Taking On the Number One Threat to the Yard of Your Dreams: Weeds

(StatePoint) If you’re a homeowner who takes pride in your lawn, you know how big a headache weeds are.

To help you achieve the yard of your dreams, Exmark has partnered with Jason Creel, the owner of Alabama Lawn Pros, on a new video offering tips and insights into tackling weeds.

“I don’t endorse a simple spray-and-pray strategy. Identifying weeds and understanding their life cycle is essential to using the right product at the right time and in the right amount,” says Creel.

As broken down in the video, here are the major categories of weeds to be aware of:

Grassy weeds , like crab grass and goose grass may look like regular turf grass, but they’re not nearly as uniform.

Broadleaf weeds , like dandelion and clover, stand out with their wide leaves, bright flowers and seed heads.
