There are countless weed varieties out there, each posing a significant risk to your lawn. Breaking these numerous species down into two general categories can give you a better understanding of what you’re dealing with. Industry experts tend to think of weeds as falling into two groups: broadleaf and grassy. With our weed control service managing the growth of these plants on your lawn in Granger, you can trust that the best approach is being taken to limit the spread of each and protect your yard from the threats that they represent.
Addressing the Different Varieties of Weeds in Granger
Want to learn more about these common weed types? Here’s an overview of what you need to know about the main categories of invasive plants that could arise in your landscape.
Broadleaf Weeds
Living up to their name, broadleaf weeds produce broad, flat leaves that distinguish them from turfgrass and make them stand out like a sore thumb. Many also produce flowers which can be pretty in some contexts, but not when you’re trying to cultivate a uniform covering of green turfgrass.
So how can these weeds be stopped? We use carefully targeted post-emergent herbicides, which are absorbed by the plant’s wide leaves and then seep down into its root system, killing it off entirely. However, we can also take proactive measures against certain varieties through the application of pre-emergent treatments.
Grassy Weeds
Grassy weeds are sneakier than their broadleaf cousins, as they have the ability to conceal themselves within turfgrass. These plants look much like turfgrass and also grow under similar conditions. This makes it tricky to treat them without harming your lawn. Furthermore, their roots are quite extensive, so pulling them out by hand isn’t an option.
We solve this problem by stopping the germination of grassy weeds using pre-emergent formulas applied during just the right season. We can also conquer grassy weeds that have been allowed to mature using our post-emergent strategies.
