Using our knowledge of local species and climate patterns, we effectively treat weed infestations in Hinsdale and can help prevent many invasive plants from taking root to begin with.
Addressing the Different Varieties of Weeds in Hinsdale
If you assumed there was some kind of one-size-fits-all approach to weed control, you might be surprised to learn that everything from the timing of treatment application to the type of treatment used may need to be adjusted depending on the weed species.
These species are often divided into two categories that grow in different ways: broadleaf plants and grassy plants. Take a look at some of the characteristics of these weed types in the overview below.
Broadleaf Weeds
Broadleaf weeds are typically the easiest to spot and, therefore, create the biggest eyesore. Dandelions are a great example with their wide leaves and flowers, but clover and chickweed are other flowering broadleaf weeds common to the local area. We often treat these using post-emergent herbicides applied to the leaves of the plant, which then reach down to and kill off their roots.
Grassy Weeds
One of the main differentiating factors between these and broadleaf weeds is that they look much more like the grass growing on your lawn. They are also similar in their biology, so a careful treatment approach is a must to avoid harming turfgrass. Our experts can ensure these weeds are targeted with precision to prevent any damage to your lawn, and they can also apply pre-emergent treatments early on in the year to keep their seeds from germinating.
