What Is Weed Control?
Weed control is essentially the removal and prevention of unwanted plants growing in your yard that take up and steal essential nutrients, water, and sunlight from your grass. Multiple of these invasive plant species spread quickly, and choke out healthy turf, leaving your lawn uneven and unhealthy. At Novato Lawn Care, our proven techniques and professional treatments help manage both current weeds and prevent future ones from growing. We target weeds from the root so that we can promise long-lasting results and stop them from spreading their seed. Whether it's broadleaf weeds, grassy weeds, or other invaders, go with our lawn care company to keep your lawn weedless and beautiful.
Why Do Weed Control Services Matter?
Weeds may initially seem harmless to the average homeowner at first, but they quickly rob your lawn of the nutrients and space it needs. Before long, your grass is competing with weeds for sunlight, water, and nutrients, and these unwanted plants grow out and beat your grass to dominate that area of your lawn. This weakens your turn and makes it vulnerable to pests and drought. With the climate in Novato, crabgrass, dandelions, and clover tend to be the culprits that spread rapidly when not managed well. Due to this, regular and expert weed control is essential to maintain your lawn's health and appearance.
Thankfully, choosing with Novato Lawn Care as your lawn care provider in Novato, CA, means that all weeds are cleared and your lawn is managed to reduce the chance of these invaders showing up in your garden. You can't ever fully prevent seeds from landing in your garden due to wind flow, but our team does a great job and minimizing seeds spreading in your own garden.

Types of Weed Control We Offer
When it comes to weed management, our lawn care company in Novato, CA, uses a comprehensive approach. We utilize both preventive and corrective maintenance for the weeds in your lawn - Pre-Emergent and Post-Emergent Weed Control. Our Pre-Emergent Weed Control treatment ensures future weeds are prevented from growing by forming a protective barrier in the soil. Our Post-Emergent Weed Control treatments handle the current weeds existing in your garden by getting rid of them from the root up.
Pre-Emergent Weed Control
Pre-Emergent control involves applying herbicides to your soil. This forms a barrier on the soil's surface that prevents weeds from germination and sprouting from their seeds. This is one of the efficient and effective weed control methods, offering season-long defense against the usual weeds that pop up around Novato, CA, like crabgrass and spurge.
Post-Emergent Weed Control
Post-Emergent Weed Control is the reactive treatment done to clear already existing weeds within your garden. Our lawn care workers use professional-grade herbicides like Fusilade and Scythe that target only weeds and do not affect regular, healthy grass. These target the foliage and roots that active broadleaf and grassy weeds have, to clear them from your yard and garden beds. We ensure your lawn stays clear of these invasive weeds, whilst ensuring the health of surrounding plants and soil.
Other Weed Control
The other forms of weed control we utilize involve basic weed pulling and mulching. Weed pulling is a reactive method that is what it sounds like - pulling weeds from their roots around your yard. Mulching is more of a preventative method that isn't fully effective, but paired with our pre-emergent weed control, will be efficient at stopping weeds from growing in your soil.
With our use of pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control, and combining it with mulching and general weed pulling, we provide an all-around solution to the unwanted greens in your lawn. If you'd like to get started restoring balance and beauty in your garden, call us today, and we'll arrange a time to start your weed removal.

Dandelions are bright yellow flowers that have fluffy seed heads. They are very idetifiable due to their flowerheads and long taproot.

Clover weeds are fairly recognizable, they have three-part leaves that have white and pinkish flowers. These weeds are perennial and don't often go away throughout the annual seasonal changes.

FAQs
How often should I mow my lawn?
Most lawns need mowing every 1–2 weeks during the growing season. In warmer months, grass grows faster and may need more frequent cuts. In cooler periods, you can space it out.
Why is my lawn turning brown?
Brown patches can come from heat stress, lack of water, compacted soil, pests, or disease. The cause needs to be checked before deciding on the right fix.
What is lawn aeration and do I need it?
Aeration involves making small holes in the soil to relieve compaction. If your lawn feels hard underfoot or water sits on the surface, aeration can help improve root growth and drainage.
Can you take care of my lawn regularly?
Yes. Our lawn care services offer ongoing maintenance plans, including mowing, edging, fertilising, and seasonal treatments to keep things in good shape.
