Throughout winter, you look forward to a lush, green lawn. But if it’s now growing in with widespread weeds, it’s certainly frustrating. The good news is that homeowners like you across Lower Merion, Brandywine, Garnet Valley, and other PA areas can achieve effective lawn weed control in the seasons ahead with a plan. In it, make sure you’re:
- Uncovering underlying conditions. Sometimes, issues like compaction or an imbalance in pH can contribute to issues with weeds. So check your soil by testing it and amending it with any necessary treatments.
- Identifying weed species. Different products are designed for different kinds of weeds. That’s why you first need to determine what you’re dealing with through proper identification.
- Timing control right. When it comes to applying products, make sure you’re getting timing right. For instance, broadleaf weeds are best treated with a post-emergent in fall when their storing up energy for winter. However, grassy weeds are ideally suppressed underground with a pre-emergent lawn weed control product during the Lower Merion area’s early spring season.
- Following directions precisely. Don’t ever apply more than what the directions say or deliver treatments at different times. You can not only create conditions where weeds become resistant to products, but actually cause turf damage.
- Keeping up with proper maintenance. A healthy yard requires regular attention. So make sure you’re mowing, watering, and fertilizing correctly. For instance, don’t remove more than a third of your grass during each cut and water deeply, yet infrequently. Also, when it comes to feeding your lawn, several applications are best. Start in early spring and apply another dose later in the season. Don’t fertilize again until temperatures cool down, late in summer or in early fall.
