Weed Identification - Identify 21 Common Weeds in Lawn

Weed identification is an important step toward weed control. I teach you to identify 21 common weeds in the lawn including crabgrass, dallisgrass, oxalis, poison ivy, virginia creeper, and many more. Hopefully, this will help you control weeds in your lawn or for your customers.

That is also where you can find other great resources for the lawn business such as mentoring program, letters package, recommended products, logos, etc.

I was looking for advice on how to grow grass around my house and after watching this and other videos, what I have learned is that planting, watering and maintaining a grass lawn is just a rediculous waste of time and money. I understand the usefulness of grass in golf courses, sports fields and commercial spaces, but not for homes.
Instead of a grassy lawn, I decided to overseed my existing grass with micro clover and then harvest every possible weed I could find and plant them around the house. Now, I have a beautiful, colorful lawn full of different weeds and life that requires very little maintenance: No chemicals, no fertilizers, no watering, no landscaping fees.
Many of these weeds, like clover, are micro plants that get their nitrogen/fertilizer from the air, soil and rain.
Thank you very much sir for teaching me how to identify the weeds that I needed to fire the landscaping guys out of my yard and welcoming the weeds that want to grow in my existing soil.
Now I get to seat in my backyard and appreciate a lawn full of beautiful weed that want to live there with no maintenance instead of the stupid grass that just wants to die without all the money, chemicals, fertilizers, extra work and water.
Thank you, again.

You’re good sir I’ve got 23 years in the industry and have never met anyone as knowledgeable as you .

[wendywarrior]

So basically what I've learned here...is that I don't have a BIT of damned grass in my yard anymore.

[TheBigfootchef]

Nice, I just notice that I have 25 out of these 23 weeds on my yard🤠

[daisy]

I have to echo another person's comment, Your ability to ID these plants by sight is Amazing! The best I've seen on YouTube.

[markhamill]

I know you are trying to help home owners too. But you are really all some. 53 years old been doing this for over 25 years and I learn more from you than classes that I take. Come to Greenville and you could make some videos of the college and hospital

EAT YOUR WEEDS!! 😉Violets, clover and yellow wood sorrel are edible and nice in salads. Both leaves and flowers in all 3 are edible. Wood sorrel tastes like lemon. I love foraging!😍💗

[fjeepers]

You’ve described my lawn perfectly. My grass is, essentially, just weeds.

[katbot]

Cimarron gets Bahia really well. I am planning on spaying mine tomorrow. I use about a teaspoon in a gallon of water.

I have gone through your weed identification video probably four times lol. It is a great video. However I still don't know what a particular weed is. It's growing up in my lantana. Super tall. Is there an app🎉 or a website I could send a picture of thiis to in order to get it identified?

[guesshi]

I must say, it's very helpful. I saw my round-leaf Red Midrib clover and Purple Nutsedge....not good news.

WE HAVE GOOSEY GRASS IN COLORADO TKS FOR VIDEO !!

[MightyGreedo]

This was a really helpful video for me. Thanks! It must have taken you forever to catalog all those different weeds. Nice work!

[marymorris]

Never saw the weed I have! Dug up 15 in my garden yesterday.

[jent]

Very helpful, I bought a house with a huge backyard and lots of plants, flowers and bushes and I have no idea what is what now that 3 months have gone by. Looks like a jungle now !

[louf]

This is a much more useful weed identification method than others. 👍

[SJ-gdbo]

I've spent alot of time and money in my lawn trying to get rid of about half of what you showed in the video.

[petesheppard]

Being able to name weeds also impresses the client! I'm an applicator in Birmingham AL, so this is a good review.
The problem is, though, that each year seems to bring a new headache! Right now, in mid-June, my main pain is doveweed, a summer annual that is starting to germinate and will crowd out the lawn turf if not controlled. I'm going after it with Celsius XTRA and pendimethalin to try to prevent further germination.

[tiogabill]

Very helpful thanks at about 2:56 in this video you are identifying one you call Broom Sedge. right next to this is a tiny weed on the lower left portion of the screen. I have a lot of this in my yard and have thought it is henbit or purple dead nettle. but I can't find any pictures that look exactly like it. Do you know what it is? TIA
