Weed Control in Southeastern PA & DE

Our plan targets various species of weeds you can find in Chester County, PA – clover, chickweed, crabgrass, dandelion, plantain, henbit, spurge, oxalis, wild strawberry.

Our program controls most broadleaf weeds, but some tough weeds require special treatment.

Wild Violet and Ground Ivy are two weeds that need a specific program that entails three visits at three-week intervals in the fall months for best control.

Nutsedge requires our Sedge Program with two visits, 21 days apart with a specialty product.

Japanese stiltgrass, nimblewill, dallisgrass, and bentgrass require special programs aimed at grassy weeds and require several applications per season.

Implementing an effective weed control plan is a multi-step process, beginning with adequately identifying the weed you target. Knowing the species is critical to selecting the proper herbicide, as certain weed killers may be helpful for one weed but ineffective against another weed of a different variety. Once you have identified the weed and chosen an appropriate herbicide, applying that product correctly and accurately is essential. Proper application techniques are critical in achieving effective and long-lasting control. When done right, these steps can lead to a successful plan that reduces existing weeds and prevents future ones from becoming established.

Pennsylvania has a wide array of common weeds that, if left unmanaged, can quickly overtake gardens and lawns. Those pesky weed-like plants, including Crabgrass, Dallisgrass, Clover, Dandelion, Oxalis, Yellow Nutsedge, Japanese Stiltgrass, Nimblewill Grass, Plantain, Wild Violet, and Ground Ivy require attention from those looking to manage their efforts. It is important to adopt preventive weed management techniques before weed populations spike. Common approaches such as mulching or proper hand weeding may help limit the potential for weed infestation – helping your garden and lawn remain weed free!

Weed control is essential in lawn care, as it helps preserve the unity of a given species. For example, wild violets may be aesthetically pleasing to some people, but they can be considered undesirable weeds for many. This is because these violets are often seen as disrupting the evenness of a given lawn surface they inhabit and therefore go against the desired aesthetic of lush grass stretching out uninterrupted and uniform. By controlling weed growth and upkeep of the surrounding lawn environment, we can keep our landscapes healthy and looking their best.

It can be difficult but necessary for homeowners, and using a pre-emergent herbicide is an effective way to get ahead of weed growth. It’s essential to use this method early to develop the most robust defense against weeds as soon as weed season begins. Additionally, continued spot applications can further protect your lawn from weed infestations. With persistence and a little planning, your control plan can easily be managed, and your lawn will be weed-free for the season! Contact DTL Total Turf Care for more information and get help.
