Weeds in your neighbor’s lawn do more than look ugly. They can actually impact your turf health. How can you protect your grass from a weed-filled yard just feet away? It’s a question we’re often asked. As experts in lawn weed control service in Redmond, Bothell, and neighboring areas in WA, we know there are some extra steps to take to give your lawn’s defenses a boost. Here’s what you can do.
We Help You Beat Common Lawn Weeds
When you work hard in your lawn, you want to reap beautiful, green rewards. However, when your neighbor doesn’t devote the same time and effort—and it’s affecting your lawn in the form of spreading weeds—it’s frustrating. What can you do?
Short of moving, there are many ways to keep weeds out. First, remember that a strong, healthy lawn is your best defense against weeds. So keep up with mowing and cut your lawn to around three inches high. Also, fertilize in the early spring to kickstart growth, so weeds are naturally crowded out by vigorously growing grass.
Early spring in the Redmond area is also a good time to apply a pre-emergent weed control product to your lawn. This forms a chemical barrier in the soil that stops certain types of weed seedlings from fully developing and spreading in your lawn. So even if seeds get in from a neighbor’s yard, they won’t mature and populate your lawn.
Another option to protect your turf is to plant landscape beds around the perimeter of your property. This will stop neighboring weeds from making their way into your lawn. If you have patchy, bare areas where grass doesn’t grow, you should also cover these spots with a layer of mulch or gravel. Areas like these are prime targets for opportunistic weeds, so protecting them will go a long way in keeping weeds from multiplying in your yard.
