Weeds are simply plants that are out of place. They become problematic when they show up on your lawn because they present competition for turfgrass. Everything from sunlight to water, nutrients, and space can become scarce when weeds take hold of your yard. That’s why you’ll want to have an expert weed control plan in place if you want to protect your lawn in Graham. Fortunately, you can trust our technicians at Lawn Doctor of Hillsborough-Mebane to help you out in this area.
Improve Your Strategy for Weed Control in Graham
Even the nicest lawns can be vulnerable to weed growth. That’s because there are hundreds of weed species that can invade your turfgrass. Plus, some of the things you do to keep your landscape healthy may accidently contribute to a thriving ecosystem of weeds. Take a look at our tips for enhancing your weed control strategy:
- Understand the different categories of weeds. There are two categories of weed species, and each of these categories has different patterns of growth and responds differently to various types of weed treatments. Broadleaf weeds are those with wide leaves and flowers, while grassy weeds are those that look more like turfgrass.
- Know how weeds can come to invade your lawn. You may feel like weeds magically appear on your lawn, and that’s because their seeds can arrive on your landscape with ease. They are often blown in by the wind, can be dropped by birds that fly over your home, and can even be dropped off of mower decks.
- Consider how different approaches work for different weed types. Broadleaf weeds should be treated while they’re young and emerging, while crabgrass and annual grassy weeds need to have treatments applied before they start to germinate. As keeping track of the weed types on your lawn and applying targeting treatments can be tricky, it’s always best to leave this step to our professional team!
