How to get rid of weeds in the lawn

- The best way to kill weeds is to start by killing the most weeds first, and then moving on to harder to kill weeds. Getting rid of weeds is actually easier than most people think
First - Get a generic weed killer like weed be gone plus crabgrass killer. Spray all the weeds in your lawn. After a week or two you will have killed most if not all of the weeds.
Second - If you have nutsedge in your lawn, get the ortho nutsedge killer. This will get rid of many more weeds that are harder to kill. A week later go around ad spot spray again to make sure you get rid of them.
If you don't have nutsedge, or have other hard to kill weeds, get ortho chickweed, clover, and oxalis killer. And do the same thing. Spray it to kill the weeds, and followup about a week later. (harder to kill weeds usually take 2 applications).
Third - If by now there are still weeds to get rid of, come to The Lawn Forum and post photos. We'll help you identify the tricky weeds and how to kill them. Many of the weeds in this category people don't bother killing. But if you want that perfect lawn, you want that perfect lawn, so we'll tell you how to get rid of them ;-)

Thanks for the plug for the lawn forum. It is exactly the kind of resource I have been looking for. FWIW, that whistling song you play in many of your vids is part of your brand. It works well, and sometimes it comes into my head while I am watering in the morning.
great!! I might have to check the volume settings. when Adobe updated it reset a bunch, so it could be the volume is too high, I wasn't getting any complaints a while ago =P but yes it's my brand and it's too late now it's in my head too hehe
Great lawn video, so clear and lively. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the vid. I have a broadleaf and dandelion issue up here in Colorado. Any suggestions
Thank you so much I have a weed problem in my back yard. This video helped out a lot
Great video. I tried bayer season long weed control, have you any experience with this particular bottle? It doesn't seem to be working. I feel I followed the instructions accordingly but have zero results unfortunately. I have an abundance of weeds, including goatheads, spurge, crabgrass, and a variety of others. How long after spraying the bayer product can I get something else without harming my lawn. I have bermuda. Thanks.
Thanks for the simple solution. Will the Ortho stuff you are using kill the dandelions also?
Thanks bro ,, appreciate you’re vid!!!
Another good video as always... had good luck with using Ortho special Weed B Gone for Clover & Chickweed, sprayed using a hand can with some Baby Shampoo ... one point, it takes about 6-10 days before starting to see the results.. patience is needed before applying a second application.... you are right, the premix is good for the general weeds and easier to apply... I like to use the premix as a follow up for the surviving weeds from the first application, after waiting four weeks... I will check out your grass forum .... great job as always ...
Chuck Kowalski yeah the followup spray usually needs way less so "spot" spraying is convenient that way
Helpful information thank you for sharing !!
thanks for watching!
I'm not sure if you're still replying to comments/questions, but I'll try anyways. I sprayed my lawn, which is full of weeds, with the product. What do I do while waiting for 1 week to see if it worked? Do I spray any more in between? I just recently bought a house and I want a nice lawn, but its full of weeds, patchy, and looks nice and flat from far away, but when you get close it's not that pleasant to walk on because it's not level. Any advice would be appreciated.
is there a way to adjust the distance of the spray? mine goes about half the distance of your spray and the bottle is going empty fast so i stopped after a few seconds. any tips on how to get the bottle spray farther? i have a good pressure garden hose.
While spraying, do I need to cover myself for protection, or there is no harm to us? And how many times a year should be done this ?
Thanks for the advice, I’ve gotta watch thru all of your videos, and read all the comments... but right now I’m tryin to find out if I should cut my lawn first or blanket spray the whole thing...? my lawn is all weeds...
You want to leave a day or two in between but the actual order doesn't matter too much
Grass Daddy cool imma mow my lawn as soon as I get back in town
Do I see oxalis around the border! Its starting here along with nutsedge and also I have noticed red thread appearing. You know I love this work it keeps you on your toes! lol! Great vid
+Bizzy Beez lawn-n-landscape yeah the neighbor has some of everything lol
Great video and appreciate the assistance in advance
I'm going to pick up some if the Nutsedge stuff, just laid my sod a few weeks ago and the Nutsedge is already showing up!
ripcurl711711 get at it!
