The effective maintenance of a weed-free lawn can take quite a bit of time and effort. Chickweed, clover, dandelion, and other invasive weeds can take over large parts of your lawn in a relatively short amount of time, especially if your turf is thin and your soil is acidic, making them a threat that needs to be dealt with effectively. At Lawn Doctor of Grafton-Milford & Franklin-Foxboro, we utilize premium products and proven strategies to begin to reduce the volume of weeds on your lawn from year to year. With our effective weed control, pH balancing through Lime applications and fall seeding programs, we bring better-looking lawns to our neighbors.

Our Advanced Approach to Weed Control in Upton

A multi-faceted approach is required to deal with the different weeds in your lawn and reduce them year after year. Many of the run-of-the-mill weed control treatments out there produce limited results by only focusing on a few select species of active weeds. Our comprehensive approach targets a wide range of different weeds at several stages of their development. Here’s a closer look at the process we use to control weeds in Upton lawns:

Fertilization. One of the most important, yet most often overlooked, steps of keeping your yard free of weeds throughout the year is first making sure that it has all of the nutrients it needs to grow. Lawns lacking in nutrients are much more susceptible to a weed takeover than lawns that produce thick, full, and consistent growth. We utilize our fertilization treatments to boost your yard’s nutrient density and reinforce its natural defenses for lasting protection. Please note: Improving the nutrient content in the soil is a long and consistent process. It takes years, not just a few treatments, to improve a nutrient deficient soil. The best defense against weeds is a thick turf!

Pre-Emergent Weed Control. An effective and commonly-underutilized strategy for fighting weeds is addressing them before they pop up in your lawn in the first place. We apply our pre-emergent crabgrass weed control treatments during the first two applications of the season to reduce the weeds in your yard that are either lying dormant or are still in the early stages of development.

Broadleaf Weed and Crabgrass Control. Dealing with active weeds without causing damage to your grass and the other plants in your lawn can be tricky to manage on your own. Our broadleaf weed and crabgrass control treatments utilize advanced products and techniques to address active weeds while leaving the rest of your lawn unharmed.
