"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

Weeds may grow back when pulled out if the root is not completely removed. Invasive weeds can regrow from just a small portion of remaining root, so using a weed-pulling tool can help ensure you remove the entire root. Weeds may grow back faster if roots aren’t fully removed, and incomplete removal could cause them to spread as well.

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.

Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise. 

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?

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.
