A healthy vigorous lawn usually has minor problems with broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover, but lawns that have been neglected or have been stressed due to lack of water or excessive shade are susceptible to weed invasion. Lawns that are near wild areas tend to have more serious problems with weeds due to seeds blowing in from those areas.

Weedy grasses such as Poa or “crab grass” will also invade lawns that are stressed and will make a lawn look spotty. Unfortunately, weedy grasses are almost impossible to control. Sometimes the best solution is to periodically kill the whole lawn and replant.

Broadleaf weed control is available as an “add on” to our lawn customers, as needed. We can perform these applications once or twice a year. Often we recommend two applications (spring and fall) the first year, but in future years, one treatment per year is enough.
