"Hard working, extremely reliable, flexible scheduling, polite, courteous, and shows on time. Cleared my backyard of weeds including roots, used pick axe instead of a tiller which would have blended weed roots back into the soil. Disposed of all the weed root waste. Planted zoysia sod as requested, even offered to use his trailer to pick up final load at sod farm in Poolesville, MD about 1 hr and 10 minutes from my home in Shepherdstown, WV saving me time and travel. Timely in completing the work and reasonably priced."

"Juan was professional, responsive and always got the job done in a timely manner. We had been using another service that we constantly had to remind to come out to mow our lawn but Juan was consistent and always did an amazingly thorough job. I only wish we had found him sooner."

"My backyard was so overgrown with all kinds of plants shrubs, small little garden spots throughout the yard. There was a raised Gordon bed. They cleaned everything up for me and hold it all way I now have one solid backyard. They even trimmed my hedges. They were so easy to deal with. They’re very reasonable in price. I am actually having them come back and move stone out of my front yard and make a little patio for me for my swing. I will recommend them to everyone."

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yellow patches, poor growth, or widespread weeds indicate a need for treatment. Soil testing can confirm nutritional deficiencies that require intervention.

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.

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
