With so many different types of weeds, how can you effectively treat them all? One key is timing. And in areas like Toms River, Eatontown, Brick, Spring Lake, and Wall Township, NJ, fall is the prime season for lawn weed control from Lawn Doctor of the Jersey Shore. In fact, tackling weeds during these cooler months can lead to a lawn that’s lusher and healthier come spring and summer. Here’s why:
Knocks out perennials and annuals. With fall lawn weed control treatments, you can target a broad range of weed types common in the Toms River area. For instance, a fall treatment can drastically reduce the numbers of perennials – including dandelions, clover, plantain, and knotweed – you see emerging in your lawn in spring. Also, fall is a good time to focus on winter annuals, like henbit, chickweed, corn speedwell, and annual bluegrass.
Suppresses developing seedlings underground. With a pre-emergent treatment, you’re able to control weed seedlings as they’re developing in the soil. As a result, you’ll never see them emerge in your lawn come springtime. Instead, weed numbers will be drastically reduced so you can enjoy a healthier-looking yard.
Gets to weeds when they’re most vulnerable. Weeds are storing up energy during the fall to survive winter. That means when you apply a weed control product, it travels down from the leaves to the stem and into the root system, offering more effective treatment. In spring, however, energy flows up to support the growth of developing plants, making applications less effective.
Weakens weeds before winter. Even if you don’t kill every weed in your lawn this fall, you’ll weaken them significantly. This is right before New Jersey’s harsh winter weather hits. Weeds will, therefore, have a much tougher time surviving through.
