"My rock border was full of dirt and weeds. The guys took out the stones, cleaned them off on the driveway, put down new weed guard, then replaced the stones and added more to fill in. It looks like new! They also sawed down a couple of stumps and worked around my existing plants. Pleased with how it turned out!"

35 year old father, that is mowing yards with my 8 year old and 9 year old to help them earn some of their own money and they love to help me mow our big yard at the farmhouse. Our end goal for each yard is a high quality finish for a very low cost.

"Let me start by saying that this is the 2nd time this year that I have hired Al's Moving and Labor so although I am NOT a fan of moving in general and what that takes on, I am a fan of Al's Moving and Labor. Al may not tell you he worked for many, many years for a national moving company and he may not tell you that he is formerly military, but he and his crew are well trained and know what they are doing and are really precise with the detail you need on your moving day. I am a meeting planner, and it's all in the details and the level of service. Have you ever had your items shrink-wrapped or paper-wrapped? Amazing amount of care in their work. The morning of my move, I got another confirmation call from Al. When crew arrived, I knew one of them from my move six months ago. The truck was loaded in 40 minutes and when we arrived at my new location, the and crew unloaded into a storage unit on site and into my new apartment. If I changed my mind on where I wanted the furniture placed, they were only professional, patient and kind. If you are a single middle aged person like me whose friends all are over 50 and have bad backs, do call Al's Moving and Labor for great service and a job very well done. Buy local. Call Al.

Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.
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.
Adding vinegar to your lawn increases the acidity of the area, which can kill quack grass present above the ground. However, putting vinegar in your yard will also kill the grass. Unfortunately, the below-ground quack grass rhizomes remain very much alive in the presence of vinegar and will soon sprout again.
There are a few things you should ask a weed service company before hiring to ensure you’re choosing the best professional for the job:
How often will you apply herbicides?
Do you include any spot treatments or manual weed removal in your pricing?
Do you offer pet-safe and kid-safe herbicides?
What other lawn services can you provide?
Do you offer any kind of guarantee for the work performed?
Are you properly licensed and fully insured?
Do you have any customer references I could speak with?
The main problem with crabgrass is that it produces thousands of seeds that can remain dormant until the following season. To get rid of it, you have to remove existing plants before they have a chance to spread seeds and stop old seeds from germinating.
