Weeds refer to unwanted plants that grow alongside your desired grass or vegetation. Common examples of weeds that might invade a lawn include:

1. Dandelion: Recognizable by its bright yellow flowers and distinctive puffball seed heads.
2. Clover: Often identified by its three-lobed leaves and small white or pink flowers.
3. Chickweed: Characterized by small, delicate leaves and tiny white flowers.
4. Thistle: Known for its spiny leaves and often tall, erect growth habit.

They love to target weak grass or area where there is no grass. They do not like competition for nutrients. On the other hand, healthy grass can choke a single or a few weeds that might pop up during the season because grass is dominant.

Weed Control

Weed control involves implementing a comprehensive strategy to manage the proliferation of weeds, which are considered pests in lawns. This program aims to curtail their spread by employing various available methods to eliminate them from the lawn. An effective weed control program is sustained year after year and typically includes the following objectives:

1. Primary Treatment: This initial phase addresses all weeds present on the lawn, effectively targeting their removal.
2. Follow-up Care: Subsequent treatments are conducted to address any new weed growth that may emerge, ensuring ongoing control.
3. Nutrient Enrichment: Introducing essential nutrients to the lawn promotes the strength and resilience of the grass throughout different seasons, reducing the need for chemical intervention. This approach encourages the lawn to thrive naturally, empowering it to resist weed invasion autonomously.
