This week Simon turned 64 years old. He has worked at Top Choice Lawn Care for over 5 years.  He works just as hard or harder than the next guy.

We end up with explosions of growth, beautiful flowers, piles of oak leaves, and dozens of other…

Weed control is a pain.  There is no magic bullet that will eliminate all weeds from your yard.  There are, however, different tips and tricks that will make weeding much, much easier – and less expensive.  One of those tricks is to regularly use a pre-emergent herbicide.   People are more familiar with post emergent…
