LAWN WEEDS CONTROL TREATMENTS<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Weeds are definitely unsightly, but they are also harmful to your yard because they compete with grass and other plants for moisture, nutrients, light and space.<\/p>\n

To control broadleaf weeds<\/a><\/b> such as dandelion, clover and thistle, apply a post-emergence herbicide, which is absorbed into the leaves and is circulated down into the root system. However, this doesn\u2019t prevent the seeds from germinating and re-infesting a lawn.<\/p>\n

Proper fertilization<\/b><\/a>, mowing and irrigation encourage grass to grow in quickly and prevent weed growth. Lawn Doctor can help you develop a total weed treatment and prevention solution.<\/p>\n

Crabgrass<\/a><\/b> is a grassy weed<\/a><\/b>, best controlled in the spring, before the weeds germinate. Germination occurs when the soil is above 65 degrees (also the time when forsythias and lilacs bloom).<\/p>\n

While hot dry weather encourages crabgrass, a well-maintained lawn that is properly fertilized, watered and mowed rarely has crabgrass<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Your Local Lawn Doctor can provide you with a Pre-emergent Weed Control<\/a><\/b> <\/b>treatment to prevent weeds like crabgrass from showing up in your lawn.<\/p>\n

LAWN DISEASES CONTROL TREATMENTS<\/h1>\n

<\/h2>\n

Discolored and spotted grass leaves may be a sign of disease. Lawn diseases, such as leaf spots<\/b>, snow mold<\/b><\/a> or spring dead spot<\/b>, are caused by fungi. The best way to prevent lawn diseases are to keep your lawn healthy with proper mowing, watering and fertilizing.<\/p>\n

If you notice lesions on your grass blades, particularly during cool weather, you might have leaf spots<\/b>. In the summer months, the fungus infects the blades, spreads to the base of the plant and kills it. Applying a series of fungicide treatments – or calling Your Local Lawn Doctor<\/b> to do it for you – will protect your lawn from devastating injury.<\/p>\n

Snow mold<\/a><\/b> is a fungus that develops in wet, cool weather and can be destructive under snow or after prolonged rain.<\/p>\n

Serious snow mold<\/b> infection can lead to crown and root rotting, so contacting a lawn diseases treatment professional like Lawn Doctor can help prevent widespread lawn damage.<\/p>\n

While raking matted spots will encourage circulation and encourage lightly infected areas to repair themselves, seriously affected areas require may require reseeding<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Bermuda grass is susceptible to spring dead spot<\/b>. Caused by fungi, the disease rots shoots and roots, manifested as brightened dead spots as grass emerges from dormancy.<\/p>\n

If you already have lawn diseases like\u00a0dead spots<\/b>, Lawn Doctor will provide the right treatment to help your lawn recover.<\/p>\n
