Eliminating weeds and planting grass seed will provide a business owner with a commercial piece of property that looks well-maintained. Since weeds grow rapidly, an individual may notice that they need to use a lawnmower to cut their lawn every few days to temporarily get rid of the weeds that are growing. Instead, the following steps for lawn care in Waukesha, WI can be completed to eliminate weeds entirely.

Treat Weeds
Weed killing products are not all formulated in the same manner. Some weed killing products contain chemicals that will kill healthy blades of grass if a product is accidentally applied to grass that surrounds weeds. An herbicide that does not contain harsh ingredients is designed to kill a wide range of weeds, but will not harm grass blades.
The nozzle on an herbicide bottle should be aimed directly at the top of each weed. Weeds should be sprayed with a light coating of the liquid. After weeds have wilted, they can be removed by hand and disposed of.
Sprinkle Grass Seed And Water The Lawn
If weeds were previously covering a large part of the property, grass seed should be planted so that grass will cover the bare sections. Before planting grass seed, a hoe or a rake can be used to create shallow furrows throughout the dirt. A seed spreader is a tool that can be used to spread grass seed evenly across the property.
After dispensing the grass seed, a sprinkler system should be installed on the property so that the soil remains moist. To determine how much water should be applied to the ground, a business owner should read the instructions that are listed on the grass seed package.
If a business is closed at night or during the weekend, a sprinkler system that has a timer feature will ensure that water is dispersed at specific times of the day or night and that a lawn isn’t over or under watered.
