Dallisgrass is one of the most common w**ds I get questions about, and unfortunately, it's also one of the toughest to control.
Dallisgrass is a clump-forming grassy w**d that grows aggressively during the summer and often stands out above the surrounding turf. Unlike many w**ds, it has a deep root system and can return year after year, making it difficult to eliminate with a single treatment.
Here's how we handle Dallisgrass in our lawn care program:
✅ Bermuda Lawns
• Minor infestations are typically spot-treated with a non-selective herbicide. This may temporarily damage the surrounding Bermuda, but the grass usually recovers and fills back in over time. This treatment is included in our standard 8-treatment program.
• Larger infestations may require selective herbicide treatments. These often take multiple applications and involve additional product costs, so an extra fee applies.
✅ Zoysia Lawns
Thanks to newer herbicide technology, we can selectively treat Dallisgrass in Zoysia lawns. This service is included in our standard 8-treatment program at no additional charge.
✅ Centipede Lawns
Dallisgrass control options are more limited in Centipede. In some situations, spot treatment with a non-selective herbicide can be done, but each lawn must be evaluated individually to determine the best approach.
Every lawn is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for Dallisgrass. I'm committed to working with each customer to develop a treatment plan that fits their lawn's specific needs.
If you think you have Dallisgrass or have questions about treatment options, please contact me. Thank you for trusting me with your lawn care needs! - Alex
