Controlling Weeds In Your Lawn

How Do I Control Weeds In My Lawn?


Effective weed control is essential for maintaining a healthy, vibrant lawn.  Proper fertilization, watering and maintenance will allow your lawn to form a dense turf that'll crowd out most weeds organically, however proactive weed management with pre-emergent and post-emergent controls will provide significant benefits.

Key Benefits of Controlling Weeds


  • Reduced Competition for Resources - Weeds rob water, nutrients and sunlight from your lawn.  Keeping weeds at bay will allow your lawn to grow thicker, more dense and vigorous; creating a stronger lawn overall.
  • Improved Curb Appeal A weed-free lawn looks uniform, lush and professionally manicured.  This boosts your curb appeal and will make your yard the envy of the neighborhood!
  • Better Turf Health & Resilience - A dense, weed-free lawn will naturally suppress future weed growth by leaving less open spaces and light for invasive weeds to thrive.  A healthy lawn is also more drought-tolerant, disease resistant and recovers faster from foot/machine traffic.
  • Easier Long-Term Maintenance - Consistent weed control, especially with pre-emergent applications, will prevent weed seeds from germinating.  This reduces the amount and frequency of post-emergent spot-treatment chemicals needed to apply, which are more toxic to the environment.  Fewer chemicals = healthier planet.

Getting the most out of your fertilizer

Why Does My Lawn Need Fertilizer?


Fertilizing your lawn is one of the most effective ways to achieve that thick, vibrant, dark-green turf that homeowners love.  Bermuda lawns, in particular is a high-performance grass with substantial nutrient needs. Without regular fertilizer feedings your lawn will struggle to deliver the impressive results that you desire as it'll just survive rather than thrive.

Key Benefits of Lawn Fertilizer


  • Dramatic improvement in color - Nitrogen-rich fertilizers quickly turn your lawn a deep, lush green appearance.  
  • Faster, thicker growth and density Consistent feeding promotes vigorous growth, fills in thin spots and creates a denser turf that is capable of crowding out weeds naturally.
  • Stronger Roots and better stress tolerance - Balanced nutrients, including potassium, build robust root systems.  This improves drought resistance, heat tolerance and quicker recovery from wear and winter dormancy.
  • Enhanced overall health and disease resistance - Properly nourished lawns are less susceptible to diseases, pests and environmental stress when combined with proper mowing and watering practices.
  • Quicker Spring Green-Up - A late-winter or early-spring application helps your lawn wake up faster and stronger after dormancy.
