Identifying the Most Common Lawn Weeds

Guarding against common lawn weeds is one the most effective ways to maintain a healthy and beautiful lawn.

Whether you are dealing with common annual or perennial weeds, these unwanted plants compete for resources and nutrients meant for your lawn and have the potential to grow rapidly. A single dandelion has the ability to produce up to 15,000 seeds that can quickly take root.

When weeds start to appear in your lawn, it is recommended to take action promptly by hand weeding young weeds before they have a chance to seed or develop deep roots. This can effectively prevent their spread. One of the first steps in preventing and combating a week outbreak is to identify what common weed variety. And while there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of weed species, most of the weeds you will encounter are one of the everyday varieties that pop up year after year in our lawns.

Weeds come in all shapes and sizes but they all fall into one of two categories:

  • Annual weeds. These are weeds that sprout, flower and die in a single season. They reproduce by producing seeds which can spread if not removed or treated properly. Some of the most common annual lawn weeds are dandelions, crabgrass, clover, henbit, foxtail, and spurge.
  • Perennial weeds. These plants are a major problem for lawns and gardens due to their ability to come back year after year. Identifying perennial weeds is the first step in controlling their spread and keeping them from taking over your lawn. Some common types of perennial weeds include dandelion, clover, bindweed, thistle, wild onion, chickweed, and quackgrass.

Morning Glory

Morning Glory weed control. morning glories growing.Morning glory is a vine growing plant that can have blooms of various colors. As beautiful as these vines look, they are extremely difficult to remove because of their deep root system. Trying to eliminate them by pulling them out of the soil will not work. The roots will still continue to grow underneath the soil and sprout up again and again. Morning glory prefers a temperate and moisturized habitat, which is why they flourish in western climate. This plant is acknowledged as an invasive weed because of its deep root system, which out-competes and smothers other plants.

How to Identify Morning Glory

• Large heart-shaped leaves with various colors of flowers.

• Tendrils that can easily wrap around other plants and structures.

• Long, thick roots that are difficult to remove from the ground.

Crabgrass

crabgrassCrabgrass, also known as finger grass, is an extremely common weed. There are two main types in North America: hairy crabgrass and smooth crabgrass. Crabgrass grows well in warm regions where the soil lacks nutrients and proper water drainage. Because crabgrass grows better in thinning or shortly-cut grass, lawn maintenance methods can be taken to prevent crabgrass, such as mowing your lawn higher than 2.5 inches.

How to Identify Crabgrass

• Low-growing, spreading grass with firm stems.

• Leaves are green to grayish-green in color and have a rough texture.

• Blades are narrow and pointed at the tips.

Bentgrass

bentgrass on lawnBentgrass looks similar to lawn grass and is used as the primary grass on golf courses and some yards. It is a troublesome weed to eliminate if it invades your yard because it is easily disguised. It can be hard to identify and hard to eliminate because it looks like grass. It can grow without notice and takeover your yard slowly and effectively. It is extremely invasive. If you find bentgrass in your yard, call a professional weed-control and lawn service company to remove it immediately.

How to Identify Invasive Bentgrass

Bentgrass is an invasive weed that looks like lawn grass and can be difficult to identify. The blades of bentgrass are narrow and pointed at the tips, while the leaves are typically a light green or grayish-green color with a rough texture. It tends to grow low to the ground in spreading patches, and its stems are firm

Thistle

Thistle weed control needed for purple thistle Lawn Weeds shownThistle is easily identifiable by its prickles. It’s not a fun weed to have in your yard, especially if you have children playing barefoot in the lawn. Although thistles don’t pose a life-threatening threat, their sting can be extremely painful. Thistle typically appears in late summer.

 

How to Identify Thistle

• Has sharp prickles on its stem and leaves.

• Leaves are deeply lobed and toothed, with a white waxy coating.

• Purple-pink flowers appear at the top of the plant.

Black Medic

black medic weed control services. black medic with yellow clover flowers shown.Medicago Lupulina, often referred to as Black Medic, is a common but invasive weed in North America. Like many other prostrate plants that grow low to the ground, Black Medic can survive in harsh climates due to a large taproot that grows deeper than most grasses.

 

 

How to Identify Black Medic

• A low, ground-hugging weed that can grow on poor soil.

• Has a distinct yellow blossom that grows in clusters.

• Leaves are made of three leaflets with a white chevron pattern along the stems.

Spurge

How to Identify Spurge

• The stems are green or reddish in color and have a milky sap which is toxic to animals and humans.

• Leaves are oval and arranged in pairs along the stem.

• Flowers appear in clusters at the top of the plant, and can be yellow, white, or pink in color.

White Clover

Dutch White Clover Lawn Weed

White clover is an incredibly common weed in lawns and gardens, and it’s often hard to eliminate because of its deep roots. It can be identified by its small white flowers and three-leaf shape. White clover is a broadleaf perennial weed that spreads rapidly, so it’s important to take measures to control or eliminate it promptly.

 

How to Identify White Clover

• Has small, white flowers and three-leaf shape.

• Leaves are thick, leathery, and have a white or yellowish V-shape with a dark mark in the middle.

• Grows low to the ground in patches with shallow roots.

Chickweed

photo of chickweedChickweed is a common weed that spreads quickly and can choke out other plants. It is recognizable by its small white flowers, and it prefers moist soil with plenty of shade. Chickweed reproduces rapidly and if left unattended, it can become a problem in your lawn.

 

 

 

 

How to Identify Chickweed:

• Small, white, star-shaped flowers.

• Has small, oval-shaped leaves that are arranged in pairs along the stem.

• Stems are typically reddish or green in color and hairy.

Plantain Grass

Narrow Leaf Plantain Grass WeedPlantain grass is a common weed that can have either a green or purple color. It looks similar to a blade of grass, but its leaves are wider and thicker. Plantain grass thrives in lawns with poor fertility or inadequate sunlight, and it grows well in compacted soil. Plantain grass has deep roots which makes it difficult to remove with hand-weeding, so it’s important to take preventive measures or call a professional for help.

How to Identify Plantain Grass:

• Leaves are wide and thick, with a dark green or purple color.

• Stems are stout and upright.

• Flowers are small and white, with tiny, yellow centers.

Dandelions

Senske Dandelion killer needed for Dandelions growing in lawnDandelion plants are incredibly hard to get rid of; their roots can be up to six feet long! What’s more, when broken, each individual taproot can grow up to five new shoots. So ‘pulling weeds’ will not effectively eliminate dandelions. Dandelions flower during the spring and fall. Their flowers are at first bright yellow, before they turn into a ball of seeds. Dandelions are pesky weeds because of how quickly they spread, due to their lightweight seeds that travel in the wind.

How to Identify Dandelions

• Bright yellow flowers that turn into white, puff-ball type seed heads.

• The leaves are deeply lobed and toothed.

• Spreads quickly due to their lightweight seeds that travel in the wind.
