Targeted Weed Control For Broussard Lawns & Yards

‍

Even the best-fed lawn will struggle if weeds take over. Our fertilization service in Broussard is paired with targeted weed control to tackle the aggressive species that thrive in the region’s wet, warm conditions. We apply treatments that knock out existing weeds and help prevent new ones from establishing, all while protecting your grass.

Our weed control methods:

• Pre-emergent herbicides to stop crabgrass, goosegrass, and spurge before they sprout.
• Selective post-emergent herbicides that won’t damage your turf.
• Spot treatments for tough weeds like nutsedge and chamberbitter.
• Seasonal adjustments to match weed growth patterns in Broussard’s climate.

Step-By-Step Lawn Fertilization & Weed Control Guide

‍

Late Winter/Before Spring

At the tail end of winter, before warm-season turf begins actively growing, it’s often best to hold off on spring fertilization until soil temperatures increase. If nutrients are applied too early, nitrogen levels must be kept in check, as excess nitrogen can place unnecessary stress on dormant or slow-growing grass. This is also the ideal time to clear away any remaining leaves, sticks, or debris left behind by winter to ensure treatments reach the soil properly.

• Priority should be placed on managing weeds rather than encouraging top growth, since fertilization is less effective in colder conditions.
• Apply pre-emergent weed control to stop dormant weed seeds from sprouting.
• Apply post-emergent weed control to areas where weeds are already visible.

Early Spring

As spring approaches and soil temperatures continue to rise, light fertilization can begin. Introducing a modest amount of potassium helps strengthen roots and sets the stage for more robust feeding later in the season. Weed pressure increases rapidly during early spring, making weed prevention and treatment a key focus. Common regional weeds such as dandelions, crabgrass, chickweed, and clover should be addressed before they spread.

• Add potash to encourage root growth and early-season establishment.
• Apply pre-emergent weed control to block weeds that survived winter dormancy.
• Apply post-emergent weed control to any actively growing weeds.

Late Spring

Late spring marks the transition into full nutrient applications. Based on your lawn’s specific needs, professionals may apply either liquid or granular fertilizer formulated to enhance turf color, density, and overall health. Weed control efforts should now concentrate on perennial weeds that are firmly established above ground.

• Apply a balanced fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK).
• Apply post-emergent weed control to any actively growing weeds.

Early Summer

At this stage of the season, fertilization becomes the primary focus. Your lawn should be noticeably greener and fuller, and early summer applications help maintain that appearance by supporting deeper, healthier root systems beneath the surface.

• Apply a slow-release fertilizer with low to moderate nitrogen levels to prevent turf stress or burn.
• Apply post-emergent weed control to any actively growing weeds.

Mid Summer

Any new weeds that have appeared since the previous treatment should be addressed with targeted spot treatments, while fertilization practices remain consistent with early summer applications. By mid-summer, the goal is for your lawn to be at its healthiest and most visually appealing.

• Apply a slow-release fertilizer with low to moderate nitrogen levels to prevent turf stress or burn.
• Apply post-emergent weed control to any actively growing weeds.

Late Summer

As temperatures remain high but fall approaches, the focus shifts back toward prevention. Strengthening the root system with additional potassium can be beneficial, while proactive weed control helps prepare the lawn for the cooler months ahead. Both preventative and corrective weed treatments are used to keep turf as clean and resilient as possible.

• Apply potash to continue supporting root strength and stress tolerance.
• Apply pre-emergent weed control to prevent dormant weed seeds from emerging.
• Apply post-emergent weed control to any actively growing weeds.

Early Fall

Much like late summer treatments, early fall emphasizes pre-emergent weed control to help carry the lawn through winter. While some weeds may still require post-emergent treatment, many will begin slowing down or entering dormancy as temperatures cool.

• Apply pre-emergent weed control to prevent dormant weed seeds from sprouting.
• Apply post-emergent weed control to any actively growing weeds.

Fall/Late Fall

The final treatment of the year is designed to protect your lawn during the off-season. A fall pre-emergent is applied to discourage winter and early spring weed germination, while root-focused nutrients help the turf store energy. Fungicide applications are often recommended to reduce the risk of disease during cold, damp winter conditions.

• Apply winterizing fertilizer to support the lawn until spring growth resumes.
• Apply fall pre-emergent weed control to prevent weeds from germinating before the next growing season.
