As experts in weed control in the Wayne\u00a0area, Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey has the answers. Here are some tips to help you combat clover, crabgrass, and dandelions\u00a0\u2013 and win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep your lawn mowed to the right height. <\/strong>It\u2019s tempting to mow your lawn as short as possi<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/butler-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/fertilization-weed-annual-plans.png\" alt=\"Close up of blades of grass treated with lawn weed control in Wayne\" width=\"241\" height=\"343\" \/>ble so you don\u2019t have to mow it as often. But when you do, you\u2019re putting stress on\u00a0grass blades and making them more vulnerable to a weed overgrowth.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, mow more frequently and cut off\u00a01\/3 or less of the total grass height. Also, make sure your mower blades are sharp. Dull blades pull on weeds, which also causes stress and weakness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water deeply, less frequently. <\/strong>At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey, we know if you\u2019re watering your lawn for a few minutes each night, you\u2019re not doing it any favors &#8211; especially when it comes to lawn weed control. In fact, short and frequent watering\u00a0promotes shallow root growth and creates conditions for a weed takeover.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s best to water your lawn deeply once a week. This allows grass roots and blades to get proper hydration, promoting\u00a0robust growth in the process. Not only that, but a strong, healthy lawn can naturally fight off a weed infestation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steer clear of fertilizer in the heat of summer. <\/strong>Once it\u2019s blazing hot outside \u2013 and likely to stay that way for a while \u2013 don\u2019t apply fertilizer to your lawn. If you do, you\u2019ll simply feed weeds, while potentially causing damage and discoloration to drought-stressed grass.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Looking for Professional Lawn Weed Control Help in the Wayne Area?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With hundreds of different types of weeds, which grow during different conditions and seasons, it can be tricky to know how to best treat them in your lawn.
