Did you know that there are numerous grassy weeds that can threaten the health of your lawn? Crabgrass can invade thinning turf or bare spots on your yard, quackgrass spreads with speed, and goosegrass can easily thrive in compacted soil. While grassy weeds can be hard to stop on your own due to their similarity to turfgrass, you can count on the weed control service offered by Lawn Doctor of South Shore to protect your residential landscape in Hanson. Explore some facts about grassy weeds below, as well as our approach to getting rid of them.
Learn More About Grassy Weeds
You don’t have to become an expert in the growth and behavior of various weed species in order to protect your lawn. You can rely on our local technicians for that level of expertise. However, it is good to have a broad understanding of grassy weeds and why they are such a problem for lawns in the local community. Here’s a look at some core facts about these weeds:
- Where they get their name. The origins of the name of grassy weeds is simple. These are invasive plants that look like grass and share many of the same biological structures. While this means that they cause less of an eyesore on your lawn than, say, dandelions, they can also fly under the radar until you have a rampant infestation on your hands.
- Characteristics of their growth. Several common grassy weed species are known for their ability to produce deep root systems that are hard to remove. This means that if you try to manually get rid of grassy weeds the way you might with certain broadleaf plants, you’ll probably only see them make an aggressive return.
- Why DIY treatments often go wrong. If you attempt to treat grassy weeds on your own, you may accidentally harm your turfgrass. Because these invasive plants and turfgrass are so similar, they can both be killed by certain treatment methods. Instead, have our team carefully target weeds while preserving the health of your grass.
