Controlling Different Types of Lawn Weeds
There is a long list of different weed species that can take root in your lawn and turn it into an unkempt eyesore. Here is a closer look at the two main weed varieties that can take over your yard and effective treatment strategies for both:
Grassy Weeds
Grassy weeds can be tricky to spot due to their likeness to the regular grass that populates your yard and can form dense underground systems that can be difficult to address. Because they can be stubborn once above ground grassy weeds are best treated with pre-emergent products. Here are some of the most common varieties of grassy weeds:
- Crabgrass
- Goosegrass
- Nimblewill
- Orchardgrass
Broadleaf Weeds
Broadleaf weeds are more easily identifiable than grassy weeds, but they can also be more difficult to treat, depending on the specific variety. Broadleaf weeds are treated most effectively with ongoing applications of post-emergent lawn weed control products. Here are some of the most common types of broadleaf weeds to watch out for:
- Dandelion
- Chickweed
- Curly Dock
- Woodsorrel
