Professional control saves time and delivers better results
Call for FREE EstimateBroadleaf weeds have wide leaves and spread rapidly if untreated. Unlike crabgrass, these require different control methods. Here are the worst offenders:
Yellow flowers, white seed heads. Deep taproots (10+ inches) make hand-pulling ineffective.
Three-leafed patches with white flowers. Spreads through creeping stems, fixes own nitrogen.
Low rosettes with broad ribbed leaves. Tough fibrous roots, thrives in compacted soil.
Primary control season. Weeds actively growing, vulnerable to post-emergent herbicides. Selective products kill weeds without harming grass.
Most effective timing. Weeds transport nutrients to roots for winter. Herbicides kill more completely than spring-only treatments.
Most lawns need 2-3 applications per year (spring and fall) for complete control. Year one dramatically reduces populations; year two achieves near-complete control. Ongoing maintenance (1-2 annual treatments) keeps lawns weed-free long-term.
Yes, when applied correctly. Keep kids/pets off treated areas until dry (2-4 hours). Once dry, herbicides bond to leaves and pose minimal risk. Professional application is actually safer than DIY.
Fall (September-October) is most effective—herbicides travel to roots as weeds store winter nutrients. Spring (April-May) also excellent for actively growing weeds. Ideal control: treat both seasons. Avoid summer heat (85°F+).
Clover fixes its own nitrogen and thrives in under-fertilized lawns. Best control combines herbicide with improved fertilization. Treating spring and fall catches different growth phases. Our complete programs typically eliminate clover within one season.
