GREAT LAWNS in FIVE EASY STEPS
Insect and Weed Control
Insect and weed control is vital to the health and overall appearance of your lawn. Be sure to remove any debris and leaves from shrubs and trees. This mass can harbor insects and stress the grass and soils and also decrease the effectiveness of any biological measures or chemicals used to prevent or eliminate weeds or control destructive insects. Judicious use of insecticides helps to preserve beneficial insects that naturally regulate pest insects. For instance, insects are often more susceptible to treatment at a certain stage in their development, often when the immatures are actively feeding. Greenstreet Gardens recommends following the TurfTrust Spring and Summer Lawn Program. (LINK TO WMAL GARDEN SENSE PAGE ) Pre-emergent chemicals are generally used in the spring to prevent weeds from germinating and growing. Early in the fall, weed killer may be applied to kill and prevent the overwintering of numerous grassy, broadleaf or nut sedge weed plants. The knowledgeable staff at Greenstreet Gardens will help in determining the problem plant and in suggesting the preferred biological measure or chemical. Always refer to product labels for specific use directions, precautions, and limitations before using products.
