Weed Control Services in New Hampshire

A weed-free lawn doesn’t just look better—it’s healthier, more resilient, and better able to withstand stress from heat, drought, and foot traffic. At The Difference Landscapes, our professional weed control services target unwanted plants while protecting your grass, giving you the lush, uniform lawn you’ve always wanted. Serving residential and commercial properties across the Seacoast region, we provide effective weed management that delivers lasting results season after season.

Comprehensive Weed Control for Healthier Lawns

Weeds are more than just unsightly—they’re aggressive competitors that steal water, nutrients, and sunlight from your grass. Left unchecked, weeds quickly colonize thin or stressed areas, turning a few problem spots into widespread infestations that compromise your lawn’s health and appearance. Our professional weed control service takes a strategic approach that eliminates existing weeds while preventing new ones from taking hold.

Our comprehensive weed control program combines targeted treatments, proper timing, and proven techniques to give your grass the competitive advantage. We don’t just treat symptoms; we address the underlying conditions that allow weeds to thrive. By improving turf density and grass health alongside targeted weed control, we create conditions where your grass outcompetes weeds naturally.

Our experienced team understands the weed species common to New Hampshire lawns and knows which control methods work best for each. From broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover to grassy weeds like crabgrass and nutsedge, we have the knowledge and professional-grade products to eliminate the weeds threatening your lawn’s beauty and health.

Homeowners throughout New Hampshire trust The Difference Landscapes for weed control that transforms problem lawns into pristine, weed-free spaces their families can enjoy. We understand that every lawn is different, with unique weed pressures, grass types, and growing conditions. That’s why we tailor our residential weed control approach to your property’s specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.

Our residential weed control service includes:

• Pre-emergent weed control to prevent crabgrass and annual weeds before they germinate

Unlike retail weed control products that often deliver inconsistent results, our professional-grade treatments provide superior control with fewer applications. We target weeds at the right growth stages when they’re most vulnerable, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact.

Our Weed Control Approach & Treatment Methods

Effective weed control requires more than just spraying herbicides—it requires understanding weed biology, proper product selection, precise timing, and integration with overall lawn health practices. Our weed control service follows a strategic, multi-faceted approach that delivers superior results while promoting long-term lawn health.

Pre-Emergent Weed Control

Prevention is the most effective weed control strategy. Pre-emergent herbicides create a barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating, stopping problems before they start. We apply pre-emergent treatments at critical times to prevent:

• Crabgrass – Applied in early spring before soil temperatures trigger germination
• Annual bluegrass – Fall applications prevent cool-season annual weeds
• Other annual weeds – Targeted timing based on weed species and life cycles

Pre-emergent applications are particularly important for crabgrass control. Once crabgrass is actively growing, it’s much harder to eliminate. Our properly timed spring applications prevent up to 90% of potential crabgrass problems, saving you from battling these aggressive weeds all summer.

Post-Emergent Weed Control

For weeds that are already growing in your lawn, post-emergent herbicides provide effective control. We use selective herbicides that target broadleaf weeds while leaving your grass unharmed. Our post-emergent weed control targets:

• Dandelions – Deep-rooted perennials that spread rapidly
• Clover – Nitrogen-fixing plants that indicate low soil fertility
• Plantain – Broadleaf weeds common in compacted areas
• Chickweed – Cool-season annual that thrives in thin turf
• Ground ivy (creeping charlie) – Aggressive perennial requiring specialized treatment
• Wild violets – Difficult-to-control perennials in shaded areas
• Spurge – Summer annual spreading in hot, dry conditions

We apply post-emergent treatments when weeds are actively growing and most susceptible to control. Treatment timing considers temperature, moisture, and weed growth stage to maximize effectiveness. Multiple applications may be necessary for persistent or hard-to-control weeds.

