Got weeds in your yard? It can be tough to know how to best treat them. With so many different kinds all emerging at various times, lawn weed control is often a challenge for property owners in Lake Zurich and across Northern, IL. To help you implement a good lawn weed control strategy this spring, here’s a look at the most common categories and how to best suppress each one:
- Grassy weeds. These can be difficult to treat since they look and grow just like your grass does. That’s why the most effective approach is to prevent them as they germinate before they even break through the soil’s surface. Do so with a pre-emergent lawn weed control product during the early spring, before soil temperatures hit 65 degrees and weeds start to germinate.
- Broadleaf weeds. Those that are broadleaf are far easier to identify since they have leaves that are wider than grass blades. They include kinds like dandelion, clover, and thistle. Once you see them active in your yard, they can be controlled with a post-emergent product. This will circulate down to the roots, suppressing these plants in the process.
Going forward, one of the most effective forms of lawn weed control involves practicing proper maintenance. For instance, when you mow correctly without taking off more than 1/3 of your lawn’s height at a time, irrigate deeply but infrequently, and have Lawn Doctor of Buffalo Grove-Lake Zurich-Northbrook apply fertilizer regularly during the growing season, you’ll see less weeds. With professional help from our team and your good management practices, your lawn will grow in thicker and faster while building up better defenses.
