The frequency of herbicide application is a balance between ensuring effective weed control and preserving the health of your lawn. It's not a one-size-fits-all answer, as several factors influence the decision.
Typically, lawns benefit from a preventative herbicide treatment in early spring. This targets weed seeds before they have a chance to germinate, offering your lawn a head start in the race for resources. As the growing season progresses, post-emergent herbicides can be applied to tackle any weeds that have managed to establish themselves.
However, the exact frequency will depend on the specific weeds in question, the health of your lawn, the type of herbicide used, and local climate conditions. Some particularly persistent weeds might require a more regular treatment plan, while others might be kept at bay with just an annual or bi-annual application.
We will assess your garden's unique situation and provide a tailored treatment schedule. Regular monitoring and expert insight ensure that herbicide applications are timed optimally, providing maximum weed control while ensuring the safety and vitality of your lawn. The aim is always to use herbicides judiciously, applying them only as often as is genuinely necessary to maintain a lush, weed-free garden.
