Lawn Weed Control in West Point Grey – Ascent Yard Care

Lawn Weed Control in West Point Grey – Ascent Yard Care

A weed-free lawn is the foundation of a beautiful property—but in West Point Grey, even well-maintained lawns are under constant pressure from invasive, aggressive weeds. At Ascent Yard Care, we specialize in licensed, science-based weed control tailored to the local climate, soil conditions, and the most common invaders in this region.

The Problem With Lawn Weeds in West Point Grey

West Point Grey is known for its mature trees, established homes, and coastal weather patterns. But that same environment creates ideal conditions for weed growth—especially in lawns with:

• Shade from large trees
• Compacted or acidic soil
• Thin or patchy grass
• Poor drainage
• Infrequent aeration or overseeding

Weeds thrive where turf is stressed or underperforming—and in a neighborhood like this, even a small outbreak can diminish curb appeal quickly.

The Most Common Lawn Weeds We Treat in West Point Grey

Weed types vary by season, soil, and sunlight exposure. These are the most common—and most persistent—lawn weeds we eliminate for West Point Grey clients:

1. Creeping Buttercup (Ranunculus repens)

• Thrives in compacted, damp, acidic soil
• Spreads rapidly via runners
• Selective herbicide + soil correction required

2. White Clover (Trifolium repens)

• Often a sign of low nitrogen
• Low-growing with small white flowers
• Treatable with selective broadleaf herbicides + fertilization

3. Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

• Deep taproot makes manual removal difficult
• Spreads by windborne seeds
• Easily treated with spot-spray herbicide, especially in spring/fall

4. Plantain (Broadleaf & Narrowleaf)

• Flat, tough rosettes; common in compacted soil
• Indicates poor lawn health or bare spots
• Needs broadleaf herbicide + aeration + overseeding

5. Chickweed (Stellaria media)

• Cool-season annual weed
• Spreads quickly in shaded, moist areas
• Best controlled in early spring or late fall

6. Oxeye Daisy & Other Wildflowers

• Often mistaken as “pretty” weeds but outcompete grass
• Require chemical treatment and dense turf to suppress reemergence

7. Moss

• Technically not a weed—but a major turf invader
• Thrives in shade, poor drainage, and acidic soil
• Requires mechanical removal, liming, and turf rehab

8. Speedwell, Veronica, and Lesser Celandine

• Small-flowered broadleaf weeds
• Often found in shady lawns
• Require repeated herbicide applications and turf thickening

Our Licensed Weed Control Program

We don’t just treat what’s growing—we fix the conditions that allowed the weeds to take over.

Our lawn weed control service includes:

• Licensed herbicide application (we’re certified in BC) using selective broadleaf and targeted treatments
• Lawn aeration to improve drainage and root health
• Lime application to balance soil pH where needed
• Custom fertilization to strengthen turf and choke out weeds
• Overseeding bare patches with premium seed blends
• Topdressing and composting for long-term resilience

This approach ensures your lawn comes back stronger—and stays weed-free longer.
