Effective Weed Control Solutions for Greater New Orleans and Northshore Homes

The fight against weeds can feel overwhelming. It seems the more chemicals you put on your lawn, the worse things get. The weeds continue to thrive while everything else around them suffers. That's partly because common yard weeds aren't just unsightly---they also steal vital nutrients from your turfgrass, trees, shrubs, and ornamental plants. The other problem is that store-bought weed killers and one-size-fits-all spray companies don't tailor treatments to the unique needs of your yard. You need targeted solutions that give your lawn precisely what it needs to win the war against weeds.

That's where Lobb-Alexis comes in with over 40 years of experience combatting South Louisiana's peskiest unwanted plants. Our lawn care packages include pre- and post-emergent weed control solutions to target root systems and restore balance to your lawn. Contact our team today for a free in-depth evaluation of your lawn and let our experts create a customized treatment plan.

Common Weeds We Treat in South Louisiana

South Louisiana's long warm season and humid climate make the perfect growing conditions for many plants. Unfortunately, that includes weeds!

Our team can custom-mix applications to treat these types of weeds and more:

  • Dollarweed: This low-growing perennial weed spreads quickly by runners and forms dense mats that crowd out turfgrass. It has round, coin-shaped leaves and small white flowers.
  • Chickweed: This cool-season annual weed has small, hairy leaves and white flowers. Because it seeds profusely and generates mats, it can be especially stubborn against DIY methods.
  • Crabgrass: This grassy weed is one of the most common in the U.S. It comes in two varieties in our area, smooth and large crabgrass.
  • Goosegrass: This warm-season annual grass has wide blades and forms large, loose clumps that can quickly take over a lawn. It thrives in moist, compacted soil.
  • Yellow Nutsedge: This perennial weed has yellow-green, grass-like leaves that grow in clumps. It reproduces by both seed and tubers, which makes it difficult to control without professional intervention.
  • Torpedo Grass: One of the biggest scourges of South Louisiana lawns, this weed is a stubborn native that is often better suppressed than killed. Lobb-Alexis is the only company in the area that offers torpedo grass suppression!

How Our Professional Lawn Care Company Kills Weeds

Our 360 approach stops weeds at their source.

The key to a healthy lawn or commercial turf is two-pronged. It's not enough to kill weeds - you have to prevent them, too. At Lobb-Alexis, we've partnered with environmental and chemical engineers to develop the best treatments for our local area's problem plants. We start with a pre-emergent application that neutralizes weeds at the roots. Then, for any plants that make it through this initial barrier, we apply post-emergent formulas to the treatment area. The result is a healthy, vibrant lawn that doesn't have to compete for resources, leaving you to enjoy your reign as the envy of your neighborhood.

Don't let weeds steal the show.

Questions About Lawn Weed Control? We've Got Answers.

At Lobb-Alexis, we're always ready to answer your questions, provide in-depth education about our products and services, and prioritize customer service. If you have a question about weed control that isn't answered below, call (504) 471-0044 to ask us directly!

How do you get rid of weeds in lawns?

The key to ridding your yard of weeds is identifying the exact species taking hold there. Proper identification allows you to tailor treatments to target unwanted weeds and preserve the lawn beneath. At Lobb-Alexis, our horticultural experts will formulate a customized plan to rid your yard of weeds, using both preventative and post-emergent methods.

When is the best time to apply weed control?

Spring is typically the best time to apply pre-emergent herbicides, which prevent weeds from germinating in the first place. Once temperatures start to cool down in the fall, you can target existing weeds with post-emergent herbicides. Fall may also be a good time to apply another round of pre-emergent herbicide to prevent winter weeds. At Lobb-Alexis, we'll set up an ideal schedule for weed control, fertilizer, and more.

Does mulch help with weed control?

Mulch can be an effective tool for weed control in ornamental beds, as it can block sunlight from weed roots and smother young, already-established weeds. However, if you already have weeds in your garden bed, the mulch may simply create a favorable environment for them to thrive underneath. If your lawn or garden has weeds, call Lobb-Alexis for an effective solution.
