"I was looking for someone who could take on a very large project that is so tedious and time consuming. My husband and I are getting older and having a hard time maintaining all of the large flower beds on front, back and sides of over an acre of property. Oscar answered our quote request within minutes of submitting and showed up within an hour to discuss the project. Oscar was so friendly, enthusiastic to work and take on any and all projects we discussed, no matter how small. We hired him to begin with weeding and edging and since we need 100 yards of mulch, decided to hold off. Oscar showed up the next day, Sunday afternoon, and weeded each flower bed methodically and with determination. He and his partner stayed until it was too dark and arrived first thing Monday morning to complete. We were so happy with his work we hired him to maintain our beds and property and also to install the mulch. Oscar is very quick to respond to any questions and willing to do anything to work with you. It is such a pleasure to know him and look forward to seeing how he transforms our home. He has the exact work ethic my husband and I have and have had trouble finding in many other companies we have tried in the past. Thank you Oscar!"

Weed Services FAQs, answered by experts

Pulling weeds can spread weed seeds and disturb the soil, leading to seed germination. Pulling weeds can also trigger growth in weeds that reproduce through their root systems—disturbing the roots without fully removing them may cause more weeds to grow from the roots.

If you spray a DIY vinegar solution that contains high salt, it can disrupt the soil's structure and make it difficult for plants to grow. That's why it's vital to avoid spraying vinegar solution on areas where you are trying to grow plants and flowers. When using a mix of vinegar and soap, some say you can plant a few days after the vinegar dries. 

Buffalo grass is not a dense grass, so weeds can grow between the buffalo grass plants. However, as long as you don’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.

Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your lawn maintenance checklist.

All herbicides come with risks, but you can control and mitigate risks by discussing your options with your weed service company before application. Some companies use milder or sustainable herbicides more times per season to control weeds rather than one to two herbicide sprayings annually. You can also ask your professional about pet-friendly and kid-friendly services. In most cases, though, you can wait a few days after the application for the herbicides to soak into the ground, at that point they shouldn’t pose a risk to you or your family.
