I\u2019m really not,\u201d Brian said. \u201cBut in this part of Wellesley people pay attention to how the lawns look. When my neighbor\u2019s is this flawless carpet of green and mine looks like an explosion at the crabgrass factory \u2013 well, I don\u2019t like it. So what\u2019s the secret of a weed free lawn?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As much as you might suspect your neighbor with the flawless lawn of spending every free moment checking the grass for weeds, the opposite is actually true. The secret of a weed free lawn is to have your Wellesley lawn care service eliminate the weeds before they even show up.<\/p>\n<p>Now we know that sounds ridiculous. How can you eliminate weeds that aren\u2019t even there yet? The secret is what\u2019s known as pre-emergent weed control \u2013 a sophisticated lawn care system that targets crabgrass and other broad-leafed weeds while they\u2019re still in the ground. Eliminating the weeds at this point is vital, because once they emerge and develop seed heads, it\u2019s very hard for the homeowner to get rid of them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never too late to get rid of your crabgrass. Lawn Doctor\u2019s pre-emergent weed control system works even on yards that have had crabgrass for years and years. Our team of expert technicians will advise you on the number of treatments it will take to fully eliminate crabgrass and other broad-leafed weeds from your yard. Once they are gone, regular treatments prevent them from coming back.<\/p>\n<p>Once the weeds are gone you want healthy vibrant grass growing in its place. That\u2019s why Lawn Doctor provides lawn seeding and fertilization services to accompany pre-emergent weed control. The seeding is done with the type of grass most suited to your yard\u2019s micro-climate and your aesthetic preferences. Fertilization is customized to support the existing and newly seeded grass by addressing any nutritional deficiencies your soil may have. It\u2019s a winning combination that results in a great lawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI\u2019m not a competitive person.
