It’s an age-old war with no foreseeable end: man versus weeds. Home and business owners have dozens of options for combating these unwanted plants, from DIY weed killers to professional lawn care services. Now, realistic synthetic lawn products have made it possible to get the grass you want without any of the usual spraying or mowing.
Common Types of Weeds That Invade Your Lawn
As Sun Tzu advised in The Art of War, you must know your enemy to defeat him. This rings true even in the crusade against weeds, as traditional removal methods need to be tailored to the target weed’s life span (annual or perennial) and growth season (cool season or warm season). The better you understand what the weed needs to thrive, the more successful you’ll be at targeting its weaknesses.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with some of Washington’s most common offenders in the sections below.
Grassy Weeds
These types of weeds have (unsurprisingly) a grassy appearance. Blades/stems tend to be tall and slender, though some can be low, spreading plants. Grassy weeds tend to grow in thin, dry areas where regular grass cannot thrive.
Examples: crabgrass, wild oat, yellow foxtail, cheatgrass, and annual bluegrass
Broadleaf Weeds
These types of weeds have wider leaves and look quite distinct from the long, blade-like grasses. Many broadleaf weeds feature flowers or have multiple flat leaves along the stem. These types of weeds tend to grow aggressively and can be especially tough to get rid of.
Examples: dandelion, white clover, ragweed, black nightshade, and bull thistleSynthetic Grass Is an Easy, Permanent Solution
Synthetic grass is just what it sounds like: an artificial turf product used to create beautiful, weed-free lawns. More than just an attractive landscaping solution, artificial grass installation is also ideal for sports fields, rooftops, playgrounds, and other areas that require a soft, easily maintained ground cover.
DuPont’s ForeverLawn is a top synthetic grass product that combines superior performance with a natural look. Unlike other artificial turf products, ForeverLawn’s tan thatch and soft, densely packed blades make for an extremely realistic appearance. The lush look and feel of ForeverLawn make it almost indistinguishable from real grass; if not for the fact that it doesn’t grow, your neighbors would likely never notice it was artificial!
