A single clump of crabgrass \u2013 tall, sprawling and weedy \u2013 can do more than wreck the appearance of a well-maintained lawn. Crabgrass sets a lot of seeds. A single crabgrass plant can have 150,000 seeds. If even only 10% of those grow in your yard, you\u2019ve got 15,000 crabgrass plants growing. And each of those 15,000 crabgrass plants will set 150,000 seeds. It doesn\u2019t take long for crabgrass to overtake a yard.<\/p>\n
While your lawn mower may appear to be chopping crabgrass off before it can do any damage, we\u2019ve got bad news for you. Crabgrass may be one of the most stubborn plants on the planet. It is absolutely determined to survive and propagate. It will set seed even when it\u2019s cut putting green short.<\/p>\n
As a lawn care company in Carver, MA, we\u2019ve devoted ourselves to safe, science-based lawn care. This means understanding the nature and life cycle of problem plants like crabgrass. Crabgrass is an annual, which means each plant grows for a single season and then dies. That same plant won\u2019t return. Any crabgrass you see in the following year grew from the seeds of last year\u2019s crabgrass.<\/p>\n
The secret of getting rid of crabgrass is eliminating plants before they set seed. As part of our Fertilization and Weed Control service, we treat Carver area lawns 6 to 8 times throughout the growing season. Specially chosen pet and family friendly herbicides eliminate crabgrass and other broadleaf grasses before they set seed. It\u2019s the simplest, most stress-free way to enjoy a crabgrass free lawn all summer long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
