Dandelions are one of the most common (and frustrating) issues that can plague your North Texas lawn. That’s why so many homeowners rely on professional weed control and prevention to combat them and stop them from spreading. When they aren’t handled properly, dandelions can overtake healthy grass fast. If your lawn is full of dandelions, you can count on the team at Green Top Lawn Care to stop them dead in their tracks.
Proven Strategies to Control and Prevent Dandelions
Controlling dandelions requires more than simply pulling them out when they pop up in your lawn. Implementing an effective weed control plan will not only address visible growth, it will target the root system beneath the soil and stop weeds from spreading. When handled properly dandelions are less likely to return, and healthy grass has a chance to thrive.
Dandelions are hard to kill because they grow from a taproot that is buried 2–3 feet deep in the soil. This makes it virtually impossible to pull them out by hand. Many homeowners have spent hours performing this backbreaking labor to discover that it provides only a temporary solution. Because they cannot get to the taproot, they cannot eradicate the problem.
At Green Top Lawn Care, our years of experience have given us the knowledge required to get to the source of dandelions, getting rid of them for good. Once we have the immediate problem under control, we can work on preventative lawn care measures to ensure that dandelions don’t become an ongoing problem.
The best way to keep dandelions from returning is to ensure your turfgrass is dense and thriving. The thicker and healthier your lawn is, the less room dandelions have to take root. The real challenge in preventing the return of dandelions is that the seeds are blown on the wind from other people’s lawns. So if your neighbors are fighting dandelions, you’re more likely to be doing the same thing. However, if your lawn is thick and healthy, it will be much harder for those seeds to take root.

A lawn overtaken by dandelions detracts from your home’s curb appeal and negatively impacts the overall health of your turf. By investing in professional dandelion treatment, you can successfully eliminate these invasive, fast-spreading weeds.
