Understanding Weeds & Why Weed Control Matters
The definition of a weed is simply an unwanted plant. However, most of the unwanted plants that pop up on lawns in the area are stubborn, ugly, and quick to spread. Furthermore, the more weeds on your lawn, the less room and resources will be left for your turfgrass. Not only are these invasive plants an eyesore, but their ability to crowd out healthy grass can do damage over time, making them a health threat to otherwise healthy-looking lawns.
You may be able to name a few pesky weeds, such as dandelions and clover. These flowering weeds are known as broadleaf weeds, thanks to their wide, flat leaves. Other weeds that look more similar to turfgrass are called grassy weeds. Because they often grow under the same conditions as your lawn, they can be a bit tricky to get rid of.
It’s also important to know that invasive plants can be separated into the categories of annual and perennial weeds. In other words, some have a short growing season of a year or less, while others can continue to proliferate over several seasons.
Because this can be a lot to keep track of, and any errors can result in damage to your lawn, it is best to leave the matter of weed control to professionals.
