How to Identify and Control Common Michigan Lawn Weeds
Learn to identify and control the most common lawn weeds in Michigan, including dandelions, crabgrass, and creeping charlie.

Michigan lawns face numerous weed challenges throughout the growing season. Understanding what you're dealing with is the first step to effective control.

Dandelions

These bright yellow flowers are one of the most recognizable lawn weeds. Their deep taproots make them difficult to remove by hand. Professional herbicide applications provide the most effective control.

Crabgrass

Crabgrass is an annual weed that germinates in spring and spreads rapidly during summer. Pre-emergent herbicides applied in early spring prevent germination, while post-emergent treatments control existing plants.

Creeping Charlie

Also known as ground ivy, creeping charlie is a perennial weed that spreads via stolons. It thrives in shady, moist areas and requires selective herbicides for effective control.

White Clover

While some homeowners appreciate clover for its nitrogen-fixing properties, others consider it a weed. It can be controlled with broadleaf herbicides if desired.
