How To Have Weed Free Grounds

The easy way is to hire Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance and we will do it for your commercial property. But if you are still thinking DYI here are some effective tips.

Summer has its pleasures, but pulling weeds isn't one of them. And as anybody who has struggled to pull a weed will tell you, these plants are a formidable adversary. They grow almost anywhere, thrive under adverse conditions and can be incredibly prolific. Purdue University's cooperative extension office reports that a single dandelion can produce 15,000 seeds a year, each of which can survive in a dormant state in the ground for six years.

First don’t plant them when you plant your lawn. Always quality seed products.

Those pesky weeds. As sure as the days will get longer and the weather will get warmer, the presence of weeds will return, posing a challenge for homeowners to maintain perfect commercial grounds. So how do you eliminate weeds without the backbreaking effort of pulling them or with chemicals that can smell and harm the environment and your pets? Start early and start small, when the weeds are small anyway, and you’ll save a lot of effort. There’s plenty you can do outside as soon as the ground is cleared of the snow and the sun is shining.

Pull weeds while they are still young and tender and the roots are not fully developed. This is most effective, and easiest, after a rain when the soil is soft and the moisture ups the odds that you'll get the top plant and its roots. Dry soil is hard, and it's far more likely that you won't get root when you pull the weed. Above all, pull the weed before it starts to flower and goes to seed.

Stirring the soil severely inhibits a weed's growth by chopping through it, or killing it by exposing the roots to drying. Again, know your weed. You can kill some weeds with a single chop from a hoe, but If you break up its tuber-like root in an effort to pull it, each piece produces a separate plant.
