Maintaining a healthy-looking lawn is important to your home’s overall curb appeal. One of the most challenging parts of lawn maintenance is effective weed control. Once weeds infiltrate your yard, they can spread over large areas in a short amount of time and become a pressing issue. To fight off weeds and keep them at bay throughout the year, our team at Lawn Doctor of Fenton-Wildwood-Oakville-Imperial utilizes a comprehensive list of lawn weed control solutions. With our premium treatment options, we effectively control invasive weeds in lawns located throughout the Fenton, Wildwood, Eureka, High Ridge, Lemay and Oakville areas.
How We Control Different Types of Lawn Weeds in Fenton
Different weeds require different approaches to treatment for the best results. The list of different weeds that can pop up in Fenton lawns is nearly endless, but they can essentially be grouped into two distinct categories: grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds. Here is a little more about these categories and how we utilize our treatments to keep them at bay:
Grassy Weeds vs. Broadleaf Weeds
Grassy weeds like crabgrass and doveweed bear a strong resemblance to the turf that covers your lawn, which can make them hard to identify at first. In addition to being tricky to spot, grassy weeds often have hard-to-reach stems that can make their removal difficult for even the most seasoned DIY enthusiasts. With our pre-emergent lawn weed control treatments at Lawn Doctor of Fenton-Wildwood-Oakville-Imperial, we target these stems to effectively remove grassy weeds and keep them out of your yard in the long run.
Broadleaf weeds are easy to find due to their bulky composition, but they can be hard to remove because of their sheer resilience. It takes tough treatments to rid your lawn of broadleaf weeds, and our specially-designed broadleaf lawn weed control treatments in the areas around Fenton are the answer. With these treatments, we make short work of broadleaf weeds while leaving the rest of your yard unharmed.
Annual vs. Perennial Germination
Different weeds can have different germination schedules, and keeping up with these differences can leave you with little time to spare. Weeds that germinate on an annual basis can sprout multiple times, but their lifespans are generally limited to one season. Perennial weeds, however, can develop intricate root networks and stick around for multiple seasons. When we perform your free lawn evaluation, we’ll determine the optimum treatment schedule to deal with your lawn’s specific weed populations, whether they’re annual, perennial or both.
