Get rid of weeds without killing your lawn
Dandelions, clover, crabgrass, and creeping charlie are the biggest offenders in central New Hampshire. They spread fast in summer and most homeowners end up pulling them by hand or spraying products that burn the grass along with the weeds.
We use selective herbicides that target weeds without damaging the surrounding turf. Timing matters. Crabgrass needs pre-emergent treatment in early spring before it germinates. Broadleaf weeds respond best to post-emergent application in late spring and early fall when they are actively growing.
Common weeds we treat
- Crabgrass: Pre-emergent barrier in early spring prevents germination. Post-emergent spot treatment for breakthrough.
- Dandelions: Broadleaf herbicide application in spring and fall. Targets the root system, not just the top growth.
- Clover and creeping charlie: Persistent broadleaf weeds that spread through runners. Requires targeted treatment and improved lawn density.
- Plantain and thistle: Common in compacted soils. Often paired with aeration to address the root cause.
Weed control works best as part of a full lawn care program. A thick, healthy lawn is the best defense against weeds coming back. We typically combine weed treatment with our fertilization program for the best results.
