"This company has been very trustworthy and dependable. Olivia really knows how to care for and treat lawns. She has sprayed our lawn for fungus and specific weeds all season and the lawn looks great. She advises us to mow at certain lengths and timing. We had a drainage problem on one side of our house and she dug a drainage ditch and filled it in with rocks. She does all our fertilizing and pre-emergent weed control. This company is always right on top of everything that needs to be done and is very reasonably priced, especially for Seniors. I respect and appreciate the dedication to the customer that has been shown to me as a client."

"David has been cutting and trimming my lawn for over a year and I am very pleased with his services. His team is efficient and quick and does a great job. They even come up on my back patio and blow off the dead leaves. Other teams just ignored this. He is easy to deal with and flexible with my schedule. I have recommended him to several of my friends and highly advise you to try him if you want a good job for a reasonable price."

Weed Services FAQs, answered by experts

Technically, dandelions aren’t bad for your lawn, and they don’t directly kill grass. In fact, they appear in areas that are nutrient-deprived, and their long taproots can loosen the soil and bring nutrients closer to the surface. 

However, dandelions do spread quickly, and they can take over your lawn, eventually crowding out grass. This is why a healthy lawn is the best defense against dandelions.

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.

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.

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.

Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you’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’s still prime mosquito season.
