According to a USGA turf expert, here are 5 essential strategies for managing weeds

Spring is the perfect time to start working on your lawn, and getting ahead of weed control is key. John Petrovsky, manager of education for the USGA Green Section, emphasizes the importance of dealing with weeds before they appear. The best way to do this is by using a pre-emergent herbicide, which targets weeds before they have a chance to establish themselves. Timing is crucial when applying pre-emergents, as factors like climate, soil temperatures, and the type of weed play a role in effective weed control. Utilizing a GDD tracker can help determine the best time to apply pre-emergents, ensuring a healthy and weed-free lawn.

While pre-emergents are a proactive approach to weed control, sometimes weeds still find their way into your lawn. In such cases, pulling weeds manually can be effective, but some weeds may require the use of a post-emergent herbicide. It’s important to identify the type of grass in your lawn and the specific weeds you’re targeting before applying any herbicide. Seeking advice from experts at your local lawn care store can help you choose the right product and application method for effective weed control.

Maintaining a healthy and robust lawn can help bolster its natural defenses against weeds. Avoiding common pitfalls such as mowing at the wrong height can contribute to a lush and resilient turf. Understanding the mowing height requirements for different grass types and considering factors like shade and water needs can enhance your lawn’s resistance to weeds. Consistent care and attention to detail are essential in weed control, much like maintaining control of your golf ball. If your lawn care efforts are yielding positive results, continue with the same methods, but don’t hesitate to seek help if needed.

It’s important to be realistic about your lawn’s appearance and not compare it to professionally maintained golf courses. Golf course superintendents have access to specialized equipment and resources, yet even they face challenges in controlling weeds. Managing expectations and understanding that your lawn may not look as perfect as a golf course can alleviate unnecessary pressure. Instead of striving for perfection, focus on maintaining a healthy and well-kept lawn that suits your needs and lifestyle. Seeking guidance from experts and staying consistent in your lawn care routine can lead to a weed-free and beautiful lawn that brings joy and pride to your home.
