Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf.

You can, but I would caution you to wait until the third mowing and then a week after the first feeding. Let the grass recover from the shock of transplanting before you give it a dose of foul-tasting medicine.

No, you must either kill weeds first and then wait 3-4 weeks to seed, or seed first and then wait until the new seed has germinated and been mowed at least twice (about six weeks) before applying a broadleaf weed killer.

Gophers are a very common rodent found in most areas of North America. They live exclusively underground where they can destroy plants by consuming the roots or pulling the whole plant down into their burrows. The most effective method of removing gophers is through trapping. Specialized traps are available at most hardware stores. Also available are poisoned baits, which are placed within the gopher burrow, though it is often difficult to find a bait attractive to your particular gopher.

Preen works by killing seeds, so it is safe for and will not harm existing, mature perennials plants. When applying, try to avoid getting Preen on the plant foliage, which could cause discoloration or damage with long-term contact. (Just brush or wash off any stray granules.) I found a list of Frequently Asked Questions on the Preen website that may be of interest: http://www.preen.com/newpreen/prdpreen/faq.jsp

Broadleaf weeds usually take up to 2 weeks to show signs of control. It is only possible to control weeds in the lawn, not eradicate them. Tougher broadleaf weeds may take multiple applications to show results. Broadleaf weeds can only be controlled if they are present and actively growing at the time of application. Fairway Green will use broadleaf weed control with each application when necessary for this reason.

SpeedZone® Lawn Weed Killer in the ready-to-use (RTU) gallon or quart will give visual results on most broadleaf weeds in just hours.

Dollar weed, also known as pennywort, often grows in an over-watered lawn. Lawns are frequently over watered in the summer in central Florida. To prevent this weed in the future, make sure your sprinkler system is calibrated to water the lawn no more than one inch per application, once or twice a week depending on rainfall. If your lawn is St. Augustine, November is the time to use the herbicide atrazine, with a repeat application three to four weeks later.

A beautiful lawn is a weed free lawn. Your Lawn Doctor operative can apply selective liquid herbicide spray to your lawn to control broadleaf weeds in the grass. Examples of just some of the weeds you may find in your lawn, which Countrywide Lawn Doctor can help to eradicate;

Adding a 50-75mm layer of soil conditioner or woodchip will help protect the soil from weathering, retain moisture and smother weeds.

If the hardness level of the raw (untreated) water is high so to as a general rule will be the sodium level of the treated water. This water treated water could harm grass and hinder plant growth. Also using softened water on outside plants and shrubs is wasteful. Many people simply by-pass one or more of their outside spigots for outside watering. This can be done when the system is installed.

Mole activity in your lawn, golf course or fields can mangle water lines, which can lead to expensive flood damage. Mole activity may break cables, which can affect phones or any other utility you receive through underground lines. Moles destroy sprinkler systems by uprooting sprinkler heads and warping underground water lines. Mole tree damage is a huge concern. Their burrowing can expose tree roots, girdle and clip trees—all great ways to kill a tree in your yard or golf course.

Prevention is always better than cure. If a Sir Walter lawn is kept in a healthy and well fertilised condition, weed eradication is rarely necessary. If in the rare circumstance weed spray is required, we suggest that you first heavily fertilise when weeds are noticed, followed by at least two mowings in a three-week period. This will usually reduce the problem to a minimum. If spraying is still required, there are several herbicides that can be used.
