The most common weed killers rely on herbicides and chemicals that inhibit the growth of these nuisance plants. However, not every family or business wants to or is able to utilize these formulas. You may not want children or pets exposed to chemical pesticides, or your business might be conscientious of the environment and want to opt for more natural solutions that preserve desirable wildlife, such as bees and butterflies.
Weed control is about more than herbicides, and TurfWorks can help you explore the many options for solving your weed problem. Perhaps your ground needs fertilizer so that robust grass can grow and crowd out weeds like crabgrass. Maybe you can change the way or frequency in which you mow grass to cut down on the germination of weeds. No matter what your needs are, the experts at TurfWorks can determine what would work best in your landscape.
Natural options for controlling weeds include:
Cultivating competitors to crowd out weeds
Utilizing ground covers to prevent germination
Encouraging natural grazers to eat weeds
Introducing beneficial insects that feast on weeds
