Selective Herbicide Treatment – Targeted Weed Control for a Healthier Lawn
Weeds compete with grass for light, water, and nutrients, often taking over lawns and spoiling their appearance. Our selective herbicide (weed control) service is designed to eliminate broadleaf weeds while protecting your grass, restoring a clean, even, and healthy lawn.
Selective herbicides work by targeting specific weed species without harming established turf, making them an essential part of professional lawn care.
What a Selective Herbicide Treatment Achieves
Eliminates Broadleaf Weeds
Effectively controls common lawn weeds such as dandelion, clover, daisy, plantain, buttercup, and chickweed, reducing their presence and preventing further spread.
Protects Grass Plants
Unlike non-selective weed killers, selective herbicides are formulated to act on weeds only, leaving grass unharmed when applied correctly.
Restores a Uniform Lawn Appearance
Removing weeds allows grass to fill in gaps, resulting in a neater, more consistent and visually appealing lawn.
Reduces Competition for Nutrients
By removing weeds that compete with grass, more water and nutrients are available to support strong, healthy turf growth.
Supports Long-Term Lawn Health
Regular weed control helps prevent weeds from seeding and spreading, reducing future infestations and making ongoing maintenance easier.
Improves Lawn Density
With weeds controlled, grass can thicken naturally, creating a denser sward that helps suppress new weed growth.
When Selective Weed Control Is Applied
Selective herbicides are most effective when weeds are actively growing, typically from spring through autumn. Treatments will be applied as part of a seasonal lawn care programme.
Safe and Professional Application
All treatments are applied by trained professionals using approved products and methods in line with UK regulations. Lawns can usually be used again once the treatment has dried, with minimal disruption to your routine.
Supporting Lawn Recovery
After weeds die back—usually within a few weeks—the lawn is left healthier and ready for improvement. Overseeding and fertilisation may be recommended to fill in any bare areas and enhance results.
