Crabgrass can be the bane of any beautiful lawn as it spreads insidiously through the yard, but with diligent care, it is possible to tame and eliminate this problem.
What Is Crabgrass?
Crabgrass is one of the most widespread weeds, with several different types that can invade lawns with a vengeance. It is a tropical grass with broad, thick leaves that branch out in a star-shaped pattern, staying more horizontal than vertical in the lawn. This generally keeps it less noticeable until it has begun to spread, making it more difficult to remove. Mowing does not harm crabgrass, and in fact an overmowed lawn can be more crabgrass-friendly, giving the weed more space to spread out. But understanding more about this weed is the first step toward eradicating it.
5 Steps to Get Rid of Crabgrass and Keep a Healthy Lawn
Because crabgrass grows throughout the growing season – from spring to fall – it must be attacked at all times, and it is crucial to stay vigilant in the fight against crabgrass. These five steps can minimize crabgrass in any lawn and keep the turf healthy and free of these unsightly weeds.
Crabgrass can be tough to remove, but with constant vigilance against this noxious weed, it is possible to attack the problem and maintain a healthy, crabgrass-free lawn.
