Why Weed Control Matters if You Want a\u00a0Healthy Lawn<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Weeds don’t need much to grow, just a little space, some key nutrients, and direct light. And\u00a0once they\u00a0get established, they can quickly spread, damaging your lawn\u00a0in the process. That’s\u00a0why, at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Orange County NY, we always recommend having a lawn weed control plan in place \u2013 so\u00a0you can stop weeds before they have a chance to develop. But first, for any efforts to be effective,\u00a0you need to know which weeds you’re up against.<\/p>\n

Generally, in the U.S., weeds are\u00a0either broadleaf or grassy. Broadleaf weeds have a wider, flat leaf and include purslane, chickweed, henbit, and clover. Some, like dandelion and wild violet, even flowers. Grassy weeds tend to resemble grass, with the most common being crabgrass. They also grow under the same conditions as grass. That means any lawn care you deliver could also benefit grassy weeds.<\/p>\n

In addition to being\u00a0broadleaf or grassy, weeds can be annual or perennial. Weeds that are annual are typically tracked into lawns as seeds by the wind or birds. They can grow in several times over the duration of one year. Perennials, conversely, typically last throughout many seasons. And if you don’t treat them, they can become more difficult to control as they spread and establish themselves in your lawn.<\/p>\n

Weeds can also grow during different seasons. For instance, cool-season weeds grow best in the cooler temperatures of fall through spring. Warm-season weeds instead\u00a0develop\u00a0during spring and summer.<\/p>\n
