The Importance of Professional Weed Control

The first step in fighting weeds is to determine the species of weeds in your yard. If you misidentify the weed and choose an incorrect treatment, the weed will survive. Weeds are categorized by their general morphological characteristics and lifecycles as grassy, sedge, and broadleaf. Our team can identify challenging weeds like crabgrass that blend in with your everyday grass. We train our service professionals to quickly identify weeks for optimal weed control.

Weed Elimination for All Types

We can fight any weed and win. We go to battle once we determine the type of weed pestering your lawn. Some of the most common types of weeds found in grass include:

Pre-Emergent vs. Post-Emergent Weed Control

Grasping the distinctions between pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control strategies is vital for effective weed prevention and elimination.

Pre-emergent weed management involves administering herbicides prior to the germination of weed seeds, which makes the timing of the application paramount. These herbicides create a barrier in the earth, stopping weed seeds from sprouting and taking root in your yard. Generally, it is advisable to apply pre-emergent treatments in spring to address opportunistic summer weeds that thrive when our lawns enter dormancy due to the heat.

Post-emergent weed management, in contrast, attacks weeds that have already sprouted and are visible in your yard. Even if these herbicides are engineered to destroy existing weeds, the timing remains crucial. Post-emergent treatments are most successful when weeds are in their active growth stage and before they start producing seeds or spreading more. Regular surveillance of your yard is crucial to spot and treat weeds immediately after they surface.
