortunately, the below-ground quack grass rhizomes remain very much alive in the presence of vinegar and will soon sprout again.
