HOW DO WEEDS GET IN MY YARD?

Weed seeds can be transported by wind, water, animals, soil amendments, or even poor quality grass seed. Once they’re in your property, the weeds will spread around. Even if you think they are gone for good, they can grow back again. This is because weeds can remain dormant in a lawn for up to several years before they begin to grow. The seeds need to reach the soil’s surface and get proper sunlight and moisture before they can germinate.

The health of your lawn can be greatly impacted by the weeds on your property, so how you choose to control them is very important. You’re best equipped to fight weed invasion when you can identify common weeds and know the correct way to treat that specific type. Give us a call if you’re unsure about the weeds on your property. We’d be happy to help.

WEED CONTROL BY HAND

Manually removing unwanted weeds by hand or with lawn care tools is the most selective and environmentally friendly way to control weeds on your property. Here are some tips to keep in mind when using this method:

• It is exponentially easier to remove them after a good rainfall.
• Attack a weed as soon as it appears on your lawn.
• Pull from the base, lifting out as much root as possible.
• For larger weeds with extensive roots such as thistles or dandelions, use a garden fork, spike or slim trowel.

ORGANIC WEED CONTROL

Organic weed control is safer for both family and pets. If you have children and pets that play on the lawn, then they are likely to come in contact with weed-killing chemicals. Dogs and cats chew grass and plants, and ingesting dangerous compounds can have long-term consequences. Some chemical herbicides can cause cancer.

A main ingredient in many chemical based herbicides is glyphosate. Glyphosate can cause many problems in the environment. This chemical weed control accumulates in the soil. Being around it for an extended time can result in cancer and even genetic mutations.

Problems can occur when these chemicals get into the groundwater. The herbicides seep into the soil and, eventually, get into the groundwater. The groundwater then flows to rivers, streams, and even into water reservoirs that we use for drinking and household use. Because of this, many customers opt for biosafe weed control.

Organic compounds used to kill weeds don’t use this chemical, making them safer for your family and the environment. And you can enjoy your yard immediately after a weed control spray application. Organic treatments are also a good option when controlling weeds in your flower beds.

Another organic, non toxic option is weed control fabric. This is commonly used around the base of shrubs and trees. Weed control fabric prevents weed seeds buried in the soil beneath from sprouting. It also limits the need to use harmful herbicides for weed control.
