Weed Control

Weed Killers need to be applied at the proper time at the proper rates to achieve satisfactory weed management. It is important to target the chosen weeds with the correct herbicide. Also some weeds can be effectively controlled with herbicides, some cannot... We know the difference, and will inform you of alternative means of control. We use some herbicides that provide pre-emergent control and others that will kill existing weeds. We have two main target times to manage most weeds- in the Spring and in the Fall. Herbicides used in the Spring can control emerging warm season weeds and those in the Fall can help prevent cool season weeds that grow through the Winter. High temperatures (over 80 degrees) prevent us from spraying some of the best herbicides because they can injure the lawn when used during hot weather.
