"Servicios Martínez did a great job for me. I had 30+ thirty gallon lawn bags full of leaves, pine cones and other yard waste after an extensive clean-up. Through HomeAdvisor/Angi I contacted Servicios Martínez and later that same day they took all my yard waste away. They were thorough, quick and thoughtful. Definitely I would use Servicios Martínez again. Donald, Maplewood NJ"

"We were super impressed with the quality of work, professionalism, and responsiveness of Angel and his team. Even with the COVID-19 outbreak going on, Angel was able to make an initial visit to survey our property and discuss projects within a day of sending an inquiry, and was professional about maintaining social distancing throughout the discussion. We had a quote in just over a week (even with the busy season just picking up) and were able to get started on the projects after a bout of rainstorms passed. Angel's team worked swiftly and professionally, and did a beautiful job helping us clean up our property. We had several garden beds that had not ever been properly edged and had fallen to disrepair before we moved in last summer, and they now look better than we could've imagined. They were able to clean out weeds and dead/dying plants, move a few plants around to rebalance the garden, trim bushes back, install a butterfly garden, lay new mulch, even out and fill divits in throughout the yard, and install a small fence -- all within 2-3 days of work. As noted, Angel runs a really professional team, and did an amazing job sourcing high quality plants, mulch, and fencing at very reasonable and competitive prices. Angel is highly communicative throughout in terms of giving heads up about the project status (especially when things change, like having to push our start date due to inclement weather). After having some bad experiences in the past with contract yard work, I have had my faith restored by Angel's team and would happily work with them again, and encourage anyone looking for high quality, fast, professional work to give them a call."

"Kevin has been very quick to respond and very very communicative. We brought Island Roots in to mow and maintain our lawn and he has let us know when he is planning on coming, what he will be doing and checked in to be sure we liked the results. Very meticulous and detailed, Kevin is also very friendly and professional when speaking with us. I can highly recommend this start up business."

"It went really well! He was courteous, straightforward, and efficient while cleaning. The price was fair and he had all the equipment and supplies ready, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. The weather was bad, so I gave him a tip for the trouble, which he really appreciated."

"Great experience from start to finish. The crew was on time, easy to work with, and did a really nice job on my concrete repair. Everything turned out exactly how I wanted, and they left the area clean when they were done. I’m very satisfied with the results and would definitely use them again."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Very carefully. You should be cautious when using any of the above methods, as any one of them could lead to you accidentally killing desired grasses and plants. However, there are selective herbicides that can target certain plants over others. Look for a product that only affects the type of weeds you want to eliminate and spares the plants you want to keep.

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.

Glyphosate and other non-selective herbicides can kill orchard grass, but they will also kill the surrounding plants. Also, not all areas allow the use of glyphosate due to its environmental impact—which the EPA describes as a "potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees." Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.

The most effective way to eliminate quack grass without killing the grass nearby is to overseed the area, keep the seed wet until it grows, mow often, and regularly fertilize the area to promote healthy grass that can choke out the invasive weed.

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
