Weed Control

We care for what you love

Weed Control Treatments

An important component of any professional lawn care program is expert weed control. Our weed control services start with a careful inspection of your turf to spot unwanted growth early on. Our lawn specialists utilize two treatment options for weed control: pre-emergence control treatments and post-emergence treatments. We use a conservative treatment approach that targets only the areas of your lawn that require weed control.

Weed Control: Prevention and Treatment

Pre-emergent Weed Control

Pre-emergent weed control management aims to prevent young seedlings from sprouting up in your lawn at the start of the season. Our lawn care specialists use carefully timed treatments, before germination, to prevent weeds without injuring your established turf. Pre-emergent treatments are effective on most grassy summer weeds, including crabgrass and foxtail, as well as a few broadleaf weeds, such as dandelions and chickweed.

Post-emergent Weed Control

Post-emergent weed control uses targeted spot applications to address the weeds already growing in your lawn. Post-emergent control is typically used on invading broadleaf weeds, such as clover, violets, and spurge.

Your SavATree specialist may combine pre- and post-emergent treatments to provide maximum weed control in your lawn.

Cultivating a Healthy, Weed-Resistant Turf

A healthy, resilient lawn is the best long-term strategy for weed control. To help you develop turf that is naturally more competitive against weeds, disease, and insects, your arborist can recommend a lawn care program that uses specially formulated nutrients and slow-release fertilizers tailored to the needs of your property. 

Troublesome Lawn Weeds

Below are types of weeds that threaten the health of your turf, and for which pre-emergent weed control services are strongly advised.

  • crabgrass
  • foxtail
  • goosegrass
  • buckhorn
  • chickweed
  • clover

The crew was on time, courteous, and cleaned up afterwards. The tree was pruned to my satisfaction.

The crew was great. Luis, the foreman shared insights on his knowledge of tree roots. I have trees that needed replanted to allow for more shade in certain areas of the property and they transplanted them. I am so happy with the results.

Perfect service, easy to respond, and fast turnaround. We needed a pruning of a tree to comply with city standards. The representative Frank was very nice and did a great job. We compared prices and they had a good estimate.

When Nye's came to my home to give me an estimate, the tree expert listened to my concerns, and gave me a couple of options. He did not pressure me to take the option that would cost me the most. He also gave me the option to have my work done in the winter so save money!! When the team came to trim-up my tree, I was impressed by the promptness and courtesy of the team members. We...

The Tree Mechanics very friendly and kind crew did a spectacular job getting up into the trees and removing the branches that were broken and dead. Then they picked up all the branches and turned them into small pieces with their machine. We highly recommend them for keeping trees healthy.

SavATree removed a hazard tree from my yard that was hemmed in between two homes and other trees. Their crew was very good, worked at a steady pace, well coordinated, safety conscious, planed what they needed to do so as to prevent damage to buildings and other trees, and cleaned up well when done. I plan to use them again for future work and recommend them highly.

I have used this company several times over the years primarily because they know how to trim trees correctly. An arborist evaluates the trees and directs the crew so you get an attractive and practical trimming. This years crew chief, Cory, did a wonderful job overseeing the project.
