I was also told that service comes once every two months, and I am due this month for a service.

First question I have is do you think it's within the normal range of service expectations that even if I'm on schedule with my service, that these weeds can infest like this in between services?

2nd question, can you identify these weeds?

3rd question, any suggestions going forward besides waiting for Bates to do the next service and seeing what happens?

Thanks,
Every 2 months is not enough mine does every 6 weeks and will come out if I have a problem. Most only spot treat and don’t spray the whole lawn so miss a lot of weeds in the lawn. I use Landsculpture for mowing, trimming shrubs, pest control, fertilizing lawn and shrubs. Trimming 4 times a year, pest control, weed control and fertilize lawn and shrubs every 6 weeks. They mow and edge the lawn every week for a $159 a month one guy to call to do it all.
