Weeds are common to almost every lawn. Weeds come in every package of grass seed with their amounts, depending on the quality of seed you purchase. If you have an existing lawn (most of us do), your lawn is probably already established and therefore you have to deal with what's there. To understand weeds, you need to realize that they are simply a part of lawn maintenance like mowing, watering, fertilizing, aerating, etc.

As previously stated, most lawns were seeded, sodded, etc., with grass containing some degree of weed and/or weed seed. Weeds can also come from water runoff, wind, your neighbor's yard, pests and pets, and even you!

Christmas Decor

Report

For many busy households, the holiday season is a time for family, friends, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, sometimes the brightness of the season can be dimmed by the task of designing and installing your holiday display.

Watering

Report

Sounds obvious, but lawns really do need watering, particularly during the dry summer months. Prolonged dry spells will slow up grass growth if the lawn maintenance program does not include proper watering. Deeper-rooted weeds will survive and outgrow grass struggling in drought conditions.

Lawn Aeration

Report

Like every living thing, grass needs air and water to grow and thrive. Simple lawn maintenance can make all the difference. During the summer months in particular, lawns suffer from continual use - be that children, sports, or BBQs - these all combine to cause surface compaction. Lawn maintenance is crucial to prevent damage.
