A thick, healthy lawn isn’t just nice to look at. It improves your home’s value and also provides for more outdoor enjoyment. But when weedy invaders are taking over, it detracts from these areas and creates a lot of frustration. What can you do? For homeowners like you across the Granbury area, it simply requires an effective lawn weed control plan. Here’s what to focus on:
- Mowing. Follow the 1/3 rule when cutting your lawn. Don’t remove more than that at a time. When you keep your grass blades longer, they’ll grow more vigorously and stand taller, blocking weed seedlings from getting adequate sunlight.
- Watering. How you water has a big impact on root health. Too shallow and roots will develop near the surface, making your lawn more prone to future attacks. Instead, water deeply at a rate of about one inch every time. This will seep into the soil, getting below the root zone, encouraging them to grow deeper to absorb it.
- pH balancing. When your soil is too acidic or alkaline, grass won’t develop well; yet, certain kinds of weeds actually favor these extremes. So test your soil – and amend it, if necessary – to ensure it’s providing an optimal environment for your lawn.
- Aerating. Compaction is another common problem that hinders grasses and can help weeds. Alleviate it through an aeration treatment, which will open up the soil, enabling more air, water, and nutrients to reach roots.
- Fertilizing. Your lawn needs fuel to not only survive, but thrive. The right key essentials will help it produce strong roots and thick leaves, better fending off intruders in the process. For the best results, deliver around six to eight applications during the growing season.
