Q: Will mowing kill Johnsongrass?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/grass-cutting-tips-know-you-mow.htm">Mowing your grass</a> regularly, especially if you&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What herbicide is best for orchard grass control?

• <div><p>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&mdash;<a href="https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/glyphosate">which the EPA describes</a> as a &quot;potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees.&quot; Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.</p><p></p></div>

Q: Are there benefits of having quack grass in lawns?

• <div><p>Lawns with steep slopes can benefit from having quack grass. Quack grass's long roots and runners can help to prevent soil erosion on hillsides. Additionally, bird lovers may enjoy the fact that quack grass seeds are an attractive food choice for their avian friends.</p></div>

Q: Can I use herbicide to kill the roots of a neighbor’s tree?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not legal to intentionally damage a neighbor&rsquo;s tree. Even if the roots of a tree encroach into your yard, if you damage or kill a tree that belongs to your neighbor, you can be held liable for the damage in most cases. Since herbicides can spread through the tree, causing damage to the whole tree and not just the roots that are on your side of the property line, you shouldn&rsquo;t poison your neighbor&rsquo;s tree. The other downside to this method is that if the tree dies, it can fall onto your property and cause more damage, so herbicides are best avoided in this circumstance.</p></div>

Q: Will buffalo grass take over weeds?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass is not a dense grass, so weeds can grow between the buffalo grass plants. However, as long as you don&rsquo;t overwater your lawn, weeds have a hard time growing. If you do notice weeds, you can use granular herbicides that are safe for buffalo grass in early and late summer.</p></div>

Friendly owner, good service. My only negative is that appointments are not made in advance, they just send an invoice for services performed. They should have you agree to a service date and provide proof of service. Overall happy with a pest free home at a reasonable price.
