Is your yard
Exploding with weeds ?
You may think a few weeds here or there aren’t much to worry about, but did you know most weeds are capable of producing over a thousand seeds each?
Rain and the warmer weather that will follow will make conditions just right for hose little land mines lying under the soil waiting for just the right moment to germinate and destroy your weekends.
Are you wondering how you are going to get control of the weeds that just keep coming and coming? Did you know that not only can we kill your existing weeds, we can prevent new ones from popping up for months?!
Imaging not being concerned about the weeds at all. Wouldn’t it be great to spend your weekends relaxing on your patio and actually enjoying the view?
Let our experts take care of your weed control.
You’ll have more time for fun.
See your chiropractor less.
Your yard will look great all the time.
Your plants will love you and be healthier too!
What we do: we will price our service right over the phone if you know the square footage of the area you want sprayed. (Length times the width). If not, then we can help you guesstimate the square footage and price that. We’ll schedule an appointment at your place, show up on time, take actual measurements and give you a firm price, make the application and leave you with the instructions on after care.
What you do: Crazy as it sounds, you have to water in the weed preventer, one time equal to ½ inch of rain to activate the pre-emergent preventative action. Don’t worry, you have up to 3 weeks to get this done.

Spring is a time for new beginnings. It gets us all warmed up for a summer of fun and activities. Seeds are popping up all over. They are mostly weeds, but if you play it right, you can choose. Decide what you want your world to look like this year and get out there and sow some seeds of your own!
“It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want—oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!”
― Mark Twain
Spring is big for…
- Composting. If you are planning on planting, especially a veggie garden or fruit trees, now is the time to get your compost pile going if you didn’t do it in the fall. To speed up the process in your compost pile, shred your greenwaste clippings or straw in smaller pieces and keep the pile wet and turn frequently. Add some nice amendments for your soil like oyster shell (calcium) and some store-bought organic compost to inoculate your pile to get is going faster. You could have a pile in as little as 6 weeks.
- Pruning. Time to cut back the driedleaves, grasses and branches on those perennials. Russian Sage will still look like it’s dead. Don’t believe it! It will be budding out and blooming very soon.
- Planting. Now is the second best time to plant. While we can plant literally anytime here in Southern California, some times are better than others. Fall being best and spring is a close second.
- Weed Control. Still doing weed preventative spraying Call now to get on our schedule.
Embrace the lawn replacement!
The big push is on to get rid of our lawns. 🙁 It does not, however have to be rock! AND it can be green and soothing while requiring much less water so we can still enjoy our yard and be responsible to the earth and the future of our granchildren.
There are lots of ground covers that work really well as lower water use and allow us to be responsible and earth-friendly. The plants on the list below all work in different situations but all are beautiful and require a lot less water than a lawn.
Ajuga
Moneywort
Creeping Thyme
Sedums
And my favorite,……Carpet Junipers
