At Lawn Doctor of Hot Springs, we are proud to help local homeowners protect their turf from invasive plants. With our weed control services, Arkadelphia homeowners can secure quick, comprehensive, and powerful treatments to clear up grassy and broadleaf weeds before or after they sprout. Let’s review some key information about these two main weed varieties.
Differences Between Broadleaf and Grassy Weeds
The differences between broadleaf and grassy weeds include:
- Appearance. These weed types couldn’t be more distinct, with grassy weeds looking like your grass and broadleaf weeds having distinguished features like large leaves and flowers.
- Growth traits. Grassy weeds cannot grow in partial shade, while some broadleaf weed species can grow in partial shade.
- DIY mistakes. Pulling these weeds by hand is not a recipe for success. With broadleaf weeds, they are likely to just grow back, so these efforts are largely a waste of time. Hand-pulling with grassy weeds is an even worse idea, as the similarity to your grass makes it difficult to remove these weeds without harming your turf.
Similarities Between Broadleaf and Grassy Weeds
Here are some commonalities between these two weed types:
- Competition. Every species of invasive plant requires water, sunlight and nutrients, just like your turf. This means that when weeds grow in your yard, they’ll compete for these supplies and deprive your lawn of the sustenance it requires.
- Proactive solutions. With either broadleaf or grassy weeds, the best solution is to get ahead of the problem with our pre-emergent treatment. We can apply our potent herbicide to stop these plants from ever emerging from your soil.
- Active weed control. For yards with ongoing weed issues, our team can stop broadleaf and grassy weed growth with our post-emergent herbicide treatment.
