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.
