Say Goodbye to Weeds: Expert Lawn Care Tips
Weeds can quickly ruin your dream of a perfect lawn. At Grass Gators, we make weed control simple and effective for Calgary homeowners. Check out these 10 practical tips to keep your lawn lush and weed-free!
🌱 1. Know Your Weeds
Types to Watch For:
- Annual Weeds: Like crabgrass, grow fast and spread quickly.
- Perennial Weeds: Dandelions and clover come back year after year.
- Biennial Weeds: Thistles are easier to manage in their first year.
💡 Tip: Identify weeds early to choose the best control method.
🏡 2. Keep Your Lawn Healthy
A thick, healthy lawn naturally crowds out weeds.
- Mow High: Keep grass longer to shade weed seeds.
- Water Deeply: Once or twice a week to encourage deep roots.
- Fertilize Regularly: Use slow-release fertilizers for consistent nutrients.
🛡️ 3. Use Pre-Emergent Herbicides
Prevent weed seeds from sprouting with a pre-emergent herbicide. Apply in early spring before weeds appear.
⏰ Timing Tip: Apply in May before the get a change to sprout.
💧 4. Water the Right Way
- Long Soaks: Water deeply, not a quick sprinkle.
- Early Morning: Reduces evaporation and fungal risks.
🛑 5. Don’t Skip Aeration
Aerating your lawn reduces compaction and helps grass grow deeper roots. Use liquid aeration for easy, effective results.
