Can You Use Weed Killer for Bermuda Grass Without Killing Your Lawn?

weed killer for bermuda grassAre you in search of a weed killer for Bermuda grass that won’t also kill your fescue? The good news is that this is possible to accomplish. The not so good news is that this is not a simple task. Keeping your turf healthy, while getting rid of invasive Bermuda grass is complicated, but possible. It’s easier to do with a lawn care professional working with you on the project. Keep reading to learn how Kemko’s lawn care experts use weed killer for Bermuda grass while saving the tall fescue turf.

The Problem with Herbicides

The trouble with killing invasive Bermuda grass is that it’s just that: a type of grass. Therefore, weed killers don’t tend to work on Bermuda grass without killing the rest of the lawn too. That being said, there are products called systemic herbicides that can hone in on the Bermuda grass plants in your lawn. These products almost always require multiple applications before you see results.

For these reasons, it’s so important to leave applications of weed killer for Bermuda grass to the experts. Trained landscapers will use these products to exact manufacturer specifications. It’s the only way to be sure you will have fescue grass left after the Bermuda grass is eradicated.

The Long-Term Solution for Controlling Bermuda Grass

Optimal growing conditions for Bermuda and fescue grasses are quite different. So the long-term solution boils down to this: make the fescue happy, and you will drive out the Bermuda grass. As the fescue shoots become healthier and thicker, they will choke out the Bermuda grass from vital resources like light and water.

How to Keep Your Lawn Healthy

A thick, healthy lawn is the cure for many lawn problems, including weeds of all kinds. Proper trimming, watering, and fertilizing are the first steps in making sure your lawn is in tip top shape. Seasonal aeration and dethatching will assist with the transfer of water and nutrients to the grass roots. When your turf gets the resources it needs, it can kill many weeds all on its own.
