Weed Control
The occasional weed in your yard requires little more than digging it out of the ground. However, a yard overrun with weeds, especially hard-to-get-rid-of weeds such as Creeping Charlie, may require more than an afternoon of hand weeding or a quick spray of a store-bought weed killer. There are caveats to using herbicides which you may not know could have lasting negative effects on other plants in your yard. Expert weed control can eliminate invasive weeds while promoting healthy, desired vegetation in your yard.
There are a few things you may not have known about weeds and lawn weed control:
- Most herbicides used for weed control in lawns are designed to kill broadleaf plants. Your trees and shrubs are broadleaf plants.
- Lawn companies that promise 100% weed control achieve this by coating your entire yard with herbicides multiple times a year. A 90-95% weed-free lawn is a healthier and more achievable standard for your lawn.
- The best way to control weeds is to maintain a healthy, dense turf. This is done through improving the soil condition, applying quality granular fertilizer, and employing proper lawn mowing and lawn watering practices.
- Weeds are symptomatic of deeper problems within the lawn and soil.
