But before you run to your local garden center for supplies, you\u00a0need a treatment\u00a0plan. An effective approach is about more than simply spraying herbicide or hand pulling. You also have to\u00a0make sure you&#8217;re:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mowing your lawn correctly. <\/strong>In addition to weed control, spring also signals a time for lawn mowing. Make sure you&#8217;re approaching the job correctly by leaving around a 1\/3 of the grass height behind. If you cut too short, you&#8217;ll let weed seedlings get more sunlight and water, enabling them to grow and develop.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Checking for problem spots. <\/strong>The best way to fight back against weeds is with a healthy lawn. But if yours is experiencing spotty growth, soil compaction, or has a nutrient deficiency, it&#8217;s going to be weak and vulnerable. So assess the condition of your yard overall and look for ways to improve it, whether with seeding, core aeration, or fertilization.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identifying weed species.<\/strong> Before you make a move and start applying fertilizer, it&#8217;s critical that you first identify the weeds you have. Grassy varieties, for instance, are treated differently than broadleaf ones. For those, use a pre-emergent lawn weed control product applied before germination during the Cape May area&#8217;s early spring season. The best time is prior to soil temperatures regularly hitting around 60 to 65 degrees. Many kinds of broadleaf weeds, on the other hand, require direct contact on their leaves. After rainfall is ideal since a post-emergent product will stick better to leaves and get soaked in, providing more control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The\u00a0Cape May Area&#8217;s Lawn Weed Control Team:\u00a0Leave\u00a0the Job to Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once your infestation is under control, you want to keep it that way.
