Since temperatures have begun warming overall (we had a high in the 30's earlier in the week!) the weeds have really begun to take off. I enjoyed a walk with my kids over the weekend and snapped this picture of some broadleaf weeds in someone's yard.
The preemergent products that homeowners (and industry professionals alike) put down earlier in the season for annual grassy weeds, like crabgrass and foxtail, provide little control of broadleaf weeds. Weeds like those pictured above (dandelions, henbit and violets) must be treated as they appear.
If you want to control these weeds on your own, choose a product labeled for the specific weeds you need to control in your lawn. Whatever product you choose, make sure you apply the product when temperatures are above 40 degrees for best results. If you would like help controlling weeds in your lawn, contact a lawn service, like Ryan Lawn and Tree, in your area.
