What causes weeds to grow in my yard?

Weed seeds are transported by the wind, water, animals, and soil amendments. The weeds will spread across your entire property once they’re on the premises. You can grow them back even if you think they’re dead for good. The reason for this is that weeds may remain dormant in a lawn for several years before they begin to grow. To germinate, seeds need sunlight and moisture to reach the surface of the soil.

Having weeds on your property can negatively impact the health of your lawn, so it’s important to take care of them. Identifying common weeds and treating them properly will help you combat weed invasion. If you’re not sure what to do about weeds on your property, give us a call. We’d love to assist you.

Which Are The Most Effective Weed Control Methods?

In order to keep your lawn or garden healthy, weeds should be controlled before they reach a mature stage of growth. Herbicides are applied by hand, including soil cultivation, mulching, and spraying. Here are some common methods for controlling weeds.

By Hand

You can control weeds on your property by manually removing unwanted weeds with a lawn care tool or by hand. Below are some tips for using this method:

  • After a good rainfall, they are much easier to remove.
  • When weeds appear on your lawn, eliminate them immediately.
  • Remove the roots as much as possible from the base.
  • Grass forks, spikes, and slim trowels can be used to dig up thistles and dandelions, which have extensive roots.

By Herbicide

A manual weeding method isn’t practical for large areas or places where weeds are seriously overgrown. It is probably best to use herbicides in these instances. Herbicides are extremely effective when used correctly to fight weed invasions and eliminate weeds. Herbicides can be classified into two types:

  • Systemic herbicides penetrate the root system and treat the inside of the plant.
  • Contact herbicides kill from the outside and are absorbed into the plant. Plants are killed by contact herbicides when they contaminate the exposed parts of the plant and prevent the plant from photosynthesizing.

In addition to these two categories, weed control herbicides can also be selective or nonselective:

  • Selective herbicides only kill some plants. Using these products, you can remove weeds without damaging the surrounding lawn.
  • Nonselective herbicides kill any and all plants they come into contact with. Ideally, these should be used when preparing for a new lawn installation.

There are two kinds of herbicides, pre-emergent and post-emergent, and the moment in which they are applied is extremely important.

  • Pre-emergent herbicides are designed for application before the targeted weed germinates. It is an effective way to prevent weed growth. Herbicides are applied before plants emerge to form a chemical barrier that doesn’t kill established plants. These are best used as preventative measures. The protective barrier breaks down in six to eight weeks, so it is vital that the herbicide be deployed at the right time. It is preferable to apply it when applying pre-emergents. However, caution should be exercised since some garden plants and turf grasses may be harmed.
  • Post-emergent herbicides attack weeds that are already growing. All contact weed killers are post-emergents. Post-emergence herbicides are most effective applied later in the growing season after weeds have already started to grow but before they seed.

Organic Methods

Weed control using organic methods is safer for both family and pets. Children and pets who play on the lawn may come into contact with weed-killing chemicals. It is not uncommon for dogs and cats to chew on grass and plants, and ingesting dangerous compounds can have long-term effects. Cancer can sometimes be caused by chemical herbicides.

Herbicides based on chemical substances generally contain glyphosate as their main ingredient. Glyphosate is highly toxic to the environment. It accumulates in the soil. Cancer may result from prolonged exposure, as well as genetic mutations.

If these chemicals get into the groundwater, problems can arise. Herbicides leach into the soil and are eventually absorbed by the groundwater. The groundwater then flows to rivers, streams, and even into water reservoirs that we use to drink and for household purposes. This is why many customers opt for safe weed control methods.

Using organic compounds to kill weeds does not use this chemical, making them safer for both you and the environment. Your yard will be ready to enjoy immediately after weed control spraying. You can also use organic treatments to control weeds in your flower beds.

Weed control fabric is another organic, non-toxic option. Typically, it is used around shrub and tree bases. Plants buried in the soil underneath can’t sprout weed seeds if they are covered in weed control fabric. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to use harmful herbicides to control weeds.
