Common Weeds Homeowners See in Local Lawns
Not all weeds are created equal. Some are grassy, while others are perennial. Some grow best during cool temperatures, while others favor warmer seasons. And though some weeds can seriously damage your lawn – competing with it for space, nutrients and sunlight – other kinds are relatively harmless.
With so many factors to consider, it can be hard for the average homeowner to figure out where to begin. But at Lawn Doctor of Royal Oak/Birmingham & Lawn Doctor of Southfield & Farmington, we know su
ccessful lawn weed control starts with identification. When it comes to local weeds, there are:
- Broadleaf. With wide, flat leaves, this weed type is easily noticeable in local lawns. Examples include dandelion, clover and wild violet.
- Grassy. This weed type, on the other hand, resembles grass so much it can be hard to spot. Not only that, but it also grows under the same conditions. Common kinds include crabgrass and goosegrass.
- Annual. Annual weeds like to grow back several times during one year. They often arrive in your lawn via seeds carried in by birds or the wind.
- Perennials. Perennial weeds are tougher to treat because they grow back season after season. This means they develop stronger, deeper roots in your lawn.
- Cool-season. These weeds grow best during seasons that are cooler, from fall through spring.
- Warm-season. Just as their name suggests, warm-season weeds favor spring and summer.
