Lawn Care Services We Offer
Professional Weed Control for Oklahoma City Lawns
Keeping a lawn healthy across the Oklahoma City metro requires more than regular mowing and watering. Between Oklahoma’s clay-heavy soils, intense summer heat, unpredictable rainfall, and urban/suburban conditions that stress turf, aggressive weeds find countless opportunities to establish and spread. Boots Pest and Weed Control offers comprehensive lawn services—from fertilization to overseeding and disease management—but the most common problem Oklahoma City homeowners bring to us is controlling persistent, recurring weeds that won’t go away.
The weeds that dominate OKC metro lawns include stubborn broadleaf varieties, fast-spreading crabgrass in sunny areas, nutsedge that outgrows turf, and shade-tolerant invaders like wild violets. Here’s our strategy for eliminating each type effectively.
Eliminating Crabgrass from Oklahoma City Properties
Crabgrass ranks among the most aggressive and frustrating summer weeds throughout the Oklahoma City metro. This low-growing invader spreads outward in a distinctive star pattern, rapidly colonizing thin turf, bare spots, and hot areas near concrete—sidewalks, driveways, and patios. It thrives in full sun and stressed grass, quickly dominating large sections of lawn within a single growing season.
The key challenge with crabgrass is that it’s an annual that dies with the first hard freeze but leaves behind massive seed quantities. These seeds lie dormant all winter, ready to germinate when spring temperatures rise. That’s why timing and prevention are critical. We apply pre-emergent herbicides in early spring to create a soil barrier that blocks germination before crabgrass sprouts. For plants that break through, we follow up with targeted post-emergent treatments during active summer growth. This dual approach disrupts the crabgrass cycle year after year and gives your lawn the opportunity to thicken naturally.
Controlling Nutsedge Across the Metro
Nutsedge—commonly called “nutgrass”—is a persistent headache for Oklahoma City lawns. It looks like grass from a distance but grows noticeably faster, with bright green, glossy leaves that stick up above your mowed turf within just days. Both yellow and purple nutsedge are widespread throughout the metro, and both are extremely difficult to eliminate.
The real problem lies underground. Nutsedge spreads through small tubers (nutlets) that remain in the soil even after you pull the visible plant. This underground network means hand-pulling is essentially useless—the plant just sends up new shoots from remaining tubers. Standard homeowner weed killers typically fail because they aren’t formulated to target sedges specifically.
We use professional herbicides designed to attack nutsedge’s unique biology without harming your grass. Through repeated applications timed for maximum effectiveness and combined with improved lawn maintenance practices, we gradually weaken the underground tuber system and significantly reduce nutsedge populations. Over time, your lawn regains its uniform appearance and nutsedge pressure drops dramatically.
Managing Broadleaf Weeds in OKC Neighborhoods
Broadleaf weeds are easy to identify—they have wide, flat leaves that clearly stand out from grass blades, and many produce visible flowers or seed heads. Throughout Oklahoma City, the most frequent offenders include dandelions, clover, chickweed, plantain, oxalis, spurge, wild garlic, and wild onion taking
over lawns.
These invaders come in two categories: annuals that complete their life cycle within one growing season, and perennials with deep, established root systems that return every year. Both compete directly with your turf for water, nutrients, and sunlight. When left unchecked, they weaken grass, create thin patches, and invite even more weed growth—resulting in a lawn that deteriorates with each passing season.
We use selective herbicides that eliminate broadleaf plants while leaving your grass unharmed. Application timing is critical—treating during active growth phases ensures the herbicide penetrates deep into the plant’s root system for complete elimination. When combined with a solid fertilization program, this approach strengthens your turf so it naturally crowds out weeds and resists future invasions.
Addressing Wild Violets and Shade-Tolerant Weeds
Wild violets might look harmless or even attractive when flowering, but they’re among the most aggressive weeds in shaded Oklahoma City lawns. They spread through both seeds and underground runners, forming thick colonies that suffocate grass—especially in damp, shaded areas under mature trees or on the north side of structures where turf naturally struggles.
Throughout the metro—particularly in older neighborhoods with established tree cover—wild violets can explode after wet springs. Their waxy leaf surface repels most standard weed killers, and their extensive root systems allow them to bounce back quickly even after treatment. This combination makes them particularly frustrating for homeowners trying to control them with retail products.
Our team applies professional-grade herbicides during optimal treatment windows—typically early spring or fall—when wild violets are most vulnerable. While these weeds require patience and multiple treatments, our targeted approach steadily reduces their spread and helps your grass reclaim those shaded
problem areas.

Frequently Asked Questions – Weed Control in Oklahoma City
Do you provide weed control throughout the Oklahoma City metro?
Yes. Boots serves Oklahoma City and surrounding metro communities. Our service area continues to expand across the region as more homeowners request professional lawn care.
What should I expect to pay for lawn weed treatment?
Cost depends on your lawn’s size, weed severity, and whether you need a one-time cleanout or a full seasonal program. We’ll evaluate your property and provide an honest, upfront quote based on what your lawn actually needs.
How many applications does an Oklahoma City lawn need annually?
Most metro properties benefit from four seasonal treatments—early spring pre-emergent to stop crabgrass, late spring post-emergent for active weeds, summer follow-up, and fall broadleaf treatment. This schedule addresses weeds throughout their complete growth cycle.
What if I'm still seeing weeds after treatment?
Just give us a call. If you’re on our seasonal program and weeds appear between scheduled visits, we’ll return for a complimentary follow-up application at no charge.
Is there a guarantee on your weed control work?
Yes. If you’re not satisfied with your lawn’s progress or appearance, we’ll continue treating until you see improvement. Your satisfaction matters
to us.
Will one treatment solve my weed problem?
Typically not. Different weeds germinate at different times, and some require multiple applications for complete control. A single treatment helps, but a full seasonal program delivers much better long-term results.
Are treatments safe around children and pets?
Yes. We use professional products applied according to all safety guidelines. There’s usually a brief wait time—just a few hours—before it’s safe for everyone to be back on the lawn.
Do I need to be present when you treat my lawn?
No. All applications happen outdoors, so you don’t need to be home. If we need gate access or encounter something unusual, we’ll contact you.
When should I start weed control service?
Spring is ideal for pre-emergent applications that prevent summer weeds before they germinate. But we can start anytime and adjust the strategy based on what’s currently growing in your lawn.
My lawn is severely overrun with weeds—can it be recovered?
Yes. Even heavily infested lawns can be brought back with the right plan. We’ll evaluate your property, identify the problems, and create a step-by-step recovery process.
Which weeds are most common in Oklahoma City?
We regularly treat crabgrass, nutsedge, dandelions, clover, chickweed, wild violets, spurge, oxalis, wild garlic, and wild onion. We’ll identify what’s in your lawn and customize treatments accordingly.
What's the difference between pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments?
Pre-emergent creates a soil barrier that stops weed seeds from sprouting—preventing weeds before they appear. Post-emergent kills weeds that are already growing. Both are essential for complete year-round control.
Can I bundle weed control with pest control?
Absolutely. Many Oklahoma City customers combine both services for complete property protection. We coordinate scheduling and billing to keep everything simple.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major payment methods including credit cards, checks, and electronic payments. Automatic billing is available for recurring programs.
