O'Toole's Garden Center

Weed ControlNow is a great time to start thinking about preventing weeds in your garden and lawn.   As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  One of the best ways to thwart weeds is by applying a pre-emergent weed killer.  A pre-emergent is an herbicide that kills weeds before they even have a chance to sprout. 

The first step in weed prevention is to identify which kinds of weeds are likely to invade your lawn.  Lawn weeds are generally broken down into two groups:  Grassy Weeds and Broadleaf Weeds.

 Grassy Weeds are nothing more than types of grasses that you don’t want in your lawn or flower beds.  They can be either annual grasses like crabgrass or perennial grasses like fescue.  An easy way to tell which kind of weed grass you have is to observe when it turns green.  Perennial grass will green up early, at the same time as the rest of your lawn.  Annual grass won’t appear until later in the season, around May or so. Check out Grassy Weed Prevention

Broadleaf Weeds are all other weeds that are not grasses.  They are usually easy to spot, as they’re wide leaves stand out against they narrow leaves of grass.  Broadleaf weeds include repeat offenders like dandelions, chickweed and spurge. Check out Broadleaf Weed Prevention
