Weed Control

Our lawn care program includes weed control applications, which are strategically timed to prevent weeds from growing in the first place. These pre-emergent herbicides are applied during the spring and fall to prevent the seeds of invasive weeds, such as crabgrass, annual bluegrass (Poa annnua), and other annual weeds from sprouting. This is important because grassy weeds are difficult to control once they are established and they grow much faster than turf grasses, so they can eventually take over an entire lawn if left unchecked. Post-emergent herbicides are also applied when necessary to control perennial weeds, and summer and winter annual weeds that have sprouted.

Why Chooses Us?

Getting rid of pesky weeds can be challenging without the knowledge or experience of applying herbicides to your lawn. Lawn Beast uses research-based information and practical experience to determine the correct time and type of herbicides to apply during the year. We use high-quality, selective herbicides that will get rid of unwanted weeds that will not harm your grass. A lawn that is not crowded with weeds will ensure that it remains healthy throughout the changing of the seasons. While there is not one magic bullet that will eliminate all weeds, our certified professionals have the knowledge and experience to create a turf management plan that will make your lawn beautiful.

It's a Team Effort

You can expect to see visual results with Lawn Beast’s fertilization and weed control plan, however, other factors affect the overall health of your grass. Proper mowing and irrigation are the two most important cultural practices that affect turfgrass health. Grass should be cut at its recommended height (Zoysia: 1.5 - 3 in., Bermuda: 1.5 - 2.5 in., Fescue: 2.5 - 4 in.) and frequently enough to prevent scalping. This means cutting no more than one-third of the total leaf surface in a mowing. Generally, established turf grasses should be irrigated with ~ 1in. of water per week during the growing season and only if there is no rainfall. Overwatering can weaken grassroots, promote disease, and increase the weed population on the turf.
