Learn More About Grassy Weeds
Are you wondering what those weeds in your yard are, the ones that look so different from other common weed species, such as dandelions? Here’s a debrief on these invaders and how they should be handled:
- Defining grassy weeds. Let’s lay a solid foundation of knowledge by defining this plant type. All weeds are plants that take root where they are uninvited. Grassy weeds are a specific kind of weed that shares numerous similarities with turfgrass, including their biological structure and overall appearance.
- Understanding the challenges of grassy weeds. These similarities make grassy weeds tougher to treat than their broadleaf counterparts. As they do best in the same environment and under the same conditions as turfgrass, your lawn care routine may actually be helping them spread. The reverse is also true in that anything you may attempt to kill grassy weeds could also unintentionally kill off your turfgrass.
- How to manage this weed type. Handpulling is not the best strategy in this case. With their huge network of roots, grassy weeds are secure in the soil, and manually removing them will leave bits of the plant behind to regenerate. That’s why our weed control services put pre-emergent herbicides to use, targeting grassy weeds before they can even germinate. You can also rely on us to use post-emergents to knock out those that have already started to creep onto your lawn.
