Do you know the best times of year to apply weed control to pesky perennial weeds such as dandelions and Canada thistle?
Surprisingly, Fall is a great time to apply weed control.
As our Operations Manager in our Red Deer location, Graham Racz, explains, “Weeds are just another plant, albeit a less desirable one. In the Fall plants store nutrients to help them through the harsh Winter and to help give them a head start in the Spring.
Anything that they absorb at this time of year, whether it’s fertilizer, weed control or nutrients, they take it deeper into their root structure. This gives you effective weed control in the Fall and provides residual control the following season.
Many towns and communities we have been applying weed control for years request Fall Weed Control for this exact reason.”
Weed Control
Earth Smart Property Solutions offers a variety of weed and vegetation control services to help take back control of your lawn and to get rid of pesky weeds.
We use a specially blended formulation that is a combination of fertilizer and weed control. Depending on the state of your lawn and yard, and the volume and types of weeds that need to be controlled, we may recommend a single application or up to 5 applications.
We space our applications 6 weeks apart with our first application being in the Spring (after the snow has melted) and the last application in mid to late Fall, so you receive all of the benefits of Spring and Fall weed control applications.
