"Working with Brandon and his team has been seamless from start to finish. Brandon was immediately responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough upon our first contact with him and has continued to be incredibly communicative throughout all our projects and ongoing work with him. We now have a beautiful lawn thanks to his team successfully executing both Sod installation and seeding! Brandon was even personally available and responsive to all of our numerous questions throughout the Sod rooting process. He provided input and suggestions for projects that emerged as we went, including tree removal, reworking a tricky area of our property, and formulating design plans for new planting. Brandon and his whole team have been wonderful to work with-- professional, efficient, hard working. Their work has been meticulous spanning all projects so far; our property is looking transformed. Canâ t recommend Hepp Landscaping enough!"

"I saw a crew for the Grounds Guys cleaning my neighbor’s yard. I asked if they could give me an estimate for branch removal from my front yard due to a recent storm. Within an hour Adam came to my front door and gave me what I thought was a reasonable estimate. Within 2 hours he had his crew clean all of the leaves and branches removed from my yard."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

Johnsongrass and crabgrass are invasive weeds that can overtake your lawn. Crabgrass is a low-growing grass most often seen in lawns, flower beds, and vegetable gardens. While you may find Johnsongrass growing in your lawn, it will also grow in pastures, crop fields, and the edge of the road. Johnsongrass is much coarser than crabgrass. If left alone, Johnsongrass can grow up to 8 feet tall. 

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.

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.

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.

Burning is not a recommended method for controlling foxtail grasses. In a large pasture scenario, the fire moves too quickly through the weeds to effectively burn and kill the seeds, meaning they will resprout eventually. If your lawn is overrun with foxtails, it’s best to consult a lawn care professional for suggestions on how to permanently remove it from your property.
