Don’t let the name fool you. So-called “creeping” bentgrass doesn’t just creep up; it chokes the other turf off your lawn. Bentgrass control should start ASAP!
Bentgrass is extremely sensitive to warm temperatures and will be the first to turn brown and dormant under any drought-like conditions. This robs you of the healthy, even shade of green you want!
Creeping bentgrass is a perennial weed that may take a few seasons to fully eliminate. It’s still growing underground, even if you can’t see weeds on the surface. That’s why you need to act immediately.
Creeping Bentgrass is very slow to green up in the spring. It also requires much more fertilizer and water than other grass varieties, making maintenance difficult.
It has a shallow rooting system that does not retain moisture and nutrients very well, making it more susceptible to drought and plant diseases.
By nature, bentgrass creates a thick spongy layer of thatch, which can promote insect and disease infestations.
Bentgrass (or creeping bentgrass) is a fine-bladed grass with a matted appearance that can be found on lawns across North America. It’s a shallow-rooted grass that reproduces by its sprawling, above-ground stems.
When mowed at a very low height (much lower than your typical residential lawn), it can be aesthetically pleasing, which is why it’s typically found on golf course putting greens. Those same qualities that make bentgrass good for golf make it not-so-good for your home.
If you suspect you have bentgrass in your lawn, the first and most important step is proper identification of the weed. As with all lawn conditions, the best treatment plan will vary based on the specific threat and your specific lawn.
You don’t want to simply kill creeping bentgrass. An over-the-counter spray could damage your other grass, leave you with an ugly dead spot that is vulnerable to pests, disease, and other weeds, and the bentgrass could still return next year.
First of all, you should act as soon as you see creeping bentgrass on your lawn. Call a Weed Man lawn expert immediately before it starts to spread.
From there, the best bentgrass control strategies usually involve a combination of:
Your local Weed Man professional will be able to offer other solutions and recommend the best treatment for your lawn.
Bentgrass can “creep” onto your lawn in several different ways. It can be carried to your property by birds who have recently visited golf courses or neighboring yards with bentgrass.
It’s also possible to get it through contaminated seed or sod. This is why overseeding with high-quality grass seed is so important!
Bentgrass doesn’t do well in hot and dry areas, but it will spread very quickly in areas with cooler and moist conditions, or where a lawn is mowed too short.

I've been with Weed Man for 2 years or more and man they have been very helpful. Being a working mom and having 50 million things to do and one of them is not having to worry about my lawn because I know Weed Man will take care of it. I was always trying to find new ingredients to help with the weeds in my lawn and how time consuming it was, now I just wait for Weed Man to put me on their schedule. The price to me is reasonable for the service they provide.

The Weed Man has successfully eradicated an enormous number of weeds in my backyard with their initial treatment. I have found the Weed Man to be exceptionally responsive to any requests that I have made. The service is competent and very friendly. I highly recommend this company! Post Season follow-up: Throughout the season (It is now mid-September), the Weed Man technician, Damien, provided excellent service and was immediately responsive to all of my requests. If there were a couple of instances of a weed or two reappearing, he gladly stopped by to treat it. It has been a pleasure using Weed Man, and I absolutely recommend its services to anyone with a weed issue. I will continue to use Weed Man on an annual basis.
