Lawn Weeds

Weeds in the lawn can be any plant that disrupts the uniform appearance of the green expanse of grass. Most weeds fall into two categories: broadleaf and grassy-type.

Healthy lawns will aggressively crowd out most weed seeds that germinate. Unhealthy lawns that are thin or week, are easy targets for weed seeds to take root and establish themselves.

Another division of lawn weeds are whether or not they are annual or perennial. Annual weeds are those that live for up to 12 months, and not necessarily 12 consecutive months. Some annual weeds will spout during the first season, and then return the following season to flower and re-seed.

Perennial weeds are defined as weeds that live for at least 3 growing seasons or longer.
