An organic weed removal program should always include the necessary soil amendments and prompt over-seeding with a suitable grass seed for your specific lawn type. Our Mississauga lawn care services are specifically designed to assist you with weed infestations. Kick Gas offers organic and emission free services.

Often confused with crabgrass, this is a very difficult weed to control, if left unchecked for too long. Quackgrass is hearty and can soak up valuable nutrients from your soil, affecting the health of desirable grass species. It can carry leaf rust, attract armyworms and cereal leaf beetle. Mississauga lawn care companies should provide inspections while cutting your grass. Early detection is the key controlling this potential problem.

For me, the issue of white clover being a weed is very controversial. White clover used to be a standard in all seed mixes before broad leaf herbicides were produced. It fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere, is drought resistant and stays green until the snow hits. What more can you ask for? The only downfall of white clover, in lawns, is the height and the amount of flowers produced. Kick Gas Lawn Care seeds micro clover lawns. Micro clover produces very few flowers and grows to approximately 4 inches.
Appearance:
Low growing with dark green leaves of three with white and pink flowers.
Reproduces by:
Seeds and stolons.
Soil Indications:
Low nitrogen, pH
Removal:
Pull by hand; add nitrogen or compost and lime.
