Common Weeds Found in Lawns

Clover
Clover is a common problem in lawns and usually comes up during winter and early spring. Kikuyu and couch are a higher risk to clover due to their less like to moisture and damp conditions. Clover can be easily treated in most Lawns with any Broad leaf Weeder and Feeder. Ensure you follow the instructions before applying to Buffalo Lawns as some treatments are not suitable to Buffalo lawns and may cause damage.    

Nut Grass
Nut grass is extremely difficult to control. It thrives on waterlogged soil and their presence often indicate that drainage is poor, irrigation is to frequent or sprinklers are leaky. Once established they will tolerate normal irrigation and drought conditions. Nutgrass produces tubers on the underground stems that grow 8 -14 inches below the soil, to kill nut grass best is by removing the roots and bulbs completely to ensure no further growth. You may spray with Glyphosate based herbicide ensuring only the weed is treated and not the surrounding Lawn. It may require a second treatment. 

Paspalum
Paspalum is a course leaf grass with a deep fibrous root system. It is a summer
perennial weed and can be treated with Paskill.  Paspalum is common in sandy soils
in disturbed, open areas throughout the Coastal plain region. Dallisgrass, field
paspalum, and thin paspalum resemble each other, and thin paspalum is often
mistakenly called Dallisgrass. Thin paspalum has a glossier, shinier leaf when young
than Dallisgrass. Dallisgrass leaf appearance is very similar to crabgrass, which is a
dull green appearance.
