With lawn weed control service from Lawn Doctor of Middletown-Groton-Tolland-Torrington, our locally owned and operated company would like to share some helpful tips for helping keep your neighbors’ weeds out of your yard.
Tips For Preventing Weed Migration
Mulching. Cover any bare areas on your property with landscape fabric and at least two to three inches of a good wood or stone mulch. You may still get a weed here and there, but they will be easy to pull because the fabric prevents their roots from grabbing a deep hold.
Edging. Maintaining an actual edge between your lawns using steel or plastic edging material from a big box store can help. You could also create a natural edge by forming a small trench and filling that with mulch.
Hedges. Strong, thick hedges like arborvitae can prevent a large amount of wind-blown seeds from migrating to your lawn. Just make sure you put plenty of mulch underneath as well.
Fences. Of course, a chain link fence will not be helpful, but a strong privacy fence will do wonders to prevent any airborne seeds from making their way over.
Mowing. Keep your lawn consistently mowed to about a three-inch height, so weeds like dandelions never reach the height needed to sprout seeds.
