Weeds spell trouble for your lawn in Colorado because these unwanted and invasive plants will steal nutrients from your grass. If you're looking to get rid of them, you'll want to spray them instead of pulling them by hand. Spraying weeds requires less effort, allows you to cover a larger area, and is more effective since herbicides can quickly kill them. Meanwhile, hand-pulling weeds will require more effort and time. Not only that, but you may not pull up the entire weed, including the roots, and could accidentally spread the weed seeds even more. When spraying weeds that are on your lawn, you'll want to use post-emergent treatments to effectively remove them and pre-emergents to keep more from surfacing!

Spraying the weeds on your lawn requires less effort and is more effective.

If weeds are slowly spreading on your lawn, the most effective way to target them is by spraying them. Spraying the weeds involves using herbicide treatments and applying them directly to the growth. This means it requires less time and effort because it's easier to administer rather than manually remove them. What's more, you can quickly target a large area and eliminate more weeds in a short amount of time! Spraying weeds is also more effective because the product seeps into the soil and kills them at the roots, ensuring there's nothing left of the growth.

Hand-Pulling Weeds on Your Lawn is Labor-Intensive & Can Make The Problem Worse

Weeds are relentless and resilient, determined to make the most out of the space they invade on your lawn. While hand-pulling is a common removal method, it can cause more harm than good. When you hand-pull weeds, you risk leaving parts of the roots in the ground, which can regrow. Not only that, but you can accidentally make weed seeds spread even more when you yank out the growth from the ground, leading to even more of these pesky plants.

Pulling weeds by hand is also labor-intensive. Opting for this removal method means being out in the yard for most of the day to manually pull individual weeds, which is tedious and time-consuming. This method can be even more grueling if you have a large lawn filled with these nutrient-stealing plants.

Use a post-emergent weed control treatment when spraying weeds on your lawn.

If your lawn is already filled with weeds, spraying them is the more effective solution. However, you'll want to use the right herbicide treatment to yield the best results. In this case, a post-emergent weed control treatment is just what you need. This treatment is designed to target existing weeds currently spreading on your turf, eliminating them so your grass doesn't have to continue competing with them for essential nutrients.

However, just like tackling the existing weed growth on your lawn is important, it's just as so to prevent any more from sprouting. So, you will also need to utilize pre-emergent weed control treatments, which will create a barrier that prevents weeds from breaking through the soil's surface. This means you'll be targeting those you can't see yet to keep them from causing problems in the first place.

Timing is crucial when applying pre-emergent weed control treatments to get ahead of weeds before they surface and yield effective results.
