You&#8217;re not alone. If you don&#8217;t understand weeds, how and when they grow, it&#8217;s tough to make the right choices. For instance, weeds can be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Grassy.\u00a0<\/strong>Grassy weeds look similar to grass and thrive under the same conditions as your lawn. Examples: crabgrass and goosegrass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broadleaf.\u00a0<\/strong>Broadleaf weeds have broad, flat leaves, with some types even flowering. Examples: dandelion, chickweed, wild violet, purslane, and henbit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perennial.<\/strong> Perennial\u00a0weeds come back over the course of several seasons, establishing strong roots in your lawn. Examples: dandelion, quackgrass, field bindweed, yellow nutsedge, and Canada thistle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Annual.\u00a0<\/strong>Annual weeds only grow during the course of one year. Examples: crabgrass, barnyard grass, and foxtail.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warm-season.\u00a0<\/strong>Warm-season\u00a0weeds like the warmer temperatures of spring and summer. Examples: spurge, nutsedge, and oxalis and this year especially, white clover.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool-season.<\/strong> Cool-season\u00a0weeds, however, opt for cooler weather from fall to spring. Examples: henbit, dandelion,\u00a0white clover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As Rhode Island\u2019s lawn weed control specialists, we know that whatever kinds of weeds you have in your lawn, if you don\u2019t get them under control, they will spread and take\u00a0over, sometimes quickly. In the process, many weeds can\u00a0also compete with your grass and other plants for nutrients, sunlight, and water. This, in turn, weakens your lawn, impacting both health and color.<\/p>\n<h2><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidwmLSvKrlOGwT%22%20%2F%3E--><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Our Dynamic Solutions to Protect Your Lawn From Weeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Weeds come in many forms and can cause a number of different problems with your landscape.
