The first step is to identify the type of weeds in the lawn. This step helps choose the suitable treatment and avoid killing grass and other plants in the nearby surroundings. Next, choose the proper weed puller. Short-handled weeders are for shallow-rooted weeds.  A long-handled type or claw weeder, on the other hand, is an ideal solution for deep-rooted weeds. For heavily infested areas, use herbicides as support to kill the remaining parts of the roots thoroughly after pulling out the weeds. Removed weeds can be dried in sunlight and used as compost. To maintain the lawn, keep a regular schedule for fertilizing and plant new seeds in empty spots.
