When it Comes to Weed Control, Knowledge is Power
Weeds do more than look ugly. They can actually compete with your lawn for space
, nutrients, sunlight and water. Not only that, but without the right approach, they can quickly take over your lawn and cause serious damage in the process.
The first step in getting weeds under control is understanding the types you’re dealing with in your lawn:
Grassy vs. broadleaf. In the U.S., weeds are categorized as broadleaf or grassy. Grassy weeds, like crabgrass, look like grass and generally thrive under the same conditions as your actual lawn. That means when you’re caring for and treating your lawn, you could be promoting weed growth, as well. Broadleaf weeds, on the other hand, include those such as henbit, chickweed, and clover. Some, like wild violet and dandelion, can even flower.
Annual vs. perennial. Likewise, weeds can either be annual or perennial. If a weed is an annual, it can grow in several times throughout one year. If a weed is a perennial, it can come back year after year. These are typically harder to control because they can get strong roots established in your lawn. That means if you don’t treat or remove perennials from root to tip, they can – and will – come back.
Warm-season vs. cool season. Certain weeds grow best during certain times of the year. Warm-season weeds, for instance, develop during warmer temperatures. Cool-season weeds thrive during cooler times of the year. When treating your lawn for weeds, it’s important to consider growing season to ensure you apply products at the right time of the year.
