Several things can cause weeds to take over your lawn. A neglected lawn can turn weak and thin without regular care, giving weeds a chance to take over. It's easy for weeds to spread through airborne seeds, animals, or even contaminated soil. It's hard to get rid of them once they're established.
When your grass is weak or thin, weeds can easily establish themselves. If the grass isn't fed, watered, or mowed properly, this can happen. When soil is compacted, grassroots struggle to grow, allowing weeds to grow. A compacted soil also keeps water, air, and nutrients from getting to the grass roots.
Pull up weeds manually. Perennial weeds like dandelions can be dug out or lifted using a clever weed tool. These are designed to make weeding as low-effort as possible by spiking around the weed and ripping up the entire plant and roots in one go. However, digging up weeds can leave bare patches in your lawn.
Make sure you lay turf or reseed as soon as you get rid of the weeds. Otherwise, bare patches in your lawn will provide a space for more weeds to pop up if left unattended.
