Weeds in the Desert
Talk to someone who isn’t from Phoenix and they’ll think it’s strange that people have to deal with weeds at all. After all, Arizona is mostly desert, right?
Before Weed Control
While it is true that there is a vast amount of desert ecosystem in Arizona, people have found ways to make their lawns interesting, strong, and even nice and grassy. But that doesn’t stop native desert weeds from attempting to pop up now and then. With all the work we do, the weeds are more than happy to try and take advantage of a little extra food or water.
What To Do When Weeds Appear
Dealing with weeds that want to grow in your lawn will all depend on different factors. Do you have a lot of weeds to deal with or just one every now and then? What kind of weed is it? While many weeds are very prolific, some are even more so than others. Some weeds can be handled with regular weeding of your lawn, whereas others can be a lot more difficult, reappearing time after time at a record pace and overtaking great portions of your lawn or garden.
One thing to try and avoid today is the use of herbicides. There are a lot of different and greener methods available that give you the chance to get rid of weeds without being forced to poison your lawn or garden. These herbicides can end up as runoff into water systems and are generally harmful not only to the environment but the people in the area – including yourself and your family.

After Weed Control
Don’t know what to do about the weeds growing in your yard? Or perhaps you’re not even sure the plant giving you problems is a weed. You can always contact a Phoenix weed control company in order to learn more about what is happening in your garden or lawn, as well as what can be done about it. When you contact the right Phoenix weed control company, you will also be happy to learn that they use smarter methods of weed removal, including less toxic herbicide.
They will know all about how to handle weeds in the area, such as laying down pre-emergence formulas to keep weed seeds from germinating, to the reasons weeds sprout at unpredictable times (typically due to unpredictable weather). After weed removal, it’s simply a matter of great turf care so weeds never have the chance to take root again!
