Kill Weeds In My Lawn
Kill Weeds in My Lawn
Weeds can be a frustrating problem for UK lawn owners, as they can quickly take over and damage the appearance and health of the lawn. Finding the right weedkiller can also be a problem. Some of the most common types of weeds found in UK lawns include:
- Dandelions: These bright yellow flowers are a common sight in lawns and gardens. They have deep taproots that can make them difficult to remove, and they can quickly spread if not controlled.
- Plantain: This weed has broad, oval-shaped leaves and a rosette of small flowers. It is common in lawns and gardens and can be a problem in heavily trafficked areas.
- Clover: This weed has three-leaved foliage and small white or pink flowers. It is often found in lawns and can be a problem in areas with poor soil.
- Daisy: This weed has a yellow central disk and white petals. It can quickly spread and can be difficult to remove once established.
These weeds not only make your lawn look unsightly, but they can also compete with the grass for nutrients and water, leading to thinning, brown patches, and even death of the lawn.
Traditionally, the most common method of controlling weeds has been to pull them by hand or use chemical herbicides. However, now only professionally licensed lawn care companies have the license to use the chemicals to kill these weeds, and they have the knowledge and expertise to do so safely and effectively.

Ways to get rid of weeds
There are a variety of ways to get rid of weeds in your lawn:
We always kill all unwanted weeds on your lawn.
We use a selective herbicide to remove them.
All our satisfied customers will have a weed-free lawn.
Use a lawn weedkiller
To tackle occasional lawn weeds, use a weedkiller designed for use on grass such as Resolva Lawn Weedkiller. This is really important as if you use a general-purpose weedkiller, it will kill your grass as well. This ready-to-use spray can be directed straight onto common weeds such as buttercup, daisy, dandelion and clover.
Use lawn feed, weed and moss killer
Large areas of weedy lawns are best treated with a law feed, weed and moss killer, such as Aftercut All in One.
This will boost the lawn while tackling weeds and moss.
Apply the granules, using the Even-Flo spreader and leave to work for 1-2 weeks. When the weeds and moss die and turn brown, rake them out gently and dispose of.
By hand
Remove weeds by grabbing hold of the stem and pulling.
It is very important to remove all the root systems of each weed otherwise new plants will simply grow back from each of the pieces left behind.
