Problem signs

How to tell if your lawn needs weed control

If you see two or more of these on your lawn, it is time to schedule weed control.

  • Crabgrass strips bloom in driveway edges by early summer
  • Dandelions flower across the lawn each April
  • White clover patches spread where the grass thins
  • Nutsedge spikes poke above the turf within days of mowing
  • Broadleaf weeds outnumber grass blades in parts of the lawn
  • Last year's weeds returned in the same spots this spring
Root causes

What causes crabgrass

Short answer: no pre-emergent applied in early spring or fall. The full list below is what our weed control program is built to fix.

  1. 1No pre-emergent applied in early spring or fall
  2. 2Thin, stressed turf that lets weed seeds find sunlight and soil
  3. 3Cutting the lawn too short and exposing the crown
  4. 4Under-fertilized soil that favors weeds over grass
  5. 5Seed pressure from neighboring untreated yards
How it works

Your weed control in three simple steps

  1. 1

    Weed ID & plan

    We identify the weed species active in your yard and design a schedule of pre- and post-emergent applications for your climate.

  2. 2

    Seasonal application

    Pre-emergent in early spring and fall; spot post-emergent treatments as needed. Every visit documented with before/after photos.

  3. 3

    Stay weed-free

    With a consistent program, most lawns see 90%+ weed reduction within one season.

Transparent pricing

What does weed control cost?

Most weed control quotes in the United States fall into these three bands. Your final price is based on lot size, access, and the add-ons you choose.

Per-visit

$65 to $110

Single-visit pre- or post-emergent application on a standard lawn.

Annual program

$260 to $520

Four-visit program timed with pre-emergent and post-emergent windows.

Bundled with fertilization

$520 to $950

Six-plus visits integrating weed control and fertilization for one per-visit price.

What drives the price

  • Lot size. Priced per square foot of treated turf.
  • Weed pressure. Heavy broadleaf or nutsedge infestations may add a follow-up visit.
  • Product class. Pre-emergent costs less than specialty post-emergents like sulfentrazone or sulfosulfuron.
  • Bundle savings. Programs bundled with fertilization drop the per-visit price.

Seasonal timing matters

Pre-emergent window is tight

The right spring application stops crabgrass before it germinates. Once soil hits 55°F, you are treating weeds that already broke through.

Late starts cost double over the season
