"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

Mowing a lawn will, unfortunately, not get rid of clover, and it may even encourage it to flourish. Let your lawn grow to a healthy height of over 3 inches and then set your mower blades no lower than this level. Higher grass will cut out the light that clover loves and discourage it from spreading.

Due to its slow growth, Bahia grass does not generally take over weeds. In fact, the opposite can be true. Young Bahia grass is susceptible to being taken over by weeds. 

Likewise, in the cool season, Bahia grass goes into a dormant state that can allow weeds that thrive in early spring to get the upper hand. If you want to prevent weeds from taking over your yard, remove them by hand or apply a Bahia grass-friendly pre-emergent herbicide to your lawn before weeds have a chance to appear.

Yellow patches, poor growth, or widespread weeds indicate a need for treatment. Soil testing can confirm nutritional deficiencies that require intervention.

Landscaping fabric can only help to prevent weed growth in the short term. It's not an ideal long-term solution because dirt will eventually make its way on top of it, causing weeds to sprout. These fabrics can also leave microplastics in the environment for many, many years, so pulling weeds using one of the methods in this guide as soon as you see them is a better long-term prevention strategy.