How many days do I need to wait after I spray for weeds before I mow my lawn? Great channel. Thanks
+Nate Olson generally 2 days before or after
Can you use those on grass seeds that just started growing. I planted grass seeds about a month ago and I can see weeds growing in with the grass. Do you recommend use it??
You have to wait so many weeks. The label should specify but usually after mowing two times
Is it safe on Bermuda grass? Our weeds is hideous out of control
Hey GD. I have what appear to be little trees popping up throughout my lawn. They honestly look like miniature 3 inch trees. Broadleaf, most are 2 leaves per stem. Never had them before. Not sure how they got there. Wind, birds??? Any idea how to control this? Mowing will obviously keep them stunted, but will they eventually go away? Any ideas or suggestions?
if they are tree sprouts then eventually they'll die off, they only have so much energy to regenerate so many times.
I use Quicksilver ever you heard about it? It's kind of expensive but it's very good, I'm about to start my Pest Control business next week here in Florida. Great channel
+Pedro Brandao Ive heard about it but never used it
Thanks
Good afternoon buddy. Got a question. I just seeded my lawn and bare spots with Bermuda seeds. Things are growing great. So, when can I put spray for weeds and apply a pre-emergant?
+SecularSoutherner504 they usually say after 3 mowings
When should the first mow be since I've only planted them within the last two weeks and they're only about an inch or so high?
SecularSoutherner504 good question. I wait till its 3in. if you intend on growing bermuda under 1in Im not sure. the warm season guys at thelawnforum.com do low cut bermuda.
I'll give it a couple more weeks.
SecularSoutherner504 check out grass factor on youtube as well, he has bermuda and the weed killers you guys can use are awesome. once that is mature it can handle 2lbs of nitrogen too (he is doing it monthly)
I agree, you don't have to get designer weed killer for proper weed control. The reason many people don't like this type of weed control is because they are using it improperly.
Toby Howard yes read the instructions ;)
Question at 3:54 there is something growing in the dirt around the stump. What is it? It looks like a weed that has started growing in all my flower beds like mad crazy. I don't know what it is or how to rid it.
Good question. It looks like mini tree sprouts. In the yard they are easy, mow over them once or twice and they die off.
it's fall but still feels like summer lately here in NY, but I've read that the fall is a great time to seed. BUT I have a ton of weeds. Can I do both? What should be done first or does it not matter? Or should I focus on killing weeds now and wait til the spring to seed? Also - after spraying weeds do you need to pull them out of the ground? Or they will eventually just die and go away? sorry lol newby lawn enthusiast here :) love your channel btw!
+Jackie Comitino I would seed now and then kill weeds 4 weeks after the seed germinates. Also if you use scotts starter with weed preventer it should kill some weeds while being safe for seed
What do you recommend to kill Burweed in Centipede grass in April?
Ask at thelawnforum.com - I don't have centipede so I don't know what products are safe to use on it, but the warm season forum there will have more knowledgable people in that realm ;-)
I got a pretty bad mix of clover (And I think creeping Charlie) invading my lawn, what weed killer should I use for it?
Kenyon Payne ortho CCO - chickweed, clover an oxalis.. there are ready to spray and mix yourself versions
Did the nutsedge killer yellow your lawn at all?
After using weed killer spray, do i need to pull the dead weeds or leave them there?
Leave them
on the bottle it says don't spray on the entire lawn..I'm confused
I don't think it's a big deal to blanket spray but why not just hit the spots that have weeds and save some money on product? Love the channel.
freethinker3161 exactly my thoughts. now if your lawn is mostly weeds you can do the blanket but even these hose end ones its easy to switch from water to chem to water
What if you have flowers and other plants ? would that kill the plants and flowers as well?!
If you spray them yes, a flower in the lawn is a weed
Let’s say you have just planted a nice tree and around it is full of weed after few weeks, if you spray that weed killer, would that kill the tree?
