Weed Control

A lawn full of weeds signals more problems than just weeds. Most weed problems are related to the topsoil's health and condition, and the vitality of the turf grass. Occasional weeds in a healthy looking lawn are to be expected. Weed seeds arrive on your property on a breeze or perhaps an animal or bird depositing them. Wherever they come from, we will spot treat for those as they arrive.

Other weeds such as crabgrass are best treated before they take a foothold. We take special precautions by putting down a pre-emergent application that knocks out these types of weeds.

Broadleaf Weeds

CHICKWEED: an annual broadleaf weed that germinates during the fall, grows during the winter, produces seed and then dies by early summer. Enhanced Lawn & Tree can control this weed with a pre-emergence weed control applied in early fall.

CLOVER: a perennial broadleaf weed that usually sprouts in the fall. Established patches can be controlled with a post-emergence broadleaf weed control spray. May be applied any time during the active growing season.

DANDELIONS: a broadleaf weed that flowers from early spring through summer. Established plants can be controlled with a post-emergent weed control that can be applied any time during the active growing season.

GROUND IVY: spreads quickly during the season. It's rapid growth will quickly choke-out desirable grass plants. We can control it with a spot treatment any time during the growing season.

HENBIT: an annual broadleaf weed that sprouts in the fall and grows through the winter and early spring. Can be controlled with a special pre-emergence weed control applied during early fall.

WILD ONION : a perennial broadleaf weed that grows during the cooler months of the year. Can be controlled with a post-emergence broadleaf weed control spray applied on a warm winter day. Wild Onions and Wild Garlic may require repeated treatments for complete removal.

Grassy-type Weeds

Many grassy-type weeds can be controlled by a preemergent herbicide if applied at the right time of the year.

ANNUAL BLUEGRASS: Is an annual grassy-type weed that germinates during the fall, grows during the winter, produces seed and then dies in early summer. Enhanced Lawn & Tree can control this weed with our special pre-emergence weed control applied in early fall.

CRAGRASS: crabgrass begins to germinate in early spring and grows throughout the summer. We can control this with a pre-emergence weed control if applied in late winter.
