Professional Paspalum Control Services for a Healthy and Green Lawn

Unattractive Turf

Paspalum grows in uneven and clumpy bunches with broad leaves and tough stems, ruining your lawn’s color and texture.

Professional Intervention

Hand-pulling is not effective on paspalum in the long term. It also results in bare spots that need additional attention.

Aggressive

Paspalum spreads both underground and on the surface, meaning it can take over your lawn and force out your good grass if left unchecked.

Hard to Mow

Its tough stems and flat growth habit often mean your lawn looks messy and unkempt, even right after you’ve mowed it.

Hard to Control

The dense root structure means that it can be difficult to remove, and it spreads easily to other areas.

Won’t Go Away

If you ignore the problem or put off looking for a solution, the damage will spread throughout your lawn.. Paspalum control should start immediately.

What is Paspalum?

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.

Because of its ability to grow in wet soil and tolerate flooding, paspalum is commonly used for:

  • Turfgrass
  • Forage for livestock
  • Erosion control

However, for most homeowners throughout the southeastern United States, it’s an invasive nuisance.

How Do I Kill Paspalum Growing in My Lawn?

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.

How Do I Get Rid Of Paspalum?

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 labor-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.

Professional paspalum control may be necessary to maintain your weed-free lawn. Your trained and certified technician will identify the paspalum (and other conditions) to tailor your treatment plan and help your lawn thrive.

As always, your best line of defense against paspalum and other weeds is a lush, healthy lawn. Stay on top of your beneficial cultural practices, including:

  • Aeration: Improving soil drainage and helping reduce the likelihood of lawn diseases.
  • Fertilization: Helping to provide your lawn with adequate nutrients.
  • Watering: Making sure it's done the right way and at the right frequency.
  • Mowing: Maintaining a regular mowing schedule with a razor-sharp blade.

Paspalum Control should start as soon as you notice it on your lawn. If you’ve spotted it, don’t hesitate, find a Weed Man in your area right now.

Weed Man Billings, MT

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.
