How Do Professional Landscapers Get Rid Of Weeds?

Professional landscapers use a strategic approach to weed control, applying pre-emergent treatments in spring and fall to help prevent weeds from sprouting. Spring applications target summer weeds like crabgrass, while fall treatments address winter weeds such as chickweed. For existing weeds, landscapers utilize post-emergent treatments, directly targeting and killing visible weeds. Additionally, they incorporate fertilization throughout the year, providing essential nutrients to promote thick, healthy grass growth. This dense growth naturally crowds out weeds, reducing their presence. By combining these methods, landscapers ensure a vibrant, weed-free lawn in Tennessee all year round.

Professional Landscapers Use Pre-Emergent Weed Control Treatments in The Spring & Fall

Pre-emergent weed control is a proactive measure that prevents newly germinated weeds from emerging on your lawn and stops their continued growth. Professional landscapers typically apply pre-emergent treatments in the spring and fall to target different types of weeds that emerge during these seasons.

In the spring, pre-emergent treatments are applied to prevent the growth of summer weeds, such as crabgrass and goosegrass. These treatments create a barrier in the soil that inhibits weeds from breaking through the soil. By addressing weed issues before they become visible, landscapers help maintain a pristine lawn throughout the warmer months.

Similarly, fall pre-emergent treatments target winter weeds like chickweed and henbit. These treatments ensure that your lawn remains weed-free during the cooler months, allowing your grass to survive dormancy without pesky weeds competing for nutrients.

Professional landscapers use post-emergent weed control treatments in summer to get rid of weeds.

In addition to pre-emergent treatments, professional landscapers utilize post-emergent weed control to tackle existing weeds. Post-emergent treatments are typically applied in the summer when weeds are actively growing. These treatments are designed to target weeds that have already emerged and are competing with your grass for resources.

Post-emergent treatments are applied directly to the foliage of weeds, where they are absorbed and transported to the roots, effectively killing them. This approach ensures that even the most stubborn weeds are eliminated, allowing your grass to regain its strength and vitality. In some cases, landscapers may also apply post-emergent treatments in the fall if needed. This ensures that any late-season weeds are addressed before they have a chance to spread and cause further damage to your lawn.

Professional landscapers also use fertilization during the year to help lawns crowd out weeds.

While weed control is essential, promoting healthy grass growth is equally important for maintaining a lush, vibrant lawn. Professional landscapers typically incorporate fertilization into their lawn care programs to provide your grass with the nutrients it needs to thrive.

Fertilizer treatments are applied throughout the year to support your lawn's growth and resilience. Fertilizers contain essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which promote strong root development, vibrant green color, and increased resistance to stressors like drought and disease. By providing your lawn with the nutrients it needs, fertilizer treatments help your grass grow thick and dense, effectively crowding out weeds. A healthy, dense lawn is better equipped to resist weed invasion, reducing the need for extensive weed control measures.
