Why Do Weed Control Services Matter?

While weeds can appear harmless initially, they quickly become a threat, depleting the essential nutrients, water, and sunlight your lawn receives by hogging these resources. These invasive plants spread and outcompete grass, which leaves your turf weak and more vulnerable to pests and unkind weather conditions. In Columbus's humid climate, fast-spreading species like crabgrass, dandelions, and nut grass are the common culprits. Routinely scheduled weed control is essential to have to maintain both the health and visual appeal of your lawn and keep these weeds at bay.

Types of Weed Control We Offer

At Columbus Lawn Care Pros, we use a complete and integrated approach to effectively keep your lawns across Columbus, IN, weed-free. Our team uses both pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control treatments to take care of current weeds in your lawn as well as minimize future growth. Pre-emergent treatments create a barrier in your soil which stops weed seeds from sprouting and interrupting their germination process, while post-emergent treatments target already established weeds, killing them at the root so that your turf can be healthy, while looking uniform and neat throughout.

Pre-emergent weed control is a preventive measure our lawn care workers apply to the soil that stops weed seeds from germinating. How does it work? Once sprayed, it takes a few hours for the treatment to reach the surface of your soil. It then connects to form a protective barrier on your soil's surface that disrupts any early weed growth, as well as disrupting weeds sprouting through the soil's surface. This is one of the most effective methods for controlling future weed growth in Columbus, IN, and does a great job at keeping your grass pretty.

Post-emergent weed control, unlike the pre-emergent treatment, is a corrective treatment designed to kill weeds that have already emerged. At Columbus Lawn Care, we use selected, professional-grade herbicides like Fusilade and Scythe, which do a great job at targeting both broadleaf and grassy weeds without damaging your surrounding grass. By addressing the problem at the foliage and root level, we ensure our weed removal is effective long-term.

Outside of our chemical treatments, we also use simple and traditional weed control methods like manually hand-pulling weeds and mulching. Hand-pulling specific weeds targets weeds directly at the root, providing immediate weed removal. Mulching serves as a preventive measure like pre-emergent treatments. This acts as a preventative layer on your soil, which prevents weed seeds from entering the soil, as well as stopping weeds from sprouting and receiving sunlight or nutrients. Just know that mulching also stops other plants from growing, so it is utilized only in certain areas of your yard.

With our pre-emergent, post-emergent, and manual weed control methods at Columbus Lawn Care Pros, you get an all-round solution that takes care of any form of unwanted greens lurking in your lawns. So wait no longer... are you ready to clear these troublesome plants in your yard? Call us today, and we’ll set up a time to start clearing out these unwelcome guests.

Instructions For After Your Weed Control Service

Below are instructions for what to do and what NOT to do after your weed control service. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of the servicing.

Keep ALL activity (children and pets) off the lawn for 1 to 4 hours. Our lawn care professionals will communicate the exact duration to you after our service, but know it's imperative to have inactivity on your lawn for the weed control treatment to flow into the soil. If you've got specific questions, ask them to our workers after the job.
Do not water your lawn afterward for at least 4 hours after our service. This includes any irrigation and water sprinkler activation in your yard. This is essential to allow the weed control treatment to dry. Constant water flow will cause weed control treatments to be ineffective. If you're wondering about rain, it does affect the weed control treatment as well. What our contractors do in Columbus Lawn Care Pros are preventative steps before the meeting to decide on a time and day that does not have rain. If there is rain planned after or during the job, we'll reschedule or delay the job till after the rainy weather has subsided.
Do not mow the lawn for at least 1 day. To prevent our weed control product from being cut off before it fully settles in the soil and attacks the weeds' roots, avoid mowing, trimming, or edging the lawn for at least 24 hours. This helps the product be fully absorbed into the weeds' roots.
Keep us in contact. If there are any issues where weeds aren't going away or wilting off, be sure to send us an email, message, or call our contractor you got in contact with. We'll make sure to come back and recheck your lawn for mishaps. Otherwise, be sure to leave a good review on our Google page!

Crabgrass tends to have a spirally shaped grass that grows low to the ground but has thick, finger-like seed heads. These appear in late spring and thrive when your lawns are thin or patchy. With our lawn fertilization and overseeding services, which thicken and strengthen your lawn's grass, these weeds will slowly diminish within your lawn.

Dandelions are bright yellow flowers that have fluffy seed heads. They are very identifiable due to their flowerheads and long taproots. These weeds can be very durable, and their seeds spread easily due to wind carrying the seed heads. Basic hand pulling is a good solution when tackling dandelions, as they have weak root systems. Don't let that lower your guard though, they make up for it with their extreme speed and ability to spread

Clover weeds are fairly recognizable, they have three-part leaves that have white and pinkish flowers. These weeds are perennial and don't often go away throughout the annual seasonal changes. It competes with grass for nutrients and, due to its height, gives lawns an uneven appearance. Our team uses precise treatments to target these weeds whilst protecting desirable grass.

Chickweed is a low-growing, fast-spreading weed with small oval leaves and tiny white star-shaped flowers. It grows well in cool, moist areas where it forms dense populations to crowd out grass in your lawn. These are best managed with pre-emergent weed control, which stops their seeds from germinating, along with manual removal to clear out thick mats already existing. Dense and thick grass in your lawn reduces its ability to thrive.
