AMERICA’S LEAST WANTED WEEDS

Here are the most common weed suspects, so you can hunt them down with confidence.

Crabgrass growing in a lawn.

Crabgrass

This annual grass weed thrives in stressed, thin areas of your yard. It’s easiest to spot in the early morning when its lighter color and wide blades are more visible in the turf. It’s also best to kill before it spreads, so start treating early on!

Dandelion growing in a lawn.

Dandelion

We all love to hate the infamous dandelion, because it can grow deep taproots in any soil type. It loves to pop up in the sunniest areas of your lawn.

Clover growing in a lawn.

“Trifolium repens 001” by H. Zell (Own work) or CC BY-SA 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons

Clover

We’re not talking about the 4-leaf kind. This clover has 3 round leaflets on 2–4" stalks and in the summer has white or pink-tinged flowers. It flourishes in underfed lawns by absorbing nitrogen from the air, which lawns cannot do.

Yellow Nutsedge

This grass-like lawn weed prefers moist soil, but, unfortunately, does fine just about anywhere. In the summer you’ll find it growing rapidly above the turf. You can spot it by its light green color and v-shaped, triangular stems.

Creeping Charlie growing in a lawn.

Creeping Charlie

Creeping Charlie (AKA Ground Ivy) has rounded, scalloped leaves that form along creeping stems. The stems are square and can root at each joint where they touch the ground.
