Spring has officially “sprung” and now is the time to think about lawn care for your Southeastern MA lawn. As the season begins to unfold, and the temperatures rise, you will start to be able to visually access the condition of your lawn. Do you have sporadic weed growth? Are there bare spots in the lawn? Is the color of your turf appearing washed out and dull? All of these concerns should be addressed early in the season in order to maintain a lush, healthy lawn. In this story, we will discuss some of the most prevalent conditions Lawn Squad sees in Southeastern Massachusetts lawns this time of year, and how to properly address them.
Seeing Weed Growth? Time To Consider Lawn Care In MA
Some of the most prominent weeds you may be seeing pop up in your lawn are dandelions, chickweed, plantain, oxalis, purslane and crabgrass. We realize that the springtime surge of weeds can be quite overwhelming at first sight. However, the Mass lawn care pros at Lawn Squad, can handle unsightly spring weeds.
Take a look and see if you can identify any of these weeds lurking in your Massachusetts lawn:
Dandelions: You may fondly remember picking dandelions in grade school as part of recess games. Yes, this weed may bring back childhood nostalgia, but left untreated in your MA lawn, it can become unsightly. Dandelions are fast growers and very hardy in our area.
Chickweed: This weed is by far one of the spring lawn weeds that we see pop up in our region most often. It has a spreading form that can choke out turfgrass.
Plantain: Identifiable by broad, flat, oval-shape leaves arranged in a low rosette. A not so fun fact is the seeds of the plantain can live in the soil for up to 20 years!
Oxalis: This nuisance weed is sometimes mistaken for clover. But having this in your lawn is far from bringing good luck.
Purslane: This weed can pop up in both spring and summer. It is classified as a succulent with red tinged leaves and yellow blooms.
Crabgrass: Crabgrass is a common summer grass that germinates in spring and can be identified by its creeping stems and finger-like leaf blades. This weed can quickly dominate your turf, robbing your soil of vital nutrients.
One of the biggest challenges when controlling spring weeds is having the knowledge to deal with them properly. Some weeds are more difficult to control than others and will respond differently to various measures. There is much more at play than spraying with one product and hoping for the best. At Lawn Squad of Southeaster MA, we employ the use of preventative treatments that target weed prevention. For stubborn weeds that won’t budge, post emergent delivers a punch and is a strong back up.

Our weed control directive focuses on the weeds your lawn currently has and the weeds you may have. Lawn Squad realized that the ideal timing of applying these weed controls is crucial to their success. The best way to prevent weeds overall is to create a lawn where it will be difficult for them to thrive. A healthy turf is the best defense against weeds. They thrive in dry, compacted soils with low fertility and lawns with thin sparse turfs. Addressing these conditions with a healthy lawn care program, like those at Lawn Squad, will discourage weed growth naturally.
