Professional Weed Control for Tulsa Homes and Businesses
Weed Control for Tulsa Lawns
Tulsa's climate is great for weeds. Summer heat, winter mildness, and seasonal rains help invasive weeds spread on properties. Left untreated, weeds spread over healthy grass, creating thin patches and diminishing curb appeal.
Our weed management solutions cater to Oklahoma's specific needs. We take into consideration the various growing conditions in Tulsa and also recognize the seasonal behavior of weeds. Through the combination of pre emergent and post emergent treatments and various fertilization services, we develop a comprehensive, detailed, and targeted lawn program that improves the health of your lawn and provides you with lasting results.
Our treatment plans are customized to the species of turf at your facility. Whether you have Bermuda grass, fescue, or another variety of turf, our schedules consider the optimal growth cycles of the turf variety while minimizing the growth of weeds.
Our 7 Step Weed Control & Fertilization Program
Our 7 step lawn treatment program provides year round protection and nutrition for Tulsa lawns.
Step 2: Early Spring Fertilization
Balanced fertilizer helps your lawn transition from its winter hibernation and start rooting.
Step 3: Spring Weed Control Treatment
We treat visible broadleaf weeds and add nutrients during the warmer months for healthy turf growth.
Step 4: Early Summer Fertilization
Summer feeding helps the lawn resist stress and competing weeds during the hottest time of the summer.
Step 1: Late Winter Pre Emergent Application
To treat spring weeds before they germinate, we implement pre-emergent weed control. This treatment focuses on annual weeds, such as crabgrass, and is effective before they become noticeable.
Step 5: Summer Weed Monitoring & Treatment
We monitor lawn density and weed growth during the growing season.
Step 6: Fall Pre Emergent Application
Weed prevention is vital during fall in Tulsa. Preventative measures at this time help deal with winter weeds that include henbit and chickweed.
Step 7: Fall Fertilization & Lawn Support
A final winter feeding readies the lawn for winter and promotes a stronger spring green up.
Common Weeds We Treat in Tulsa
Tulsa homeowners deal with a wide range of lawn weeds throughout the year. Our treatments target many of the most common varieties found across northeastern Oklahoma.
Crabgrass
Crabgrass is one of the most aggressive summer weeds in Tulsa lawns. It spreads rapidly in thin turf areas and can quickly take over if not prevented early.
Henbit
This winter annual weed is common throughout Tulsa neighborhoods. Henbit often appears in late winter and early spring, creating purple patches across lawns.
Clover
Clover can spread throughout healthy lawns and compete with turfgrass for space and nutrients.
Dandelions
Dandelions produce deep roots that make them difficult to control without professional treatment.
Chickweed
Frequently appearing during cooler months, chickweed can spread quickly when left untreated.
Broadleaf Weeds
Many Tulsa lawns experience various broadleaf weeds that require targeted post emergent treatments for effective control.
Pre emergent treatments offer an excellent solution for keeping a lawn free of weeds. Unlike traditional treatments that spray and kill existing weeds, pre emergent products offer a protective treatment that keeps weed seeds from germinating.
When it comes to Tulsa lawns, timing makes a difference. Our team usually suggests pre emergent applications for late winter and early spring, before soils get warm for crabgrass to germinate. We recommend fall pre emergent treatments to help winter weeds from germinating.
When you time the application of the correct pre-emergent products, your lawn will thrive during the growing season and there will be less demand for overzealous weed treatments.
Pre Emergent Weed Control
Post Emerent Weed Control
Some weeds may still grow during the year even with preventative measures in place. Our post emergent weed control targets and removes existing weeds while keeping healthy grass unaffected.
We identify the exact weeds on your property and use tailored treatment plans for those specific varieties. By treating weeds proactively, we can halt the spreading and seeding of new weeds.
Post-emergent treatments are particularly crucial in the spring and summer when weed growth is easily noticed.
A common lawn type in Tulsa is Bermuda grass because it thrives in the Oklahoma heat, and it grows in a nice, thick, full manner. But, in order to make sure Bermuda grass looks its best, it needs to be fertilized properly.
Our fertilization program offers essential nutrients for Bermuda lawns throughout the growing season. Frequent fertilization results in deeper roots, enhanced color, improved drought tolerance, and denser turf.
Weed growth is inhibited by Bermuda grass because it is denser and therefore allows less space for weeds to grow. Weed control services paired with fertilization help to improve the resiliency of the lawn in the coming years.

Watering Instructions After Treatment
Successful weed control and fertilization treatments rely on proper watering.
Most of the time, you want to water pre-emergents within the suggested time frame to the help the product activate and move into the soil to do its job. Likewise, if the circumstances call for it, fertilization treatments may be helped along by a light watering.
After every appointment, our technicians leave you with instructions so you can take care of your lawn. Adhering to suggestions leaves room for improvement and better grass.
Many homeowners wonder when children and pets can go back on the treated lawn.
In general we suggest that typical lawn use should wait until the application has completed the drying process. Different drying times will depend on the weather, how humid it is, and the specific treatment that has been applied.
We generally recommend that typical activity on the lawn be delayed for as long as the treatment is still drying. The time it takes for a treatment to dry will vary depending on the weather, the humidity, and the treatment itself.

After fighting a tough battle with aggressive crabgrass and re-emerging clover, one Tulsa homeowner reached out to us for help. Lots of unkempt patches covered his lawn and made it look uneven and difficult to manage.
After signing up for our 7 step weed control and fertilization program, we began seasonal pre-emergent treatments as well as specific post-emergent treatments along with routine fertilization. The results after one season of growth was a lawn that was denser, of a stronger color, and with much less weed pressure.
