Broadleaf Weeds, Sedge, and Weedy Grasses
Broadleaf Weeds
Broadleaf weeds are the main target when it comes to selective post emergent weed control in your lawn. We use a combination of pre and post emergent herbicides to prevent and kill weeds through out the year.
Sedges and Kyllinga
Sedges and Kyllinga are often considered "weeds". However, they are not treated with our typical post emergent herbicide routine. Even with good herbicide coverage, regrowth normally occurs from the roots and tubers, and repeat applications are necessary. In the case of nutsedges, possibly several years will be required to control all the underground reproductive parts. All though selective herbicides are available, in many cases we opt for non-selective herbicide applications and replacement with your desired turf grass.
We are happy to help with additional treatments to control sedges and kyllinga.
Common Bermuda Grass
Common Bermuda Grass is an invasive weedy grass we commonly see in lawn and landscapes.
It needs to be controlled with non-selective herbicides like glysophate. Non-selective herbicide kills everything in most cases. Once applied the desired turf grass will need to be replaced.
If you are re-sodding due to Bermuda grass you will want to do multiple rounds of kill offs over 4-6 weeks to ensure the Bermuda grass has been eliminated. Otherwise it will return.
Crabgrass
This grassy, warm-season weed can’t take the cold, but it will most likely return.
Unfortunately, once crabgrass has germinated and begins to grow, there are very few or no herbicides available to homeowners or commercial applicators that can kill it without harming most types of turfgrass grown in Florida.
Torpedo Grass
Torpedograss (Panicum repens) is one of the most invasive perennial grass species in Florida landscapes. Torpedograss is currently listed as a noxious weed and is ranked as a Category I invasive by the Florida Invasive Species Council.
