How to Control Weeds in Your Lawn

Few things are more frustrating than taking care of your lawn only to see weeds pop up and take over. Whether you’re dealing with clover, dandelions, or other broadleaf invaders, weed control requires more than one-time treatment. It needs a consistent process.

At Farison Lawn Care, we know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to keeping weeds in check. Here’s what homeowners should know about controlling weeds properly.

What to Expect From Weed Treatments

When we treat your lawn for broadleaf weeds, we use a post-emergent product, which is designed to eliminate the weeds that are already present. It’s a targeted solution that works below the surface but doesn’t act overnight.

In most cases, you’ll start to see results after two mowings and two weeks. During that time, the product is working its way through the plant to kill it at the root. It’s essential to wait at least one hour before mowing, which can interfere with the process if done too soon. 

To stay ahead of weed problems, we also apply pre-emergent treatments earlier in the year. These work by creating a barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds, like crabgrass, from germinating in the first place. It’s one of the best ways to keep your lawn cleaner and healthier through the season.

Why Weed Control Isn’t One-and-Done

Weeds are persistent. Even after one round of treatment, new growth can appear. That’s because weed seeds are constantly being spread by wind, animals, and even your mower. A successful lawn care weed control strategy involves ongoing attention and follow-up treatments to keep new growth in check.

A healthy lawn also helps prevent weeds from taking hold in the first place. Thick, well-fed grass makes it harder for weeds to find space to grow. Consistent lawn care services, like fertilization and mowing at the right height, can make a huge difference.
