Weeds of Lawns and Gardens

Weeds are a common and persistent problem for anyone who maintains a lawn or garden. These unwanted plants not only compete with desirable plants for nutrients, water and sunlight, but they also detract from the overall appearance of the area. Weeds can be difficult to control, as they often have deep roots, spread quickly and produce copious amounts of seeds. Effective weed management requires a combination of strategies, including cultural practices, physical removal and the use of herbicides when necessary. By taking a proactive approach to weed control, you can maintain healthy, attractive lawns and gardens and prevent the spread of weeds to neighboring properties.
