Spring is the perfect time to sign up for a weed control program to get your lawn in Michigan ready for the growing season. Weeds will begin germinating as soon as the weather warms up, so it's important to stay ahead of them with pre-emergent treatments. It's best to apply post-emergent treatments throughout the rest of the spring and summer months to control any existing weeds on your property. If you skip weed control altogether this spring, you risk allowing weeds to take over your lawn, stealing important resources from your turf. This will lessen your property's curb appeal over time as the weeds grow uninhibited.

Weeds can drag down your curb appeal if they are left untreated.

It's important not to skip weed control during spring because, if left unchecked, weeds can quickly take over your lawn. There are many different types of weeds, and the varying appearance of them can make your turf look messy and unkempt. As more and more weeds take over, your grass will start to become weaker and turn brown until, eventually, you'll be left with just weeds. This will drag down your property's curb appeal, and if you own a residential property, you might even hear complaints from an HOA.

Weeds can weaken your grass by stealing nutrients from it.

The second reason why you shouldn't skip out on weed control this spring is because weeds can steal vital nutrients from your grass. Your grass needs these nutrients to grow strong and healthy, especially during the spring when it is emerging from winter dormancy. If there are weeds present on your lawn, they will absorb those same nutrients that would normally go toward helping your grass recover from the winter months. When your grass doesn't receive enough of the essential nutrients that it needs, it will become weaker than usual, leaving it more susceptible to things like diseases and insect infestations.

You should use both pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control treatments in the spring.

Don't fall into the trap of skipping out on weed control this spring! Utilize both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments for complete coverage. Pre-emergent weed control is a preventative measure that creates a barrier on the soil surface to prevent newly germinated weeds from breaking through. The application timing is crucial as it must be done before the weeds start to grow.

Post-emergent weed control treatments, on the other hand, target existing weeds on your lawn. These treatments are designed to eliminate weeds that have already sprouted up. It is recommended to apply post-emergent treatments as soon as you see weeds popping up on your lawn to prevent them from spreading and reproducing.

Pairing fertilizer treatments with weed control treatments ensures that your grass receives all of the nutrients that it needs to thrive.
