A comprehensive approach that combines proper maintenance practices with treatments timed right can help you cast out intruders and create better conditions for thicker grass, greener color, and stronger natural defenses. Here&#8217;s what your plan should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Finding and fixing soil quality issues.<\/strong> Lawn weeds are stubborn, aggressive, and spread even in unfavorable conditions. Your grass, however, needs a well-balanced environment to achieve optimal health and growth. So\u00a0if your soil is compacted, the pH level is\u00a0too high or low, or there&#8217;s a gap in nutrition, your yard will be more prone to weeds moving in. Spring is a good time to test your soil and troubleshoot any issues that could be occurring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Applying early spring weed control treatments.<\/strong> When weeds are in their initial stage of development, they&#8217;re at their most vulnerable. This is when it&#8217;s a good time to hit them with a pre-emergent lawn weed control product during the early spring season, before they germinate. This happens when soil temperatures get to the 65-degree mark for several days in a row.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mowing at a higher blade setting.<\/strong> When it comes to your mower blades, there are recommended settings for different grass types. However, if you want to take the easiest approach, just adhere to the 1\/3 rule, never cutting off more than that in a single mowing. This will help your turf maintain a high level of food production, growing more vigorously as a result. Taller blades also better shade weed seedlings, suppressing them in the process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watering heavily to penetrate below the root zone. <\/strong>When you&#8217;re watering, focus on a heavy application that soaks the soil to a depth of around four to six inches. Taking this approach gets moisture under the root system, encouraging roots to grow further in order to absorb moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Benton&#8217;s\u00a0Lawn Weed Control Team:\u00a0Leave\u00a0the Work\u00a0to Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From mowing to watering, you&#8217;ve\u00a0got a lot on your plate with yard care this spring.
