Q: What tool is used to remove unwanted grass?

• <div><p>Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow. </p></div>

Q: Is a one-time spray enough?

• <div><p>Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you&rsquo;ll notice a big difference after one application. However, mosquitoes are likely to return if you don't reduce attractive standing water habitats. This usually takes four to eight weeks if it&rsquo;s still prime mosquito season. </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: How do I prevent weeds from coming up through the joints?

• <div><p>The best way to prevent weeds is to use polymeric sand, which hardens and blocks weed growth when activated with water. If you're using regular sand, you'll need to refill and compact it more often. Keeping the surface clean and free of debris can also help prevent weed seeds from settling in the joints.</p></div>

Q: What will kill crabgrass but not grass?

• <div><p>A spot herbicide for weed control is effective at killing crabgrass and not grass, but it depends on the type of herbicide. Always check the label to ensure that your herbicide is safe for grass but tough on crabgrass. Overall, spot treatment is ideal because it puts fewer herbicides into the soil, which can damage the soil. If you&rsquo;re wanting a natural remedy to crabgrass that also won&rsquo;t harm surrounding grass, you can also hand-remove crabgrass or even pour boiling water or 5% vinegar over crabgrass as a spot treatment.</p></div>
