How can one control weeds and prevent them from sprouting up?
Even the best kept lawn will be susceptible to weeds. Weed seeds can be blown in by the wind, dropped by birds or animals or brought in on the soles of shoes. The best thing you can do is keep your lawn as healthy as possible to encourage a thick grass plant and give the weeds less chance of coming through in the first place. Mowing the lawn to the correct height will also help, as the grass blades shade the soil from the warmth of the sun and prevent the seeds from germinating.
