Weed control
We treat the weeds, not the whole lawn. Targeted spot-treatment with spot spraying puts product where it's needed - on the weed, not your grass.
What is targeted weed treatment?
Targeted weed treatment uses spot spraying to apply herbicide directly to individual weeds. Unlike blanket spraying, which covers the entire lawn surface, this approach treats only the plants that need treating.
Most lawn care companies blanket-spray the whole lawn with a selective herbicide. It works, but it means putting product on grass that doesn't need it. Our approach is more precise: we walk the lawn, identify the weeds, and apply treatment directly to each one with spot spraying. Less product on your lawn, more targeted results.
Weeds we treat
The most common weeds in Essex lawns:
Dandelions
deep taproot, bright yellow flower. Easily treated with spot spraying.
Clover
low-growing, spreading patches. Responds well to targeted treatment.
Daisies
low rosettes in frequently mown lawns. Treatment is effective but they can return in thin grass.
Plantain
broad or narrow-leaved, tough rosettes. Responds to treatment.
Buttercup
spreading habit, yellow flowers. Can indicate damp conditions.
Speedwell
small blue flowers, creeping habit. More persistent; treatment combined with lawn thickening.
When we treat weeds
Weeds are actively growing from mid-spring through autumn. We apply treatment when weeds are in active growth - typically April through September. Treatment during this window is most effective because the weed absorbs the product fully.
We don't treat in winter or early spring when weeds are dormant - it would be a waste of product and your money.
