"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!"
Hello, my name is Jack and I have had a property preservation company in the Fox Valley area and beyond. Please contact me with any help that you may need. Thank you.
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.
"I had a large amount of leaves and sticks to clean up. They were cleaned up quickly and thoroughly. I had high expectations and they were exceeded. Recommend highly !"
"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.
"Concrete project was finished earlier than promised. Great customer service and pricing was reasonable. Everything was well organized. Finished product was better than I imagined!"
It’s best to pull weeds when the soil is wet, as it’s much easier. Wet soil is much softer than dry soil, making it easier to pull the entire weed up by the root. Also, since the soil is wet, the roots will let go of the soil and slide up with less resistance. Be careful when working on your wet garden, though, as wet soil is easier to compact, which can harm your plants.
Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.
Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise.
Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.
Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.
Crabgrass is very resilient, and homemade solutions like vinegar may not be strong enough. Typically, hand-weeding is the most effective option that doesn’t involve harmful chemicals. You can use corn-meal gluten as a natural pre-emergent herbicide, but it’s not as effective as chemical weed killers.
