For instance, when you&#8217;re seeing certain ones, like chickweed, knotweed, and goosegrass, it can indicate\u00a0compacted soil. Likewise, ragweed, thistle, and plantain can be a red flag for low fertility. Clearly, when it comes to lawn weed control, there&#8217;s a lot for Bakersfield, CA-area homeowners to figure out. The good news is that by maintaining a thick, healthy yard, you can go a long way in making your property less prone to all kinds of weeds. Here&#8217;s how to achieve that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make sure you&#8217;re mowing to the right height. <\/strong>When you&#8217;re cutting your lawn, keep your blade settings higher so you&#8217;re not mowing more than 1\/3 off at a time. Cutting at this level will give grass the height necessary to shade the soil better, preventing weed seeds from getting sufficient light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fertilize frequently during the growing season.<\/strong> Your lawn needs adequate nutritional support in the form of fertilization. Typically, most yards require around twelve applications throughout the year. However, if yours is malnourished, it could demand more. If you&#8217;re not sure, perform a soil test to assess nutrient content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice\u00a0proper irrigation. <\/strong>Another key to getting a strong root system and\u00a0thick grass is watering deeply, yet infrequently. Moisture should\u00a0penetrate the soil and get below the root zone, forcing roots to seek it out and grow deeper.\u00a0Just make sure when you&#8217;re watering, you&#8217;re also following Bakersfield&#8217;s\u00a0time-and-day restrictions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identify and treat pest problems.<\/strong> What do weeds and pests have in common? Pests will damage your lawn, making room for weeds to move in. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to include pest control as part of your treatment plan if you&#8217;re seeing signs of an infestation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The\u00a0Bakersfield\u00a0Area&#8217;s\u00a0Lawn Weed Control Team:\u00a0Leave\u00a0the Work\u00a0to Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Weeds won&#8217;t stand a chance against a strong lawn, and an effective treatment plan can produce one.
