As a result, homeowners across the Madison, WI area tend to focus on lawn weed control efforts during this time of the year. However, for many kinds of stubborn and invasive weeds, there&#8217;s a different season that provides more effective control: fall. Here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Weed Control: Why Fall is Prime Time in Madison<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-112\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-wi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/annual-programs-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Father and daughter playing ball on a green lawn with trees in background showing lawn weed control in Madison\" width=\"340\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-wi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/annual-programs-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-wi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/annual-programs.jpg 507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When most people think of autumn, changing leaves and cooler temperatures\u00a0come to mind. However, fall is also the time of year in the Madison area when several types of weeds are at their most vulnerable, making lawn weed control more effective. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Winter annuals.<\/strong> From corn speedwell and henbit to purple deadnettle and hairy bittercress, fall pre-emergent treatments are especially potent\u00a0against these kinds of winter annuals. This is the point in the year when they&#8217;re germinating and developing into full-grown\u00a0plants. As a result, when you hit them with a pre-emergent \u2013 specifically designed to halt the development process \u2013 it&#8217;s at a point when they&#8217;re fragile and more susceptible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perennials. <\/strong>Perennials are notoriously stubborn and hard to get rid of in\u00a0lawns across Madison and throughout Wisconsin. That&#8217;s because\u00a0unless you remove them at the root, they&#8217;ll keep growing back, year after year. But when you target them with a lawn weed control treatment in fall, you&#8217;ll be able to take advantage of the time of year when they&#8217;re taking in energy and storing it up. Therefore, the products you apply will\u00a0get absorbed,\u00a0flow down into the taproot, and kill off the plant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While you might not\u00a0see immediate results in your lawn from fall treatments, come spring time, you&#8217;ll notice fewer winter annuals and perennials popping up and spreading. What&#8217;s more is that your lawn can then grow in thicker and lusher, without interference from these weeds that compete\u00a0with it for vital nutrients and water.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Beyond Lawn Weed Control: Other Treatments to Focus on in Madison<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During fall in Madison, lawn weed control is critically important. But so are a variety of other lawn care treatments. These include aerating and seeding to break up compaction and thicken up thinning turf. It also includes fertilization to provide your grass with the nutrients it needs to tolerate harsh winter conditions and grow back stronger, thicker and greener in spring.
