At The Green Team, we know how quickly chickweed can take over a lawn if it is left untreated. This fast-spreading weed thrives in cool, moist conditions and often appears in early spring or fall, when turfgrass growth slows.
Once established, chickweed spreads outward in dense mats, crowding out healthy grass and stealing moisture and nutrients your lawn needs to stay strong. Our professional weed control services are designed to stop the spread early and restore your lawn’s health and appearance.

The Problem with Chickweed
Chickweed may look harmless at first, but it spreads aggressively and quickly becomes a serious problem. This weed grows in dense, low mats that smother grass by blocking sunlight and competing for water and nutrients.
Because chickweed thrives in cool temperatures, it often establishes itself before turfgrass fully wakes up for the season, giving it a head start that makes it difficult to control without professional intervention.
Left untreated, chickweed weakens your lawn and creates bare or thinning areas that invite even more weeds to move in. Over time, this cycle can leave your yard patchy and unhealthy, requiring more extensive restoration efforts. Early detection and proper treatment are essential to prevent long-term lawn damage.
Seasonal Chickweed Treatments
Our seasonal chickweed treatments are designed to address the weed at every stage of its life cycle. We use a combination of pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control to prevent new chickweed from sprouting and to eliminate existing growth. Timing is critical, especially in early spring and fall when chickweed is most active.
To support lasting results, we often pair weed control with lawn aeration and seeding recommendations. Aeration improves soil structure and allows nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach grass roots more effectively. Overseeding helps fill in thin areas with healthy turf, reducing space for chickweed to return. This integrated approach creates stronger lawns that are better equipped to resist weeds throughout the season.

Chickweed Control FAQs
When does chickweed usually appear?
Chickweed typically appears during cooler seasons, most commonly in early spring and fall. It thrives when temperatures are mild and moisture levels are high, which is why early treatment is so important.
Can I prevent chickweed naturally?
Healthy turf is the best natural defense against chickweed. Proper mowing, watering, and soil health can help, but natural methods alone are often insufficient to control chickweed once it becomes established. Professional pre-emergent treatments provide more reliable prevention.
Will mowing help remove chickweed?
Mowing alone will not eliminate chickweed. Because it grows low to the ground, it often survives mowing and continues to spread. Targeted weed control treatments are necessary to remove chickweed and fully protect your lawn.
