I’ve been battling wild violets from my neighbors lawn which is entirely full of weeds. I just cannot get them to go away. I’m thinking of putting up wood fence just to stop the weeds because all my time and money into my lawn goes down the drain from my neighbor’s lack of care of their lawn.
Hey thanks for reaching out! Because we take so much PRIDE on our lawns sometimes we forget what’s it’s all about and that is to enjoy it! No lawn is ever perfect. Don’t let the neighbors neglect or lack of effort steal your joy! But… you can give them our number if you want! 😜 -Parker Farison-
Great question, creeping Charlie and ground ivy are the same plant/weed. They are much easier to control than Violets. Fertilizer, having such a high salt index "COULD" burn many turf related plants. And that is why we watch our rates and timing of those applications. Post-emergent, Weed control applications are the only method of practice we use for broad leaf weeds.

Wonder why we call a shy person a "shrinking violet?" Sounds like violets are kinda the bad-you-know-whats of the weeds!
Violets are definitely a "pain in my grass" sometimes!
So is a wild violet same as creeping charley or ground ivy? I found out a strong fertilizer can burn those out.

Sprinkled baking soda worked on my creeping Charlie.
@@farisonlawncare Just use some T Zone that will do the trick.
Why not kill the grass and keep the violets?
