Weed Control

Broadleaf Weed Control

Paradise Environmental Services of FL performs broadleaf weed control treatments throughout the season in South Florida using a targeted, seasonally adjusted approach to effectively eliminate weeds while protecting turfgrass health.

Assessment & Identification:

  • Inspect lawns for common broadleaf weeds like dollarweed, clover, spurge, and oxalis.
  • Determine the best treatment approach based on weed type, turfgrass variety (e.g., St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bahia), and seasonal conditions.

Selective Herbicide Application:

  • Post-emergent herbicides are used to spot-treat or blanket spray active weeds without harming desirable grass.
  • Herbicides are applied using calibrated spray equipment for even distribution and maximum effectiveness.

Ongoing Monitoring & Seasonal Adjustments:

  • Regular inspections ensure early detection of new weed outbreaks.
  • Adjustments are made based on weather conditions, soil health, and turfgrass density.
  • Proper mowing, irrigation, and fertilization practices are recommended to enhance lawn resilience and prevent weed competition.

This seasonal, precision-based approach ensures effective broadleaf weed suppression while maintaining a healthy, lush lawn in South Florida’s unique climate.

Spot Treatments

Paradise Environmental Services of FL performs spot treatment services for grassy weeds, including nutsedge, crabgrass, carpetgrass, and other invasive species, using a targeted and selective approach to eliminate weeds while protecting turfgrass in South Florida.

Assessment & Identification:

  • Inspect the lawn for specific grassy weed infestations, considering growth stage, soil conditions, and turfgrass type (e.g., St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bahia).

Selective Herbicide Application:

  • Post-emergent herbicides specifically formulated for grassy weeds are carefully applied using backpack or handheld sprayers for precise targeting.
  • Treatments are designed to eliminate weeds without damaging surrounding grass.
  • Non-selective herbicides may be used in severe infestations where turf replacement is necessary.

Follow-Up & Prevention:

  • Multiple applications may be needed for persistent weeds like nutsedge.
  • Recommendations for proper mowing, irrigation, and fertilization help prevent future outbreaks.
