We Can Help You Eradicate Paspalum, For Good!
Paspalum grows in uneven and clumpy bunches with broad leaves and tough stems, ruining your lawn’s colour and texture.
Hand-pulling is not effective on paspalum in the long term. It also results in bare spots that need additional attention.
Paspalum spreads both underground and on the surface, meaning it can take over your lawn and force out your good grass if left unchecked.
Its tough stems and flat growth habit often mean your lawn looks messy and unkempt, even right after you’ve mowed it.
The dense root structure means that it can be difficult to remove, and it spreads easily to other areas.
If you ignore the problem or put off looking for a solution, the damage will spread throughout your lawn.. Paspalum control should start immediately.
Thin or bull paspalum grasses are commonly found in residential lawns throughout the northeastern United States. They are often confused with crabgrass because of some similar characteristics. You can distinguish Paspalum grasses from crabgrass by the large amount of hair on Paspalum leaves.

Paspalum spreads by its roots, above-ground stolons, and below-ground rhizomes, which makes it especially aggressive and difficult to control. This makes an expert analysis and identification crucial when developing a plan to control paspalum.
Trying to kill your paspalum with an over-the-counter product from your local hardware store will probably not give you the results you’re looking for.
This is why we recommend calling a paspalum control expert for reliable results that will last season after season.
Small infestations of paspalum may be controlled by pulling individual plants by hand and repairing these areas with desirable grass seed varieties or sod. However, if the infestation is on the larger side, this will be quite labour-intensive. It’s also not effective in the long run, due to the many ways paspalum spreads across your lawn, even when you can no longer see it on the surface.
