Lawn Weed Control in Victoria – Licensed Herbicide Treatment That Works

If your lawn is full of weeds—like dandelions, clover, buttercup, or plantain—and mowing isn’t helping, you’re not alone. Many Victoria lawns suffer from persistent, invasive broadleaf weeds that spread fast, crowd out grass, and make the yard look neglected no matter how often it’s cut.

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer professional lawn herbicide treatment services—designed to eliminate weeds at the root, without damaging your lawn or harming nearby plants. We’re fully licensed in British Columbia to apply turf-safe herbicides legally and responsibly—something most landscaping companies can’t do.

Why Lawn Weeds Keep Coming Back

Pulling and mowing only remove the surface of the problem. Meanwhile, the real issue remains underground:

• Deep taproots (like dandelion) regrow after cutting
• Spreading roots and seeds allow weeds like clover and buttercup to multiply
• Victoria’s compacted, wet soils weaken grass, giving weeds the advantage
• Cheap weed products from garden centers often burn grass or don’t last

Without professional herbicide treatment, lawn weeds almost always return—stronger, thicker, and more widespread.

What We Treat

We apply herbicide to eliminate the most common and persistent lawn weeds on the South Island, including:

• Creeping buttercup
• White and red clover
• Broadleaf plantain
• Dandelion
• Wild violet
• Hawkweed
• Chickweed and moss in certain lawns
• Other regional broadleaf weeds

How Our Lawn Herbicide Treatment Works

1. On-Site Lawn Assessment

We evaluate the weeds present, lawn condition, sun exposure, drainage, and recent treatments to determine the right course of action.

2. Targeted Herbicide Application

We apply a selective, turf-safe herbicide that targets broadleaf weeds but leaves your grass unharmed. Depending on conditions, we may apply:

• Spot treatments for scattered patches
• Blanket spraying for widespread infestations
• Repeat treatments for particularly aggressive weeds like buttercup

3. Optional Lawn Support Services

After herbicide treatment, we can help strengthen your lawn to prevent future weed invasions by offering:

• Fertilization
• Aeration and overseeding
• Top dressing with compost or soil blends

Why You Need a Licensed Provider

Most landscapers in Victoria are not legally permitted to apply herbicides.

Ascent Yard Care is one of the few fully licensed providers in the region. That means:

• We follow provincial regulations and use only approved, high-quality products
• Your lawn is treated safely and legally, with no risk to your family, pets, or neighboring plants
• You get real results, not a short-term patch or an illegal shortcut

When to Apply Lawn Herbicide

• Mid-summer treatments are also possible with proper timing and care

We’ll advise you on the best time based on your lawn’s condition and the weed types present.
