You’ve worked hard to clear weeds out of your yard and keep them out, but how do you prevent your neighbors’ weeds from moving in and taking over? Controlling weeds is an ongoing battle, especially when neighborhood lawns are covered in them. At Lawn Doctor of Altoona – Johnstown – Bedford County, we utilize our comprehensive lawn weed control service to protect Hollidaysburg, PA lawns from these pesky plants and keep them looking healthier through the seasons.
Top Tips to Control Weeds in Local Lawns
Keeping your neighbors’ weeds out of your yard is possible by taking a few key steps. Here’s a closer look at some of these steps and how they can help you keep invasive weeds out:
Edging Your Yard. Some weeds (Like Zoysia Grass) have extensive root systems they can use to spread throughout your yard. Edging your lawn with steel or composite material can prevent neighborhood weeds from creeping into your yard through underground root systems, keeping weed numbers down in the long run.
Adding Mulch. It’s common for weeds to pop up on bare ground. Covering bare areas in mulch is an effective way to prevent weeds from taking over any bare areas of your yard. Laying mulch on top of landscape fabric provides an extra step of protection to prevent any weeds that do appear from establishing root systems.
Growing Hedges or Installing a Fence. Another common way for weeds to find their way into your yard is to be blown in by the wind. Installing fencing or hedges is a great way to prevent wind-blown weed seeds from settling in your yard and spreading.
Build A Thick Lawn. It is well known that thick, healthy turf that’s cut 3″ high is the best defense against Weeds & Crab Grass. A thick lawn will be able to defend itself from invasion by all sorts of undesirable weeds and other ‘Bad Guys’. Our combination of Nutrient & Control products will get you started on a thick, green, healthy lawn.
