At Lawn Doctor of Greater Oxford, we work hard every day to help homeowners grow thick, lush lawns they can take pride in. One of the most important features of lawn care is weed control. If you live in the Newtown area, we can help you control invasive weed species, helping your lawn look it’s best season after season.
Common Weeds Found in the Newton Area
Before we can talk about effective weed control strategies, we need to be able to identify and understand the types of weeds found in your yard, and even your neighbors’ yards. Yes, you read that correctly. The weeds you see growing in your neighbor’s yard can impact your own lawn. The seeds from other yards can spread during windy days, so understanding common weed types found throughout the Newtown area can help us to keep weeds from growing in your lawn.
Let’s look at a few of the most common types of weeds found in our local area:
- Nutsedge – This common weed causes problems in many lawns due to it’s rapid growth. Found most commonly in yellow and purple varieties, nutsedge likes waterlogged soil and can be an indication your lawn is being overwatered.
- Ground Ivy – While some homeowners may not mind the ground cover like appearance of this common weed, ground ivy is quite invasive and can quickly grow in areas with exposed dirt. Mowing too low can also create an environment where this weed can thrive.
- Dandelion – The most common and easily recognized lawn weed, dandelion is particularly hard to control because each plant can produce upwards of 20,000 seeds per year! Regular weed control applications are best used to control this prevalent weed.
These are just three of the weeds commonly found in our local area. There are many more. To control weeds, it’s essential that you work with a proven professional like Lawn Doctor of Greater Oxford. Our knowledge of the local climate, growing conditions, and weeds makes it easy for us to identify and treat any weeds growing in your yard.
