"A.C. and his two assistants were amazing. The heat index was over 100 degrees, and they worked non-stop for five hours, cleaning out beds, which were clogged with weeds, laying the mulch and carefully edging throughout. Poison ivy gone. They were polite, professional -- a pleasure to work with."

"I can’t begin to describe how pleased I am with my experience with LDL Services! Lester was quick to come out to quote my job. We agreed on a fair price that afternoon and he was out the next morning (sooner than expected!). It was a big job, but he and his crew finished by late afternoon. They cleared out an embarrassing amount of overgrowth and finally got my yard under control. I couldn’t be happier with their work! I will definitely keep them in mind for my next project!"

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.

If possible, you should prioritize pulling weeds up by hand. However, be sure not to use your bare hands, as many weeds are sharp or otherwise irritating when they come in contact with skin. Always don thick, protective gardening gloves to protect your hands when you pull up weeds.

Vinegar is known to be a contact herbicide, which means it kills the foliage it comes in contact with. Because of the high acetic acid concentration, horticultural vinegar kills weeds and grass more effectively. However, keep in mind that high amounts and multiple applications can affect the soil by lowering the pH levels.
