Weeds can be pesky and difficult to get rid of, but you can control them with just a little bit of effort. The following are ways you can deal with those unwanted plants competing with your grass:
4 steps to controlling weeds
1. Identify the type of weed
The first step is to identify the type of weed. There are many different types of weeds, so it’s important to know which one you’re dealing with. Some weeds are easy to identify, while others can be more difficult.
2. Choose a treatment plan.
There are many different ways to control weeds, so find one that fits your needs and preferences. Some popular methods include using herbicides, hand pulling, or using mulch.
Once you’ve chosen a treatment plan, it’s time to start applying it. Be sure to read the instructions carefully so that you know how much and how often to apply the treatment.
3. Kill the weeds
Whatever weed-killing method you choose, be sure to apply it to the entire plant, including the roots. Weeds will continue to sprout if their seeds are left in the ground. When you pull up the plants, remove as many weed seeds as possible.
Weeds need sunlight to grow. Covering the area with a thick layer of mulch or bark chips will help keep it from growing. If all else fails, apply herbicide as needed. Herbicides can be used to kill weeds. However, remember to read and follow all the directions on the label.
4. Maintain proper lawn care
Weeds can be controlled through good lawn care practices. This includes keeping the lawn mowed short (3 inches or less), irrigating deeply and infrequently, and using a quality fertilizer.

How to prevent weeds organically
There are many organic methods you can use to prevent them from growing in the first place.
One method is to mulch your garden beds. A thick layer of mulch will help to smother any weed seedlings that try to grow. It will also help to conserve moisture and keep the soil cool during the summer months.
Another method is to use a pre-emergent herbicide. These products work by preventing weed seeds from germinating. They are typically applied in the springtime before the weeds have a chance to emerge.
You can also use plants as a natural form of weed control. Certain plants, such as marigolds and mint, have a natural ability to suppress weed growth. You can plant them in your garden beds or use them as border plants to help keep the weeds at bay.
In addition, you can also keep your garden free of weeds by hand-weeding regularly. This is a time-consuming but effective way to get rid of weeds.

Good morning today we have applied your grub control, this is going to help prevent any sort of grub or beetle from surfacing and creating bare spots in the lawn... Your round 4 application was placed on the entire lawn. I am noticing some thin areas of grass and bare patches where aeration and over seeding can help with new grass growth bringing up density and improving the overall health of the lawn. Today's application is going to help control any spring or summer weeds that are going to begin to come up. We are recommending our customers keep their lawn about 3 to 4 inches long over the summer. This is going to help with keeping the grass healthy in case of another intense summer. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Today is grub control has been applied throughout the entire lawn. This application is going to help control, grubs from feeding on the turf roots. The application does need to be watered down, and taking a look at the weather this week there is no prediction of rain in the forecast. So we do recommend watering your lawn about one to 2 inches maximum this week.

The lawn is coming along very well so far, Today I went around the entire yard fertilizing the grass, adding the nitrogen into the lawn so it can be as green and lush as possible in the coming seasons, I applied a warm season broadleaf weed control to help get rid of some of those weeds you see throughout the lawn and reduce appearances as well as an grub curative to keep those pesky lawn eating insects from causing harm to the lawn. Be sure to water the lawn within 5 days of todays treatment. I treated the front, back, and sides and I made sure to keep a safe distance away from your bushes and plants, Have a great day! -karell