After useing this product when can we water the yard and give it a cut?
You want to mow two days before or after spraying weeds, otherwise you cut off the leaf of the weed that has the weed killer. As for rain each product differs but usually a few hours.
Awsome thanks! Can the grass be fertilized the day I cut the grass, I’m in Arizona and it’s reaching high in 90• low 50•
You can fertilize the same day but at high temps you want to use a slow release fertilizer. If you have a cool season lawn you'd skip fert till it cools down but you probably have a warm season lawn?
Grass Daddy it’s warm out here hot that is. I’m a new home owner and when we bought our home grass was soo beautiful and green. I’m just having a hard time getting it back to what it once was. I watched your videos and has been great. Now that we are going into the summer I just want to keep the green going. I do have alfalfa and rye during the winter. Oh and it is our first 1year in our new home and I didn’t know about pre emergents and post new to the game in yard care. So any advice will be helpful. Thanks
I would post some photos to thelawnforum.com, both far away and super close up shots. Then we can help you figure out what type of grass you have to better plan.
Does it kill dandy lions?
It kills dandelions but excellent lions I would not try spraying, they'll get you fast
@@GrassDaddy lol
how does the chemical know the weeds are weeds and the grass is grass?
It doesn't. The weeds just can't process the chemical like the grass can. What's interesting is some of the products replicate nature. There is a bush that allows grass to grow but not weeds nearby, it secretes something into the soil that weeds can't handle but grass can.
I stopped by the lawn forum. Maybe I was in the wrong place. I looked at the last posting dates and they were all ancient.
Rob J thelawnforum.com ?
sorry...left...the...out...sorry.
Waiting on my account to be approved.
Is it pet friendly ??
All the chemicals I use are safe around kids/animals when applied according to the label. Most of the time it's as simple as waiting till the product dries before letting pets/kids back on the lawnm
Why are the reviews for those types of weed killers so terrible? This would make things a lot easier for me but do the hose-attached kinds really work if so many people seem to have bad luck with them?
TheBaseballLiker cost is #1 and user error #2. some weeds you have to followup spray and many times people think weed be gone kills all types of weeds. on top of that there are a few versions of weed be gone, ortho, etc so people get confused (one of the reasons i think its terrible there is a roundup weed killer now lol)
Grass Daddy yeah I actually used to use the RTU WeedBGon ,heavy two applications 10 days apart,the stuff actually works surpringly well
Is there a safer way? I have pets and a toddler...
I've got 5 kids, and they were babies too. The key is to read the label. For the most part liquid products you have to wait until the spray has dried. Dry products you have to water in and then wait till dry. The real safety issue is storage - I've got mine locked in a cabinet or in those 5 gallon home depot buckets that even I struggle to get into ;-)
weed-b-gon is the shit
Al Beebe nah thats milo =P
Grass Daddy based grass seed merchant
Not trying to troll, but your lawn looks amateur. What's up with that? Are you renovating?
Eric Kersten yeah I renovated late last year and had to do the hill this spring
I figured. Just started following. Thanks for the content.
Eric Kersten yeah I killed it for the channel lol SeedSuperStore.com sent me seed to use ;)
My concern is with how toxic these are. My cats and dog love chewing on grass and my dog was just operated for a tumor.
please that song is detracting from when you talk
May as well just use Scott's weed n feed. Ortho is a Scott's company, you will kill the weeds and you lawn will get better fertilized than what you are getting with milorganite.
+Cory BT liquid weed killer is far more effective than granular no matter who the company is
Grass Daddy IDK, been using Scott's weed n feed for years haven't had any issues with weeds in my yard. Bought a new house this spring with no lawn in the back (front was sodded), mostly bare spots with weeds and a little Bermuda/St. Augustine Used the weed n feed, my lawn is thick and lush with no bare spots or weeds 5 months later. No seeding, no milorganite every other week and no messing around with tons of separate weed killers. To each is own I guess.
