At Lawn Doctor of Royal Oak/Birmingham & Lawn Doctor of Southfield/Farmington, we recommend starting lawn weed control services in Birmingham early in the year. Instead of letting weeds sprout and then taking action, we can actively prevent them from growing with pre-emergent treatments.
These treatments work best in the early stages of growth, so it’s best to apply your first treatment before weeds take root in the soil. By applying your first treatment in early spring, we can protect your lawn against springtime weeds, give your turf the chance to recover from winter, and make weed control easier for the rest of the year.
How Our Lawn Weed Control Services Work
Our lawn weed control services for the Birmingham area include pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments. With pre-emergent treatments, we can stop weeds from growing. With post-emergent treatments, we can target and eliminate weeds that have already grown.
Whenever possible, we strive to stop weeds from growing, rather than waiting for them to grow and then take action. That’s why we strongly recommend pre-emergent treatments as part of your lawn’s care plan.
By starting pre-emergent treatments in early spring, you can block springtime weeds and help turf recover from winter.
Here’s a quick look at how these treatments work, why we recommend starting the treatments in early spring, and what they offer for your turf.
- How do pre-emergent treatments work? Pre-emergent treatments stop new weeds from growing by disrupting weeds early in the growth cycle, either by stopping seeds from germinating or preventing seedlings from growing.
- Why should I start pre-emergent treatments in early spring? In Birmingham, weeds typically start to grow in mid-April. If you want to prevent springtime weeds, you’ll want to get started with treatments in late March or early April.
- How will pre-emergent treatments impact my turf? Pre-emergent treatments will stop new weeds from growing, but they won’t damage existing plants, including your grass. By blocking springtime weeds, treatments can protect turf as it recovers from winter.
