Some homeowners just accept having to deal with weeds as part of life with a yard and garden. They crop up every spring, you either weed them by hand or use some organic substance to kill them and move on with your summer.

What if we told you that it didn’t have to be this way? What if we told you that you can prevent weeds from showing up at all?

In this post, that’s what we’re going to do. This article is all about how to prevent weeds so you don’t have to spend those painstaking hours trying to get rid of them. Weeds are a detriment to your lawn and garden, so keep reading and you won’t have to see them ever again.

Getting Fertilizer Right

When you don’t use enough fertilizer, the lawn won’t grow enough and will lose out to the weeds. If you use too much, then you can actually end up nurturing certain weeds, like crabgrass and bluegrass.

Make sure to use a fertilizer that is high in controlled-release nitrogen so that the nutrients are released slow and steady throughout the first weeks. Simply follow the instructions on the package to get the balance just right.

How to Water Properly

Some people think that yard care means you need to water your grass frequently in the spring, so they end up giving it a little bit every day.

This actually causes the grass to have shallow roots and helps to germinate a variety of weed seeds that’ll end up taking over your yard.

If you don’t water enough, then weeds that thrive in dry soil will crop up as your lawn suffers. What you really need to do is give your lawn a deep soak (about one inch) once per week.

How to Deprive Weeds of Water

Weeds won’t survive without water. In drier summer climates, you can use a drip irrigation method to get the water down to the root zone while leaving the surface level dry.

Most people end up using an overhead sprinkler system that soaks everything, which gives everything – grass and weeds – enough water to thrive.

You can also try to smother the weeds in mulch. This blocks the sunlight and makes it really easy to pull the weeds that do show up.

Call in the Pros

All of these tips are helpful to prevent weeds from growing, but they’re too time-consuming for most busy people. If you’re tired of the weeds and just want them gone, contact a professional landscaper, like the people at Lushgreenlandscapes.com to deal with your weeds.

A good landscaper will take one look at your lawn and know what type of lawn maintenance will be right for better weed control.

Learning How to Prevent Weeds Changes Everything

Learning how to prevent weeds from growing in your yard, rather than pulling them up every year, is going to change everything for your lawn. If you don’t do it properly, eventually the weeds are going to win, so take these tips to heart and don’t be afraid to involve a pro if you don’t have the time.
