-
#1DandelionOtherwise known as “public enemy #1”. This offender is best known for its bright yellow color which typically blooms in early April. Don’t be fooled by its inviting warmth, it generates hundreds of seeds which multiply rapidly covering your lawn in chaos. -
#2Smooth CrabgrassThis grassy weed is notorious for germinating in spring and overwhelming healthy turf with its presence. It will grow quickly and its seeds allow it to reproduce rapidly. After the first frost of the fall this weed will finally die leaving plenty of patchy areas in your lawn. Our trained enforcement technicians prevent this weed from germinating through a proactive approach.
-
#3NutsedgeThis grassy weed is known to grow during the late spring summer months. It’s easiest to distinguish this offender 2-3 days after your lawn is mowed. You’ll notice it growing disproportionately to the rest of your lawn and it is a lighter shade of green. This trespasser is especially elusive and requires a specific product application (not included in THE HEALTHY LAWN PROGRAM) in order to be killed.
-
#4OnionIts cousin may add flavor to your meal but this weed is a frustrating nightmare in your turf. This elusive offender is best known for being stubborn but is no match for our broadleaf weed killing application. Within 24 hours of application it begins to twirl, wilt and die. The verdict is in, and justice is served when our friendly technicians arrive on the scene of the crime.

#5HenbitThis terror of turf is known for its purple blooms and is a frequent flier to our officers. It consumes lawns by easily spreading throughout. Our application stops it in its tracks and helps your lawn return to healthy, happy and peaceful.

#6CloverHis rap sheet proves there is nothing “lucky” about this weed. It may be challenging to observe this pest until the white blooms appear. In severe cases you may wonder if its snowing in the summer. It’s not. It’s clover and we can serve it an arrest warrant. Bail? DENIED!
