Our Proven Weed Control Programs
Enhanced TurfSmith Program
By far our most popular, our enhanced program provides you with all the nutrients and feeding of the standard program, with several extras that help take your lawn further.
The key differences include additional weed prevention and control (including our weed control guarantee), along with a grub preventer with surface feeding insect control applied in the summer.
This early application allows us to get a head start on preventative weed control. A split application approach will extend the crabgrass control longer into summer.
This application is focused on knocking out your spring broadleaf weeds including dandelions and clover, along with many other broadleaf weeds that attack your lawn in summer. The timing of this round allows us to tackle a larger variety of weeds, rather than just the early bloomers like dandelions.
This application extends the crabgrass control effort much further into summer when crabgrass can get difficult under certain weather conditions. Its feeding also helps your lawn prepare for the summer heat.
This multi-benefit application does several things for your lawn. If helps prevent turf damaging grubs and other root feeding larvae, it fights off surface feeding insects that attack your lawn (it helps with fleas and ticks too), along with providing a summer feeding that helps your lawn endure the summer months.
A balanced fertilizer and spot weed control application is key to helping your lawn bounce back from summer stress. Lawns do their most development and improvement in fall. This round helps get that going.
Although the spring weed control gets all the attention, the fall application is actually the star of the show. Summer brings weed seeds that begin to sprout as the weather cools. Knocking them out now is the real secret to a clean lawn in the spring.
The most important application of the year. Lawn roots grow and develop late into the fall. Feeding now both helps with that continued root growth and ensures your lawn has the nutrients in needs to weather the winter and start strong in the spring.
Standard TurfSmith Program
Also known as our “Clean and Green” program, our standard program gives your lawn the essential “feeding” and weed control it needs.
We use the same high quality products we use in Enhanced, just with a different frequency and focus. If you want a healthy, strong lawn but don’t need the extras like grub control or additional pre-emergent treatments then this program can be for you.
This first application gives your lawn a shot of nutrients as the season starts, along with a crabgrass preventer to help control crabgrass and other summer weeds. It also includes a “post emergent” crabgrass control to help catch any seedlings that might have got a head start on summer.

Questions About Our Weed Control Service?
At GroundSmith, 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 weed control 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, dandelions, 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 Central Ohio 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!
