BLOG Year-Round Weed Control: Strategies from C & C Lawn Care Professionals Jul 03, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your lawn. At C & C Lawn Care and Maintenance, we understand the importance of year-round weed control to ensure a healthy and vibrant lawn. Our team of professionals has put together some strategies to help you keep those pesky weeds at bay throughout the year.

Spring is a critical time to kickstart your weed control efforts. This is when weeds start to emerge and compete with your grass for nutrients and sunlight. One of the most effective strategies in the spring is to apply a pre-emergent herbicide. This type of herbicide creates a barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating, giving your grass a competitive edge. Our experts recommend applying a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring, before the weeds have a chance to take hold.

In the summer months, it's important to stay vigilant and keep an eye out for any weeds that may pop up. Hand pulling weeds is a labor-intensive but effective method of weed control. Be sure to pull the weeds out by the root to prevent them from regrowing. Another strategy for summer weed control is to mow your lawn at the proper height. Keeping your grass taller shades the soil, making it more difficult for weeds to germinate and thrive.

As we transition into fall, it's a good idea to consider overseeding your lawn. Overseeding can help fill in bare spots and choke out weeds. It's also a good time to apply a broadleaf herbicide to target any persistent weeds. Our team can help you choose the right herbicide for your specific needs and ensure proper application.

Even in the winter months, weed control is important. Weeds may be dormant, but they can still be lurking beneath the surface, ready to emerge in the spring. Consider applying a winter herbicide to prevent weeds from establishing themselves during the colder months. This proactive approach can save you time and money in the long run.