Grassy Weed Control

Controlling grassy weeds in lawns requires specialized products and techniques since both weeds and desired turf are grasses. We provide targeted control for:

• Crabgrass – Summer annual that germinates in spring
• Nutsedge – Perennial sedge (not a true grass) requiring specific treatments
• Quackgrass – Aggressive perennial grass spreading by rhizomes
• Nimblewill – Warm-season perennial creating brown patches in cool-season lawns

Grassy weed control often requires careful spot treatment to avoid damaging surrounding turf. Our experienced applicators identify grassy weeds accurately and apply appropriate treatments with precision.

Integrated Weed Management

The most effective weed control combines chemical treatments with cultural practices that promote dense, healthy turf. Thick grass is your lawn’s best defense against weeds—it shades the soil, outcompetes weed seedlings, and fills in gaps before weeds can establish. Our integrated approach includes:

• Proper mowing height – Taller grass shades soil and prevents weed seed germination
• Adequate fertilization – Well-fed grass grows thick enough to crowd out weeds
• Core aeration – Relieves compaction that stresses grass and favors weeds
• Overseeding – Fills thin areas before weeds can colonize
• Soil pH adjustment – Corrects conditions that favor certain weed species

By combining targeted weed treatments with practices that improve turf density and vigor, we create conditions where your grass thrives and weeds struggle to survive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Weed Control

When should I start weed control treatments?

Early spring pre-emergent applications (typically March-April) prevent crabgrass and annual weeds. Post-emergent broadleaf weed treatments work best in late spring and fall when weeds are actively growing and temperatures are moderate. We customize timing based on your specific weed problems.

How long before I see results from weed control treatments?

Post-emergent treatments typically show results within 7-14 days as weeds yellow, wilt, and die. Some difficult weeds may require multiple treatments. Pre-emergent products prevent germination, so you won’t see results immediately—you simply won’t see weeds appear later.

Is weed control safe for children and pets?

When applied by licensed professionals following label directions, modern herbicides are safe for use around children and pets. We typically recommend keeping people and pets off treated areas until products dry (usually 2-4 hours). We provide specific guidance with each application.

Why do I still have weeds after treatment?

Some weeds require multiple treatments for complete control. New weeds may also germinate from seeds already in the soil. Our seasonal programs include multiple applications throughout the growing season for continuous control. Difficult weeds like ground ivy or wild violets may take several treatments over multiple seasons.

Can weed control damage my grass?

We use selective herbicides specifically designed to control weeds while leaving grass unharmed. Proper product selection, application timing, and technique prevent grass damage. Temperature extremes (very hot or cold) can sometimes cause temporary grass discoloration, but grass recovers quickly.

Will weed control prevent all weeds?

While professional weed control dramatically reduces weed pressure, no treatment eliminates 100% of weeds permanently. Weed seeds constantly blow in from surrounding areas, and some established perennial weeds are persistent. Our seasonal programs provide ongoing control to keep lawns looking their best.

Should I do anything before or after weed control treatment?

Before treatment, avoid mowing for 2-3 days to ensure adequate leaf surface for herbicide absorption. After treatment, wait 2-3 days before mowing to give products time to work. Avoid watering for 24 hours after application. We provide specific instructions with each service.

How much does professional weed control cost?

Cost depends on lawn size, weed severity, and number of treatments needed. Most residential lawns benefit from 4-5 applications per season. We provide detailed estimates based on your specific property and needs. Professional weed control typically costs less than you’d spend on multiple retail products while delivering better results.

Can I do weed control myself?

Homeowners can apply retail weed control products, but professional applications offer advantages: commercial-grade products with better control, licensed applicators with training and experience, proper timing based on weed biology, equipment that ensures even coverage, and guaranteed results. Most customers find professional service more effective and convenient.

Do you offer organic or natural weed control?

We focus on science-based weed control methods proven most effective for New Hampshire lawns. While some natural products exist, they generally provide limited control compared to selective herbicides. We can discuss options and help you choose the approach that aligns with your preferences and expectations.
