How We Control Weeds in Houston Lawns
Lawn weeds can be tricky to deal with for several reasons, with one of the most significant reasons being the variability between different species. Different weeds have different strengths and weaknesses, which means that anything less than a careful, considered, and comprehensive approach can only produce limited results. Our treatments utilize several different techniques and products to ensure that all the weed populations in your lawn are effectively addressed.
There are many individual species of lawn weeds, but they can be broken down into two main categories:
Grassy Weeds
Grassy weeds can be particularly tricky to deal with for the average homeowner because of their characteristic underground stem systems. These stems allow grassy weeds to regrow through their active seasons if only the upper plant parts are removed. To keep grassy weeds out in the long run, our team targets the stems of grassy weeds with our advanced pre-emergent weed control treatments. Here are few of the common grassy weeds we address with these treatments:
- Goosegrass
- Crabgrass
- Doveweed
- Bermuda grass
Broadleaf Weeds
Because of their resilient construction, broadleaf weeds can be difficult to drive out without also harming your lawn. Many store-bought products that target broadleaf weeds can take a toll on your grass and other lawn plants if applied incorrectly. Our broadleaf weed control treatments were designed to be tough on weeds without putting your lawn’s health at risk. There are several common broadleaf weeds our technicians address, including:
- Plantain
- Dandelion
- Thistle
- Clover
No matter what weeds you are facing in your lawn, when you call in our team of lawn experts, we will use our techniques and products to help keep the weed population in your lawn at bay, year-round.
