Weeds take control now.

Weeds! They are impacting your curb appeal, creating the “first impression” you don’t want or need. Quietly driving business away as people are making a decision about how your property is managed, by what the grounds look like, without ever leaving their vehicle to come inside. ?How much is that costing you? Do you know what type of weeds exist on your property; “green ones” is not the answer. If you don’t know the type, how can you be sure your 2024 RFP or current SOW has the correct program to address the weeds? At TruGreen National Accounts we can design and deliver a solution to control the weeds and help improve curb appeal and consistency across your portfolio! ?There is still time to plan correctly for 2024.

What type of weeds do you have? Do you know? Do you have the correct program to address this issue in 2024?

Depending on whether you’re dealing with annuals, biennials, or perennials, we can create the correct program to take care of your property. Left unchecked or having the wrong program can create large weed infestations that can lead to unbudgeted costly turf renovation or replacement projects. Here is a quick review of weeds.

Here’s how they differ.

Annual weeds. These types of broadleaf weeds live for only one season and are typically easy to control because they lack the complex underground structures needed to spread new plant growth through creeping roots. Still, annuals produce tons of seeds that can infest and dominate your lawn under the right conditions.

Summer annuals. These weeds begin to grow (germinate) in the spring, mature in the summer, and then produce seeds and die by the fall or first hard frost—an entire life cycle completed within 12 months.

Winter annuals. These weeds overlap for two calendar years but last only 12 months total. They germinate and develop from late summer to early fall, remain semi-dormant during the winter and then flower in spring.

Perennial weeds. These types of broadleaf weeds can germinate and spread from seeds, but they also produce a root structure (tubers, bulbs, or corms) that can birth new weeds from your lawn’s surface (using stolon's) or from underground (using rhizomes).

Biennial weeds. These flowering plants generally live for two years. The first year consists of leaves, stems, and root growth, followed by winter dormancy. In the second year, biennials flower and produce seeds, thus completing their life cycles.

?Again, if you are unsure of what the weeds issue is, your 2024 plan may be incorrect.
