Addressing the Different Varieties of Weeds in West Broward
While countless weeds exist, they can all be placed into one of two categories: broadleaf or grassy. Here are some distinguishing factors of these plant types:
Grassy Weeds
Grassy weeds are known for their grass-like appearance and biological similarity to turfgrass species. This not only makes them hard to identify but can also present difficulties when treating them. For example, DIY weed control commonly does serious damage to turfgrass when it is intended to target grassy weeds. Professional weed control is essential for eliminating weed species such as crabgrass.
Broadleaf Weeds
Broadleaf weeds are easier to pinpoint thanks to the feature that gives them their name: their wide, flat leaves. In addition, these plants often produce flowers, such as in the case of the dandelion. Because you can usually identify these plants, you might be tempted to rip them out by the root. This isn’t the best approach, as you’ll likely leave behind pieces of the plant that will regenerate. Instead, opt for our pre-emergent treatments to help stop their development in the first place and post-emergents for neutralizing active weeds.
