Whether it&#8217;s dandelion, crabgrass, chickweed, or purslane, the best way to protect your lawn from these intruders is with a solid treatment plan. For homeowners across the Commack, NY area, lawn weed control should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Soil testing. <\/strong>It might seem like weeds are the problem, when in reality, pH issues, soil compaction, and nutrient gaps could all be leading the charge. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to test your soil&#8217;s quality and check for issues, like compaction, to ensure it&#8217;s in the best shape possible to support healthy growth and fend off attacks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proper mowing.<\/strong> Get mowing right and you&#8217;ll go a long way in your battle against weeds. While different grasses have varying recommended heights at which to mow, it&#8217;s simplest to follow the one-third rule. Just don&#8217;t cut off more than that at a time and mow more frequently. You&#8217;ll reduce stress and enable grass blades to shade out emerging weed seedlings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep watering.<\/strong> Deeper growing roots lead to healthier lawns. However, if you water lightly, you could actually be weakening the structure\u00a0since you&#8217;re encouraging shallow growth. Instead, give your lawn about an inch of water, which will\u00a0penetrate below the root zone, forcing them\u00a0to grow further into the soil to reach it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre- and post-emergent treatments.<\/strong> When it comes to getting in front of lawn weeds, your best bet is with pre-emergent control during the early spring, before germination begins. This suppresses young plants underground so they don&#8217;t continue to develop. If some do begin to break through, spot treat them with a post-emergent product. Do so when they&#8217;re actively growing, but before they drop seed. Otherwise, they&#8217;ll just repopulate your yard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The Commack\u00a0Area&#8217;s\u00a0Lawn Weed Control Team:\u00a0Leave\u00a0the Work\u00a0to Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Is tackling weed treatments every spring or throughout the year getting to be too much for you?
