Even the best cared for lawns come under attack from invasive weeds. When this happens, it can be hard to know what to do. Don’t guess at weed control; instead leave it to the experts at Lawn Doctor of Doylestown. We offer a variety of effective lawn weed control services that can help you protect your lawn – and your investment in it.
Why Getting Weeds Under Control Can Be Tricky
Weeds can do so much more than impact the overall beauty of your lawn. They can compete
with your grass, starving your lawn from getting the nutrients it needs to thrive. On top of that, as weeds grow and strengthen, they spread, which can cause serious damage to your landscape. But before you run out to your local hardware store for herbicide, it’s important to understand the different types of weeds and which ones are taking root in your lawn.
As weed control professionals, Lawn Doctor of Doylestown knows that weeds are typically categorized as either broadleaf or grassy. Grassy weeds look similar to your actual grass and include crabgrass and goosegrass. Broadleaf weeds, on the other hand, are far easier to recognize. These include weeds such as clover, dandelion, henbit, and chickweed. Some can even flower, like wild violet.
In addition, both broadleaf and grassy weeds can fall under the category of perennial or annual. Perennial weeds are generally harder to control, growing back season after season and establishing stronger roots in your lawn as a result. Annuals typically grow several times throughout one year and can be brought into your lawn via seeds carried in by the wind or birds.
Growing seasons for weeds also vary. Depending on the types of weeds you have in your lawn, some may be cool-season and grow during cooler temperatures, while others may be warm-season and thrive in warmer temperatures. Whatever weeds you have growing in your lawn, it’s important to know their growing season so you can treat them at the right time.
