Weed Control Tips

If you stumble across a grass-shaped imposter, check for any fibrous roots and the absence of a leaf stalk. If it fits this criterion, you are likely looking at a grass weed. Crabgrass, nutgrass and summer grass all fall into this category. In small quantities, the best way to remove them is generally by hand, but if you want to save yourself some time, try spraying your lawn with a post-emergent herbicide. You can avoid them from popping up again with the use of a pre-emergent pesticide mid-spring, which will terminate the seeds’ germination.

There are several ways in which you can reduce the weeds which are appearing on your lawn. Here are our tips.

There are different types of chemicals available for specific weeds. Whilst a pre-emergent herbicide prevents weeds from appearing, a post-emergent herbicide targets those that have already grown. Non-selective herbicides will kill any plant they touch, which is a good option if you regularly deal with many different types of weeds. Make sure you know what chemical is right for your type of weed and its intended purpose before applying it to your lawn and remember to carefully measure the surface area to be covered when mixing a herbicide together.

The number of weeds you will encounter also depends on the quality of your turf. Thankfully, we source and sell healthy wintergreen and palmetto varieties which we can deliver to your doorstep. For more information, contact our team today.
