About Our Weed Control Service
Weed control should be tailored to the type of weeds in your lawn and how long they've been growing. Here at Freedom Lawns, we use two main methods:
- Pre-emergent treatments: This involves applying herbicides to prevent weed seeds from germinating and growing. It's typically used in early spring or fall before weeds like crabgrass or dandelions emerge. By creating a chemical barrier in the soil, pre-emergents stop seeds from developing into mature plants. However, it won't kill existing weeds—it's purely preventative!
- Post-emergent treatments: This involves applying herbicides to kill weeds that have already sprouted and are actively growing. These herbicides target the leaves or roots of the weeds, making them effective after the weeds have emerged. It's commonly used for broadleaf weeds, grassy weeds, and other unwanted plants visible in your lawn or garden. Unlike pre-emergent treatments, post-emergents are curative, not preventative.
Year-Round Protection From Stubborn Weeds
We will use a combination of pre and post-emergent weed control methods to ensure optimal, year-round protection against stubborn weeds. By applying pre-emergent treatments in the spring, we create a protective barrier that prevents weeds from establishing roots. This is one of the most effective ways to maintain a weed-free lawn throughout the year, and is especially beneficial in our humid subtropical climate, where weed growth can be persistent. The most common types of weeds in the region are:
- Crabgrass – A summer annual weed that thrives in hot, dry conditions
- Dandelion – Known for its bright yellow flowers and puffball seeds
- Clover – Often found in thin or undernourished lawns
- Virginia Buttonweed
- Spotted Spurge and Lespedeza
- Nutsedge/Kyllinga
- And even more

A Sustainable Approach to Reducing Weeds
Here at Freedom Lawns, we believe weed control is most effective when integrated into a routine lawn care program. While we offer weed control as a standalone service, it is also part of our comprehensive lawn care fertilization program. While fertilizing your lawn alone won't solve your weed problems, it will help provide essential nutrients that encourage dense, healthy grass -- and a thick lawn can outcompete weeds for sunlight, water, and nutrients, reducing the chances of weed establishment.
Along with that, weeds often thrive in nutrient-poor soils. Regular fertilization helps correct these deficiencies, which can limit the growth of weed species that prefer such conditions. Let us handle your lawn fertilization as well for more comprehensive protection and ensure your lawn is being taken care of from every angle!
