Why Lawns Need Weed ControlClose up of blades of lawn weed control grass

Are you confused by the array of weed control products at your local lawn and garden center? You’re not alone. If you don’t understand weeds, how and when they grow, it’s tough to make the right choices. For instance, weeds can be:

  • Grassy. Grassy weeds look similar to grass and thrive under the same conditions as your lawn. Examples: crabgrass and goosegrass.
  • Broadleaf. Broadleaf weeds have wide, flat leaves, with some types even flowering. Examples: dandelion, chickweed, wild violet, purslane, and henbit.
  • Perennial. Perennial weeds come back over the course of several seasons, establishing strong roots in your lawn. Examples: dandelion, quackgrass, field bindweed, yellow nutsedge, and Canada thistle.
  • Annual. Annual weeds only grow in during the course of one year. Examples: crabgrass, barnyardgrass, and giant foxtail.
  • Warm-season. Warm-season weeds like the warmer temperatures of spring and summer. Examples: spurge, nutsedge and oxalis.
  • Cool-season. Cool-season weeds, however, opt for cooler weather, from fall to spring. Examples: henbit, dandelion, and white clover.

As Rhode Island’s lawn weed control specialists, we know that whatever kinds of weeds you have in your lawn, if you don’t get them under control, they will spread quickly and take over. In the process, many kinds can also compete with your grass and other plants for nutrients, sunlight, and water. This, in turn, weakens your lawn and landscape, impacting both health and color.
