What&#8217;s your strategy\u00a0for dealing with them? If you&#8217;re like many property owners across the Dubuque, IA area, your lawn weed control plan might simply consist of hand\u00a0pulling or spot treating. But if there are other issues contributing to a surge in weeds, or if you&#8217;re not practicing proper lawn management techniques,\u00a0these efforts won&#8217;t produce the results you want. Instead, take a more comprehensive approach that includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Treating your lawn. <\/strong>Annual weeds, like crabgrass, can be controlled through the use of a granular pre-emergent just before germination, which occurs when lawn soil temperatures in the Dubuque area get to around 65 degrees. For existing broadleaf weeds, like dandelion, clover, poison ivy, and others, use a post-emergent product, either in liquid or granular form.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeping grass blades longer. <\/strong>Taller grass is one of the best defenses against weeds. There&#8217;s more surface area, providing for optimal food and energy production and vigorous growth, as a result. In addition, longer blades will shade young weed seedlings, suppressing their development in the process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improving soil conditions.<\/strong> The soil your lawn grows in is another important consideration. If compaction is in play, if there&#8217;s a pH problem, or if a nutrient deficiency is weakening growth, these all need to be dealt with for better control over weeds. Otherwise, no matter what you apply in terms of treatments, invaders will simply return if your lawn remains weak.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dealing with vulnerable\u00a0areas. <\/strong>Did winter leave behind bald or patchy spots? Consider seeding. If you do, however, don&#8217;t\u00a0use any\u00a0pre-emergent lawn weed control in those locations in Dubuque since it suppresses grass seeds, as well. If you have sites\u00a0in your lawn where grass simply won&#8217;t successfully grow, mulch or use a different landscape alternative instead to suppress future weeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Dubuque&#8217;s\u00a0Lawn Weed Control Team:\u00a0Leave\u00a0the Work\u00a0to Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t have the free space in your schedule to deal with the likes of dandelion, plantain, chickweed, clover, and crabgrass?
