Why Do I Have So Many Weeds in My Lawn?

Quick Answer

Weeds take over when your lawn is thin, underfed, or not properly maintained—giving them space to grow.

Why It Happens

• Thin or patchy grass

• Lack of pre-emergent (crabgrass prevention)

• Poor mowing habits

• Weak root system

  
  

What Homeowners Should Do

• Apply pre-emergent in early spring

• Mow at the proper height (don’t scalp)

• Fertilize regularly to thicken turf

• Overseed thin areas
