Broken Arrow Weed Control & Fertilization
Keeping your Oklahoma lawn in good shape calls for more than just regular mowing. At Walter's Lawn Service, we have a dedicated 7-step system for weed control and fertilization that we offer for both residential and commercial clients in Broken Arrow, OK. Our system wards off the appearance of weeds, removes already established weeds, and bolsters your lawn for the upcoming seasons. Our goal is to help every client, whether you live in Forest Ridge or oversee a commercial property in Downtown Broken Arrow, maintain a lawn that is lush, green, and resistant to the invasive weeds that are common in Oklahoma.
Throughout the seasons, a variety of weeds invade the lawns of Broken Arrow, including clover, dandelions, and broadleafs which all drain nutrients and moisture from the grass. These pesky invasives inevitably worsen the health of the turf. To counter this, we provide custom lawn care that improves turf health and decreases pressure from invasive species. With the combination of professional applications, local experience, and committed services, Walter’s Lawn Service takes the guesswork out of lawn care so that property owners can enjoy the benefits of a healthy lawn.
Professional Weed Control for Broken Arrow Homes and Businesses
Weed Control for Broken Arrow Lawns
Broken Arrow's weather is perfect for weed growth. The combination of warm weather, long rainfall, and long growing seasons means that invasive species have ample time to grow in both commercial and residential areas. Weeds have good chance of spreading throughout the grass and even ruining areas of the lawn that are still healthy. This is a problem for the value and appearance of a property known as curb appeal.
Our weed control services target Oklahoma lawns. We know Oklahoma and when the weeds start acting up during the year. We develop a personalized long-term plan using a combination of pre and post-emergent applications and lawn fertilization.
Our team develops a customized treatment schedule for each customer that promotes healthy Bermuda, fescue, zoysia, or other turf variety grass while preventing the growth of unwanted weeds.
Our 7 Step Weed Control & Fertilization Program
Our 7-step lawn care program gives the lawns in Broken Arrow year-round protection and nourishment.
Step 2: Early Spring Fertilization
Fertilizer balance aids recovery from winter dormancy while bolstering root systems.
Step 3: Spring Weed Control Treatment
We manage invasive broadleaf weeds and treat turf with nutrients when it is warm enough.
Step 4: Early Summer Fertilization
Summer feeding strengthens your lawn which helps it compete against weeds during stressful times like the heat.
Step 1: Late Winter Pre Emergent Application
Pre emergent weed control is used before spring weeds start to appear. This treatment prevents crabgrass and other annual weeds before they start to become a problem.
Step 5: Summer Weed Monitoring & Treatment
Our team focuses on the active weeds that show up over the growing season, while also keeping track of lawn density and health.
Step 6: Fall Pre Emergent Application
Weed prevention in Broken Arrow is especially crucial in fall. This application prevents winter weeds like henbit and chickweed from sprouting.
Step 7: Fall Fertilization & Lawn Support
A final application of fertilizer prepares the lawn for winter and aids in a stronger 'green up' of the lawn for spring.
Common Weeds We Treat in Broken Arrow
Homeowners in Broken Arrow have to contend with numerous lawn weeds all year round. Our services address many of the prevalent weeds in northeastern Oklahoma.
Crabgrass
Alongside other pesky summer weeds, crabgrass is highly aggressive. It can dominate patches of inadequate turf and will begin to take over your lawn if allowed.
Henbit
This winter annual weed sprouts in late winter and early spring. It sprouts a patchy purple carpet on lawns.
Clover
Clover may encroach on healthy lawns where it can compete with turfgrass.
Dandelions
Getting rid of dandelions without professional help is nearly impossible since they have very deep root systems.
Chickweed
Common in the cooler months, chickweed can spread rapidly if left uncontrolled.
Broadleaf Weeds
Post emergent treatments are required to control the variety of broadleaf weeds that many Broken Arrow lawns contain.
The best method to keep your lawn free of weeds is to stop them before they emerge, and that is done with a product that creates a protective barrier. Instead of waiting for the weeds to emerge and treating them afterwards, a pre emergent product stops the seeds from developing.
Timing is everything for Broken Arrow lawns. The team at lawn and weed control usually suggests making the first pre emergent application in early spring or late winter, and before the soil temperatures become warm enough for crabgrass to emerge. Pre emergent treatments in the fall are recommended too, in order to prevent weeds that grow in the winter.
When pre emergent treatment products are applied at the best time, it is a huge benefit for your lawn to keep weeds at bay throughout the big growing season, and it also helps to reduce the amount of additional weed treatments that will be needed for the rest of the year.
Pre Emergent Weed Control
Post Emergent Weed Control
Some weeds might even pop up after we’ve done our preventive work. But our post emergent weed control services eliminate those targeting current weeds and don’t hurt the grass.
We tackle the specific kind of weed that has spread on your lawn and treat that kind of weed. The best course of action is to treat the weed as early as possible so that it doesn’t spread all over.
The spring and summer seasons are especially important for post emergent treatments because that’s when weed growth is the most obvious.
The primary lawn type in Broken Arrow is Bermuda grass. Particularly during the summer, Bermuda grass thrives in Oklahoma, creating an attractive lawn. Though Bermuda grass makes for an appealing lawn, it must be taken care of properly.
Throughout the growing season, Bermuda lawns are fertilized with the necessary nutrients. Lawns that are regularly fertilized have improved root systems, greater drought resistance, are more colorful, and have thicker turf.
An added benefit of Bermuda lawns is that, due to Bermuda grass's density, there are less opportunities for invasive plants. This further keeps weed growth at bay. Combining professional weed control and fertilization makes a lawn stronger and more resilient every year.

Watering Instructions After Treatment
Watering correctly makes weed control and fertilization treatments more successful.
Most pre emergent treatments require you to water within a specific time frame to activate the product and transport it into the soil. Different fertilization treatments may also require you to water the lawn lightly, depending on external conditions and the time the treatment is applied.
Our technicians ensure that you know exactly how to care for your lawn based on the recommendations they provide after each visit. These recommendations are designed to optimize the treatment and encourage better growth of the lawn.
Many homeowners wonder how long after treatment their children and pets must stay off the lawn.
In general, we say resume normal lawn activities after the treatment has dried completely. Drying times can vary based on treatment, humidity, and weather.
After each application, our technicians provide customized instructions specific to your property so you can safely use your outdoor spaces.

One trusted lawn care provider
Our mowing and maintenance services work alongside our weed control program to keep your property looking its best throughout the year.
A homeowner in Broken Arrow reported problems with rampant crabgrass and persistent henbit. Unfortunately, these problems had made large portions of their lawn patchy and hard to manage.
After joining our 7 step weed control and fertilization plan, we scheduled seasonal pre emergent treatments, post emergent treatments, and fertilization throughout the year. The first year after this plan, the lawn was thicker, had more color, and had much less weed pressure.
Now, this property has a Bermuda lawn that has less weeds and looks better. This lawn is also easier to maintain.
