But did you know that fall is actually a better time of year? When it comes to autumn treatments, not only will you get a jumpstart on those weeds germinating so they don&#8217;t come back next year, but also those that tend to pop up and spread during cooler months. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Henbit<\/li>\n<li>Corn speedwell<\/li>\n<li>Common chickweed<\/li>\n<li>Hairy bittercress<\/li>\n<li>Purple deadnettle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Why Fall is an Ideal Time in Boston<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fall is an excellent time of year in the Boston area to get control over a variety of different lawn weeds. This is for a few different reasons. First and foremost, weeds are storing up energy reserves for the harsh winter ahead. That means\u00a0they&#8217;re drinking in what&#8217;s applied to them,\u00a0moving nutrients, energy \u2013 and weed control products \u2013 from the leaves to the roots. Treatments are therefore more\u00a0effective. During spring and warmer weather months, this\u00a0process is reversed with roots expending energy upward to support plant growth.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason fall is an ideal time of year for lawn weed control in Boston\u00a0is that many types, including some of the most stubborn \u2013 like\u00a0dandelion, henbit, and chickweed \u2013 germinate during cooler, moist months. They then survive as small plants throughout winter, only to blossom and explode once warmer weather appears. At this point, it&#8217;s much harder to control them. However, a pre-emergent treatment in early\u00a0fall will suppress the development process. Even if they&#8217;re already growing, a fall weed\u00a0treatment is more effective since plants are so small and not well-established.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other Treatments to Focus On for Fall Lawn Weed Control in Boston<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of Boston, we know if you want to get the most from fall lawn weed control treatments, it&#8217;s also important to ensure your yard is as healthy as possible.
