Lawn Weed Control in Egg Harbor Township and Atlantic County: Stop Invaders with a Treatment Plan

For many homeowners in Egg Harbor Township and Atlantic County, lawn weed control is a struggle each season. You pull, spray, and hope they don’t return. And yet, despite all your hard work, stubborn invaders keep coming back. What gives? It could actually be a problem with an underlying condition. Weeds take advantages of any weaknesses or vulnerabilities, which means if your lawn isn’t thick and healthy, you’re simply spinning your wheels.

The good news is that with the right treatment plan, you can regain control and reclaim your yard from the likes of dandelion, crabgrass, clover, and other interlopers. Here are a few easy steps to help you get there:Close up of blades of grass showing lawn weed control in Egg Harbor Township

  • Fertilize regularly. In most lawns across the Atlantic County area, the soil doesn’t have enough nutrients to fuel optimal growth, leading to weed control issues. That’s where fertilization comes in. Aim to fertilize in early spring, six to eight weeks later, and then again toward the end of summer into fall. This will keep your grass thicker and stronger, offering little space for competing weeds.
  • Mow taller. When you mow, leave grass blades higher. Weed seedlings need sunlight and water to sprout up; the taller your grass, the less likely they can continue to develop. So raise those blades and leave behind about a third of your lawn height with every cut.
  • Soak the soil. You might not put much thought into how you water. But it can actually have a big impact on turf health. If you water in short intervals, several times a week, roots will seek out that moisture and start growing closer to the surface. This makes them vulnerable to stress, like heat and drought. Instead, water less frequently – once a week – and soak the soil to a depth of about four to six inches.
