Experienced 

I began my career in the lawn care industry working for a larger lawn care service back in 1995.  After 10 years of working for a larger corporate type of company I started Sharplawns in 2005.  Seeing how little the larger companies out there seemed to value their customers and employees I set out with a goal to build a small locally owned company that was focused on Honesty, building good customer relationships and providing exceptional customer service and good results.

Did you know that Our fall and winter treatments are the most important part or our lawn care treatment program in Dallas, Ga?  The fall and winter treatments are where we prevent alot of the more difficult to control weeds

such as Poa-Annua, Henbit, and Chickweed.  We also add a root zone potassium based fertilizer to keep the root system strong during the winter months. We typically end our treatment program in November, and generally will be back out mid January to early February to start the round #1 crabgrass prevention treatments.  So as you can see, while the grass may not be growing there are still important steps that we take in the off season to make sure your lawn has the best chance to thrive come spring green up.

Weed ID – Spotted Spurge

Spotted spurge is a  difficult to control Summer Annual weed that is common to see in the Dallas, GA area. Spurge grows close to the ground and can form dense mats if left uncontrolled. Spurge tends to take off in hot, dry conditions, and will be noticeable in open areas, in bare or stressed areas of turf and can even grow in sidewalk cracks.Spurge - Weed Dallas, Ga

Spotted spurge  prevention should be an important part of any lawn care program in dallas, Ga.  Spring pre-emergents can be helpful, however late in the season when the pre-emergent starts to break down is where spurge can start to be a problem.  Post-Emergent control is effective on young spurge in its early stages, but can be more of a challenge to control in its mature stage.

Keeping the lawn thick and healthy is good way to keep spotted spurge down to minimum.  Spotted Spurge requires sunlight to germinate, so a thick healthy lawn will tend to not see much of this difficult to control weeds.  Scalping of the lawn, or removing to much grass at each mowing will thin out areas of the lawn and spurge outbreaks can be more common in these stressed areas.  We recommend keeping the lawn mowed atleast weekly during the growing season and be sure to not remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade per mowing.

If spotted spurge is a problem in your yard, feel free to give Sharplawns Turf Care a call and we can evaluate and setup a lawn care program to help minimize and/or eliminate this difficult to control nuisance weed from your lawn in Dallas, Ga
