NUTSEDGE CONTROL

Nutsedge is notorious for wreaking havoc on lawns here in New Jersey. Because nutsedge is so hardy and reproduces so rapidly in this area, it is important to get nutsedge under control as soon as possible. In order to control nutsedge we use a two step control process. The first step is applied between April and July and is a full lawn application to create a barrier of protection covering your entire lawn. Then our second application is applied from July till the end of September to treat any breakthrough nutsedge. 

Early detection and treatment of nutsedge will significantly improve the odds of controlling this invasive sedge grass. If you spot nutsedge in your lawn it is important not to pull it out of the lawn. When you pull nutsedge from the soil, it will break off the root system and cause the sedge to spread faster. Nutsedge must be treated with a herbicide specifically designed to control nutsedge.

Controlling nutsedge is critical to the overall health of your lawn as nutsedge will compete for nutrients, oxygen and water with your turf.
