Are you looking for a lawn treatment service for your home in Batavia? With Lawn Doctor of Batavia-Aurora, you can secure industry-leading services that help your lawn grow thick and lush. Let’s talk about how we help you stop weeds from overtaking your lawn.
The most important variables for keeping weeds under control in your lawn are maintaining a thick, healthy lawn and consistency. A thick healthy stand of turf both prohibits weeds from starting and keeps weeds out once any existing weeds have been removed. Maintaining a thick healthy turf depends on performing the 3 cultural care practices properly; mowing, watering, and feeding the turf.
Mowing at the right height and frequency are critical for allowing the turf to optimally perform the critical function of photosynthesis. When the turf has the optimal amount of nutrients, the turf plants will thicken and spread, thereby creating a thick stand of turf that reduces the probability that weeds can germinate.
Watering properly helps to maintain the proper growth rate given the weather conditions, also contributing to keeping the turf thick and healthy. Finally, and perhaps least important, feeding the soil helps provide the macro and micro nutrients the soil bacteria and plants need for optimal growth.
Even when you perform all the cultural practices properly, weeds can and will still appear in your lawn. This is why we say weed control is all about consistency both in timing treatments throughout the season and maintaining a weed control program from season to season. The goal of any weed control program should be to keep new weeds from starting and killing perennial and biennial weeds before they can reproduce.
At Lawn Doctor of Batavia-Aurora, we take a proven, step-by-step program for treating yards with weed problems and protecting them from weed invasions in the future.
How We Treat Lawns Covered in Weeds and Control Weeds Once They are Gone
Here is a short explanation of our lawn treatment, weed control program.
- Service Timing. At each of the 6 services in our program, we treat the lawn for weeds. In the Spring services, we apply a pre-emergent weed control product that targets primarily grassy weeds. We also apply a broad-spectrum weed control product that targets any broadleaf weeds that are in the lawn.
- Pre-emergent treatments. Some weeds are better prevented than trying to control after they have germinated. Crab grass is the primary grassy weed that we seek to prevent. Pre-emergent products help prevent primarily crab grass but also some other grassy and broadleaf weeds from germinating in the first place. Thanks to professional formulas and proper timing, your yard can find relief from the constant threat of invasive plants.
- Post-emergent treatments. When weeds do find a way to make their presence known on your landscape, our post-emergent treatments beat hand-pulling by a long shot. As the weed control products safely and effectively knock out weeds, they help bring your yard back to a more uniform and healthy appearance.
- Fertilizer applications. At each of the 6 visits, we also apply a fertilizer with an analysis specific for the weather conditions, growth rate of the plant, and timing of the season. As noted above, feeding the turf to keep it thick and health is an important part of maintaining a weed-free lawn.
