Addressing the Different Varieties of Weeds in Yukon
There are many qualities that can differentiate one weed species from another. In general, plants known as weeds typically fall into either the category of broadleaf weeds, or the category of grassy weeds. Learn more about this categorization below.
Grassy Weeds
Grassy weeds are plants that look quite a bit like turfgrass and also share many biological similarities with it. The fact that they resemble turfgrass may seem like a blessing, since they don’t stick out like a sore thumb, unlike broadleaf weeds. However, this resemblance also gives these plants a head start on gaining territory. By the time you notice their presence, they could be well on their way to taking over your yard.
Grassy weeds are also a headache for homeowners because they are challenging to treat using DIY methods. Pulling them out by hand rarely ends in success since their root systems are so deep and extensive. Furthermore, conducting DIY treatments can all too easily harm the surrounding turfgrass.
Broadleaf Weeds
In contrast to grassy weeds, broadleaf weeds are easy to distinguish from turfgrass. They produce the wide, flat leaves that give them their name, and many are also known for producing flowers. As with any other weeds, they can be problematic for your turf because they steal its nutrients and take up root space in the soil.
