If there’s anything more annoying than weeds sprouting up throughout your Gainesville lawn, it’s pulling each of those weeds. It might even seem like the old wives’ tale about pulling gray hairs applies to weeds: pull one weed and two more grow back. But if you time your weed pulling or weed control program applications right, you should see a decrease in the following season.
Lawn care specialists advise that if your Gainesville lawn is comprised of 50% or more weeds, then it’s time for new sod installation or plugs. But if you haven’t quite hit that limit (even if sometimes it seems that way), then you just need to strategize your weed control and come up with an effective battle plan to take your lawn back.
For optimal weed prevention, Gainesville lawn care experts recommend weeding in the spring and fall when they’re at their weakest point. During the spring, all plants are gearing up to grow- even weeds. But, if you're tired of pulling weeds and want a better plan than removing them by hand, pre-emergent weed control is the way to go.
The better option, Gainesville lawn treatment experts recommend, is treating the weeds with liquid pre-emergent controls, and then working to eradicate the existing weeds. The old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" works in lawn care too. This service eradicates the weed seeds before they germinate, minimizing the number of weeds that pop-up i spring and summer.
