There is something soothing about seeing an even span of green grass that seems to lower our blood-pressure a bit. And to some people, when that span is broken up by unwanted weeds, it seems to raise it a notch or two. Some broadleaf weeds are very intrusive and fast growing. Their growth habit overtakes our cultivated turf plants, depriving them of food and water
Some common lawn weeds are annuals. Sprouting from seeds, they develop, blossom and form new seeds, then die in the fall, repeating the process each year. Crabgrass is one such weed. Once these types of weeds take root, they are difficult to remove without harming the lawn. The ideal control for crabgrass is a pre-emergent suppression that prevents the weed from germinating. The soil's surface is covered with a thin protective layer that prevents any germinating seeds from taking hold. If left undisturbed, this protective layer will maintain its defensive qualities throughout the prime germinating period. This is when most weed seeds will normally start developing. Of course, there is no 100% guarantee that additional seeds won't be carried in by winds, birds, or any number of other methods.
As for other types of broadleaf weeds, a post emergent control is recommended. Treatments are applied to an actively growing plant and are absorbed through the leaf and root profile. Our technicians are trained to identify these weeds, and chose the right product to eradicate them. This is the preferred method for controlling most broadleaf type weeds.
Pro-Grass provides weed control services throughout the entire season to keep your lawn green and thick and free of weeds.
