"Mike and his team did such a great job! Mike came out to our house, did an estimate, and once we agreed for the work to be done he came out again treated the gravel driveway that existed. Then he and his crew came back and graded the driveway, put new gravel down, spread it out, and just did a phenomenal job! Top Notch customer service!"

"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!"

"Derrick brought in the mulch I needed within days. He and his crew are talented and dedicated, my beds were covered with 22 cubic yards. Derrick and one of his crew are also skilled at concrete and masonry, so I hired the pair to raise custom shaped and installed flag stones. I never thought I would find artisans with the skill to re-install them with the slope and fit required. They pulled it off"

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to prevent weeds is to use polymeric sand, which hardens and blocks weed growth when activated with water. If you're using regular sand, you'll need to refill and compact it more often. Keeping the surface clean and free of debris can also help prevent weed seeds from settling in the joints.

Foxtail self-seeds and dispurses them among other grasses and pastures. The seeds can spread by wind and by attaching themselves to animals and humans. Seeds will germinate in their new location and become a new plant, which continues the spread of foxtail. Unfortunately, foxtail spreads easily, making it difficult to remove unless it’s caught quickly.

A spot herbicide for weed control is effective at killing crabgrass and not grass, but it depends on the type of herbicide. Always check the label to ensure that your herbicide is safe for grass but tough on crabgrass. Overall, spot treatment is ideal because it puts fewer herbicides into the soil, which can damage the soil. If you’re wanting a natural remedy to crabgrass that also won’t harm surrounding grass, you can also hand-remove crabgrass or even pour boiling water or 5% vinegar over crabgrass as a spot treatment.

Glyphosate and other non-selective herbicides can kill orchard grass, but they will also kill the surrounding plants. Also, not all areas allow the use of glyphosate due to its environmental impact—which the EPA describes as a "potential risk to terrestrial and aquatic plants and birds, and low toxicity to honeybees." Consider mechanical removal to target the plants specifically.
