Whether it’s clover and crabgrass or dandelion and purslane, dealing with weeds is a pain. Not only are they persistent, but different types require varying approaches. On top of that, there can be other issues going on in your lawn or with your maintenance practices that are contributing to high populations. It’s why lawn weed control is one of the biggest aggravations for homeowners from Arlington TX to Hurst, Euless, and in other surrounding communities.
The good news is that with an effective strategy, you can regain control and rejuvenate your lawn. You simply need to take certain steps and make a consistent effort that includes:
- Mowing correctly. Set your mower blades a little higher this season to ensure you’re not cutting off more than a third of your lawn’s height. This will help grass blades shade and choke out developing weed seedlings, so they can’t spread.
- Regular watering and fertilization. When your lawn is well-hydrated and well-fed too, it will grow thicker and stronger. This, in turn, boosts defenses and helps turfgrass naturally fend off attacks from weeds.
- Addressing compacted soil. Hard soil can suffocate your grass, and yet, some weed species can tolerate it. So if you’re seeing issues with poor drainage or soil that seems excessively hard, alleviate it with an aeration treatment. This will get your lawn breathing again and channel more resources to the root system.
- Treating weeds on the surface and down below. While spot treating and hand pulling are good if you only have a few weeds, a better approach involves pre- and post-emergent treatments. Pre-emergent products target young plants prior to germination, suppressing them before they break through and spread in your lawn. Post-emergent products are designed for the existing weeds you’re already seeing on the surface.
