Buttercup Control for Lawns in West Point Grey – Ascent Yard Care

Creeping buttercup might look harmless, even pretty—but in West Point Grey lawns, it’s a persistent invader that chokes out grass, spreads fast, and ruins the look and feel of your yard. At Ascent Yard Care, we specialize in licensed, effective buttercup treatment for lawns—restoring healthy turf and keeping weeds from coming back.

What Makes Buttercup Such a Problem?

Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) is common in Vancouver’s damp, compacted soils. It spreads via creeping stems and deep roots, thriving in lawns that are:

• Compacted
• Poorly draining
• Slightly acidic
• Thin or stressed

Buttercup doesn’t respond well to mowing or hand-pulling. If left untreated, it forms thick mats that crowd out grass and invite other weeds.

What Buttercup Looks Like in Lawns

• Bright yellow flowers (usually spring through early summer)
• Glossy, clover-like leaves
• Spreading low to the ground, often in soggy or shaded areas
• Bare, thin patches of lawn where grass is losing ground

It’s especially common in West Point Grey lawns that have mature trees, clay soil, or a history of patchy lawn care.

Our Professional Buttercup Treatment Program

At Ascent Yard Care, we don’t just spray and hope for the best—we use a multi-step, licensed approach that eliminates buttercup and strengthens the lawn to resist future invasions.

Our lawn buttercup control service includes:

• Licensed herbicide application – selective treatment that targets buttercup without harming grass (we are certified applicators in BC)
• Aeration – to relieve soil compaction and improve drainage
• Soil amendment or lime application – to balance pH and create conditions that favor grass, not weeds
• Overseeding or lawn thickening – to fill in bare patches and prevent buttercup from returning
• Optional compost or topdressing for long-term soil health

This is not a one-size-fits-all service. We customize the treatment to your lawn’s condition, soil profile, and history.

Why Licensing Matters

Buttercup is resistant to most over-the-counter lawn treatments. Controlling it effectively requires:

• Selective, high-grade herbicides
• Correct application timing and weather conditions
• Professional equipment and training

Ascent Yard Care is fully licensed to apply herbicides in BC, ensuring your lawn is treated legally, safely, and effectively.
