Weed Control Services in Oakland, Germantown, & Collierville, TN

Keeping your lawn lush and green in Oakland, TN, and surrounding areas like Fayette County, Tipton County, and DeSoto County, MS, requires more than just regular mowing and watering. Unwanted weeds steal nutrients, choke out healthy grass, and ruin your lawn’s appearance. At Mid-South Turf Professionals, we specialize in proven, year-round weed control solutions to keep your lawn pristine, thick, and thriving.

Why Is Weed Control So Important?

Weeds don’t just make your lawn look messy; they compete with your grass for sunlight, water, and nutrients. Without proper control, weeds like crabgrass, clover, and dandelions can quickly overtake your yard. A successful weed control program doesn’t just eliminate weeds—it strengthens your grass, making it more resistant to future invasions.

Weeds Common in Tennessee Lawns:

Broadleaf Weeds – Dandelions, white clover, chickweed.
Grassy Weeds – Crabgrass, goosegrass, annual bluegrass.
Sedges – Yellow nutsedge, purple nutsedge.

Each type of weed requires a targeted treatment approach to be effectively eliminated.

*Please understand that depending on how your lawn looks and it's current condition it could take multiple treatments to get your weeds under control. A perfect lawn is not achieved overnight, it can takes weeks, sometimes months to get the desired results.  Regardless of the state of your lawn, we'll be able to put a comprehensive plan together to tackle your weed problem.

Our Proven Weed Control Program

At Mid-South Turf Professionals, we take a proactive and targeted approach to weed control, combining pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides to eliminate weeds at every stage of their growth cycle.

Our program is designed to not only remove weeds but also promote a healthier, thicker lawn that naturally resists future weed invasions.

Step 1: Pre-Emergent Weed Control (Prevents Weeds from Growing)

Pre-emergent herbicides act as a barrier, stopping weed seeds from germinating before they even take root. These treatments are essential for preventing aggressive weeds like crabgrass and annual bluegrass, which can quickly overtake your lawn if left unchecked.

      • Applied twice in the spring and once in the fall
      • Creates a protective layer in the soil that prevents weed seed development
      • Works best when combined with proper fertilization and thick, healthy turf

Step 2: Post-Emergent Weed Control (Kills Existing Weeds)

Post-emergent herbicides target weeds that have already sprouted and started competing with your grass for nutrients and water. These treatments are applied strategically throughout the growing season for maximum effectiveness.

      • Targets broadleaf weeds (dandelions, clover, plantain) and grassy weeds (crabgrass, goosegrass)
      • Requires multiple applications for full eradication
      • Works best when combined with a comprehensive lawn care program

Our 7-Step Weed Control & Fertilization Program

To ensure long-term success, our seven-step program is structured to give your lawn consistent, seasonal treatments that prevent weeds while strengthening your turf.

#1.  Split Application Spring Pre-Emerge (Early Spring) – Two treatments applied in early spring to stop weed seeds from germinating before they can take root. Essential for crabgrass and annual weed prevention.

#2.  Spring Fertilization with Post-Emerge (Late Spring) – Strengthens grass with essential nutrients while targeting early broadleaf and grassy weeds that may have begun to sprout.

#3.  Early Summer Fertilizer with Post-Emerge – Feeds your lawn to maintain healthy, thick turf while eliminating newly emerged weeds.

#4.  Mid-Summer Fertilizer with Post-Emerge – Helps your lawn withstand heat stress, promotes deep root growth, and eliminates stubborn weeds that thrive in summer conditions.

#5.  Late Summer Fertilizer with Post-Emerge – Strengthens the lawn as temperatures begin to cool and prepares it for fall growth, while controlling persistent weeds.

#6.  Fall Pre-Emerge with Post-Emerge – Prevents winter weeds such as annual bluegrass and chickweed, ensuring your lawn stays healthy going into dormancy.

#7.  Lime Application with Post-Emerge – Balances soil pH, improving nutrient uptake and creating better growing conditions for stronger, thicker grass.

Our 7-treatment program comes with a Weed-Free Guarantee, ensuring thicker, greener grass that stands up to weed competition year-round.

Questions About Our Weed Control Service?

At Mid-South Turf Professionals, we understand that maintaining a vibrant, healthy lawn can raise many questions. To assist you, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions addressing common concerns and providing expert insights into effective lawn care practices. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge needed to achieve and maintain a beautiful lawn year-round.

Weed control is a process, and results depend on the type of weeds, your lawn’s condition, and the time of year. Most homeowners see improvement within 7 to 14 days after a treatment, but complete weed eradication can take multiple applications.

No, effective weed control requires a season-long approach. Some weeds require multiple applications, and pre-emergent treatments are necessary to prevent new weeds from growing. Our 7-step program ensures your lawn stays weed-free throughout the year.

Yes! Our pre-emergent weed control treatments stop weed seeds from sprouting. This is crucial for crabgrass, annual bluegrass, and other aggressive weeds. Combined with post-emergent treatments, this prevents weeds at all stages of their life cycle.

Yes, but we recommend keeping children and pets off the lawn for at least 24 hours after application. Once the treatment has dried, it is completely safe.

No, our selective herbicides target weeds while leaving your grass healthy and unharmed. In fact, proper weed control helps your lawn thrive by reducing competition for nutrients and water.

Some weeds, especially deep-rooted broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover, may take multiple applications to fully eradicate. Also, new weeds may emerge from seeds already present in the soil. This is why a consistent treatment program is necessary.

The most common lawn weeds in Oakland, Germantown, Collierville, and surrounding areas include:

  • Crabgrass
  • Dandelions
  • Clover
  • Goosegrass
  • Yellow nutsedge
  • Chickweed

It’s best to avoid mowing 24-48 hours before and after a weed control application. This allows the treatment to fully absorb into the weeds and ensures the best results.

A thick, healthy lawn is your best defense against weeds. Proper fertilization, aeration, and regular mowing help create a dense turf that crowds out weeds. Our 7-step weed control and fertilization program is designed to do just that!
