Creeping Buttercup & Invasive Lawn Weed Eradication in Sidney, BC

Creeping buttercup and other invasive lawn weeds thrive in the cool, damp conditions of the Saanich Peninsula, quickly turning healthy turf into a patchy, weedy mess. At Ascent Yard Care, we specialize in comprehensive weed eradication — not just cosmetic removal, but deep, long-term control that gets to the root of the problem.

If your lawn feels spongy, overrun with yellow flowers, or increasingly difficult to maintain, we’ll restore it with the right tools, techniques, and materials.

Why Creeping Buttercup Is So Invasive

• 🌱 Spreads via both seed and creeping runners (stolons)
• ☁️ Thrives in compacted, wet, or poorly drained lawns
• 🟡 Dominates with bright yellow flowers and thick foliage
• 🪨 Outcompetes grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight
• ❌ Resistant to most over-the-counter weed treatments

Other common invasive lawn weeds we remove include:

• Dandelion
• White clover
• Plantain
• Oxeye daisy
• St. John’s wort
• Moss and thatch buildup in shaded areas

Our Lawn Weed Eradication Approach

✅ Assessment & Lawn Health Diagnosis

We determine the cause of infestation — poor drainage, soil compaction, overwatering, or improper mowing — to stop weeds at the source.

✅ Physical Removal & Soil Disturbance

We extract buttercup runners and root systems, de-thatch the lawn, and aerate to create space for grass to recover.

✅ Licensed Herbicide (Optional)

We are licensed to apply selective herbicides that kill invasive weeds like creeping buttercup while preserving desirable grasses. Applied only when needed and in full compliance with BC laws.

✅ Top Dressing & Over-Seeding

After clearing weeds, we apply premium soil and high-quality grass seed blends to rebuild thick, weed-resistant turf.

✅ Lawn Rebalancing

We restore pH levels, drainage, and mowing height practices to reduce the conditions buttercup and weeds love.

Ideal for Lawns That Are:

• Overrun with yellow-flowered weeds
• Constantly soggy or slow to drain
• Thin, patchy, or compacted
• Losing the battle to clover, moss, or invasive groundcover
