One of the most important jobs for homeowners in the\u00a0Wilmington, NC area involves lawn weed control. When you take a proactive approach now, you can set your yard up for a more successful growing season in the weeks and months ahead. Here are\u00a0a look at a few steps to consider implementing in your treatment plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Treat weeds before they emerge. <\/strong>Early spring is the ideal time in the Wilmington area to use a pre-emergent lawn weed control product on your lawn,\u00a0 to stop weeds from germinating. Your treatments should be applied in early spring before soil temperatures consistently hit the 65-degree mark.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Target those you&#8217;re already seeing.<\/strong> Once you start seeing weeds, you can suppress them with a post-emergent product. Wait until they&#8217;re actively growing, but haven&#8217;t dropped seed yet. The optimal time to treat them is just after rainfall when the product will stick to leaves and get better absorbed into the root system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aerate compacted soil. <\/strong>When you&#8217;re seeing a large population of\u00a0certain types of weeds, particularly dandelion, plantain, and chickweed, it can indicate compacted soil. These weeds tolerate the condition, while your grasses don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s therefore important to break up compacted soil through aerating so more oxygen, water, and nutrients can flow to and strengthen grass roots. This process also cuts through heavy surface thatch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focus on good maintenance practices. <\/strong>When your yard is healthy, it will better defend itself against weeds.\u00a0To achieve this, one\u00a0of the most important steps to take\u00a0is with proper mowing. Focus on the one-third rule, never removing more than that amount at a time.\u00a0You should also fertilize your lawn in spring with a slow-release product that breaks down slowly, delivering a steady stream of\u00a0nourishment\u00a0over several weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Wilmington&#8217;s\u00a0Lawn Weed Control Team:\u00a0Leave\u00a0the Work to Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sit back and relax this spring and in the growing season ahead by letting Lawn Doctor of Wilmington take charge of lawn weed control and other lawn treatments.
