\u201cThe grass in my yard looks a little sad, and I get it \u2013 fertilizer would definitely help,\u201d Michael said. \u201cBut if I go ahead and have the Plympton lawn service fertilize the lawn, won\u2019t all the clover and dandelions and crab grass just get stronger too?\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a good question. The quick and incomplete answer is yes, fertilizing the lawn will encourage everything that\u2019s growing there, including weeds, to flourish. But fertilizing isn\u2019t the entirety of good lawn care. If you want to achieve beautiful green grass, and say goodbye to all of those pesky weeds, you need another step.<\/p>\n
That step? Weed control. The biggest offender, at least here in the Plympton area, is definitely crab grass. Crab grass spreads so quickly because one plant can start another hundred plants growing, easily. To reliably eliminate crab grass, you have to get rid of it before it grows. That\u2019s a treatment called Pre-Emergent Weed Control. Using a pet and family safe product, your Plympton lawn service gets rid of the crabgrass and other broad leafed weeds in your yard before they even have a chance to grow.<\/p>\n
Because weed seeds can be carried by wind, birds, animals, and even travel on people\u2019s clothing and shoes, weed control is not a one-and-done situation. Your local lawn service offers weed control services delivered strategically with your fertilization treatments. In this part of Massachusetts, most homes choose fertilizing three times a year \u2013 spring, mid-summer, and late fall \u2013 with weed treatment scheduled accordingly.<\/p>\n
Weed control application is done strategically, to avoid damaging your flower beds, foundation plantings, vegetable and herb gardens, and any native pollinator gardens you may have. We work closely with homeowners to identify areas to exempt from the weed control treatment, so your special plants aren\u2019t impacted. After all, a weed is just a flower growing where it isn\u2019t wanted. If you want the flowers there, we\u2019ll make sure they stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
