Types of weeds can be broken down into two categories:
Annuals – Annual lawn weeds emerge in the spring, spread their seed for the next year of growth, and then die in the winter. Common annual weeds including crabgrass, foxtail, goose grass, chickweed, dog fennel, black medic, prostrate knotweed, prostrate spurge, corn speedwell, henbit, and purslane.
Perennial – Perennial lawn weeds also begin growth in spring and spread their seed throughout the year, but they do not die out; emerging again year after year. Common perennial weeds include dandelions, wild violets, quack grass, yellow nutsedge, tall fescue, wild garlic, creeping speedwell, cinquefoil, creeping Charlie, and clover.
Whether you have a grassy weed or broadleaf weed problem will determine the best form of treatment. Grassy weeds are typically thin, long, leafy vines that grow vertically parallel to each other. Common grassy weeds are generally noticed after they’ve become a real problem and are not always easy to eradicate. Broadleaf weeds have a main vine with wide leaves and small wines branching off of it. While broadleaf weeds are not as difficult to get rid of as grassy weeds, they are best controlled when preventive measures are taken in early spring.
Oberndorfer Landscape Development has licensed and trained professionals who will identify your weed problem and create the best treatment plan.
Weed Control Cost
The cost of weed control depends on the size of your yard, chemicals required, and treatment method. The least expensive option for weed control is weed and feed which kills emergent weeds and fertilizes your grass. A mid-tier weed control solution is postemergence weed care which uses herbicides that kill weeds which have taken root in your yard. This method works best on weeds that are less than 4 inches in height. The most expensive solution is preemergence weed control. Herbicides are applied to your yard before weeds have a chamce to sprout. Preemergence herbicides are applied in early Spring or mid-Summer and requires a minimum of 1/2 inch of water to activate the chemicals.
