Controlling Weeds the Environmentally Safe Way
Weeds are really just one type of plant that we have decided shouldn't be growing in one particular place. Some wild orchids growing in Hawaii are considered weeds. Many times, whether a plant is a weed or not, depends on your point of view.
Some weed-type plants are invasive and fast growing. Their growth habit overtakes our cultivated turf plants, depriving them of food and water. Other weeds are extremely noxious and cause problems for people if they get close to them.
In the lawn, most common weeds are just a nuisance. Most don't cause skin reactions or breathing difficulties-- they just don't look good. Weeds will often grow in soil or conditions where a turfgrass can't grow. In those situations, the weeds are telling us is that the lawn, or more precisely, the soil, isn't as healthy as it should be.
The best way to prevent weeds is by maintaining a thick, healthy lawn. Kentucky Professional Turf Services takes the right steps, at the right time, to prevent lawn-destroyers like crabgrass and dandelions from gaining a foothold in your lawn. Our regular aeration treatment helps improve your soil and provide the right environment for thick, healthy turfgrass.
Only Kentucky Professional Turf Services takes a 99.3% chemical-free approach to weeds with its proprietary blend of weed controller. Now you can feel more at ease while combating over 100 different weeds in a single application.
Common Central Kentucky Weeds
Grassy-type weeds...
No other lawn service is as tough on crabgrass. In fact, we attack the crabgrass problem before it starts. We treat early in the spring and then again in early summer. This proactive approach effectively eliminates the crabgrass headache early in the season.
Our improved formulation is completely non staining and offers season long (120 - 160 days) control of crabgrass, goosegrass, oxalis, spurge, Poa annua and many other important turf weed species, plus it provides outstanding safety on turf and landscape ornamentals with no solvent odor.
Broadleaf weeds ...
Broadleaf weeds are generally the easiest to identify of all the weeds. They have leaves that are broad, and are generally produced in pairs or multiples, have wide, flat leaves situated on a stem. Broadleaf weeds are distinctive from grasses and sedges. Broadleaf leaves may be simple (having one leaflet, like dandelion) or compound (having more than one leaflet, like clover).
Kentucky Professional Turf Services's balanced fertilization with Dimension Ultra Weed Control takes care of many weeds before they become a problem. We also spot treat throughout the growing season to keep weeds from becoming a problem, and keeping your lawn beautiful and weed-free without the work and worry of doing it yourself.
