But what if your best efforts aren&#8217;t working? It could be due to other weaknesses in your lawn.\u00a0For instance, some of the most common problems that cause weeds include watering and mowing incorrectly,\u00a0soil compaction and poor drainage,\u00a0excessive thinning in spots,\u00a0and nutrient deficiencies or other soil quality issues. What should you do?<\/p>\n<p>To avoid these and other challenges, it&#8217;s important to create a treatment plan. Part\u00a0of it includes proper identification of weeds, as well as pre- and post-emergent applications. But it also includes dealing with contributing factors, so the infestation doesn&#8217;t return. This includes by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Assessing the condition of your soil to look for issues, like compaction and\u00a0nutrient gaps.<\/strong> When the base your yard grows in is healthy and well-balanced, roots can develop deeper and\u00a0grass can sprout up thicker, providing more weed resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mowing your grass to the right height, never removing more than a third each time.<\/strong> Otherwise, it will limit your lawn&#8217;s energy reserves, as well as allow weed seedlings to absorb more sunlight and water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watering deeply and infrequently to promote deeper roots. <\/strong>Light watering, on the other hand, encourages a shallow root system, putting your entire lawn at risk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seeding your lawn in bare spots and thinning areas. <\/strong>This will help to\u00a0improve turf density and create conditions where weeds can&#8217;t break through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you have a more favorable growing environment\u00a0in your yard, defenses and stress tolerance will be stronger. That means you can say good-bye to serious infestations of not only weeds, but other invaders, like pests and diseases.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Roanoke&#8217;s\u00a0Lawn Weed Control Team:\u00a0Leave\u00a0the Job to Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Targeting and suppressing weeds is one of those lawn care tasks\u00a0that&#8217;s ongoing.
