How Our Team Controls Lawn Weeds in Lafayette
Regulating weed populations in your lawn requires the right products. Choosing the wrong products can limit results and put the overall health of your lawn at risk. Our treatments are formulated to be tough on weeds but gentle on your lawn to maximize results without those unsightly patches that heavy-handed weed control treatments often leave. Although the list of different weed species is nearly endless, they can essentially be divided into two distinct categories. Here they are:
Broadleaf Weeds
Broadleaf weeds require special attention because of their resilience. Getting rid of these weeds requires specific products and precise applications to avoid damaging your grass. At Lawn Doctor of Lafayette, we fight these invasive plants with our broadleaf weed control treatments to effectively drive them out of your lawn and prevent them from spreading. There are several different broadleaf weeds that can pop up in local lawns. Some of the most common include:
- Burweed
- Thistle
- Dandelion
- Plantain
- Clover
Grassy Weeds
Due to their hard-to-reach underground stems, grassy weeds can seem impossible to completely remove. Even if you pull the upper part of a grassy weed, unless the stem is also removed, the plant can grow back throughout its entire active season. With our pre-emergent weed control services, we target these stems to eradicate grassy weeds and stop them from regenerating later on in the year. Here are just a few of the many grassy weeds these treatments address:
- Dallis Grass
- Ryegrass
- Crabgrass
- Goosegrass
If you’re noticing any of the above weeds in your lawn, our lawn experts can help remove them with our lawn weed control techniques and products, keeping weeds at bay year-round.
