A\u00a0critical one for Portage, MI-area homeowners is fall lawn weed control. It targets certain weeds when they&#8217;re at their most susceptible, leaving behind a lawn that no longer has to compete to eat.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Weed Control: Types to Treat in Portage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-112 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/portage-mi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/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 Portage\" width=\"378\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/portage-mi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2016\/01\/annual-programs-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/portage-mi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2016\/01\/annual-programs.jpg 507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During fall, don&#8217;t just focus your lawn care efforts on raking leaves and bagging them up. Make sure you&#8217;re also treating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Winter annuals, such as purple deadnettle, henbit, and corn speedwell.<\/strong> These plants are just germinating and starting to grow. They&#8217;re still in the soil and have not yet emerged. As a result, they&#8217;re especially vulnerable to a pre-emergent lawn weed control treatment in Portage. When you apply one, you&#8217;ll stop the\u00a0development process, so the seedlings don&#8217;t make it through winter and mature into full-grown plants in the spring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perennials, like clover, bindweed, nutsedge, and\u00a0dandelion.<\/strong> These weeds are hard to get rid of because they live for several\u00a0years. As they continue to grow, they establish strong roots, making them tough to eradicate from your lawn. In autumn, though, they&#8217;re storing up food for Portage winter conditions, meaning\u00a0the post-emergent lawn weed control\u00a0product you apply will get absorbed by the plant and transported down into the root system. It&#8217;s a far more effective way to treat these weeds than\u00a0spring applications or hand removal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Beyond Lawn Weed Control in Portage: Other Treatments to Focus on in Fall<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fall provides the perfect opportunity to treat and control a wide variety of lawn weeds\u00a0in the Portage area. But if your soil or lawn are in poor health, then it&#8217;s likely weeds will\u00a0simply return. To ensure this doesn&#8217;t happen, consider other treatments beyond lawn weed control. Autumn is also an ideal season for aerating your soil, seeding your turf and feeding your lawn with fertilization. You&#8217;ll be able to get weeds out and then keep them away with a healthier, stronger, thicker\u00a0lawn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lawn Doctor of Kalamazoo-Portage MI offers free lawn weed control consultations to local customers throughout the area.
