Dandelions, plantain, crabgrass and creeping weeds take over thin lawns fast. PureLawn’s weed control is part of a full organic-based lawn care program for homes across the Cincinnati and Dayton areas. Instead of blanket-spraying your whole yard, we treat the weeds that are actually there and feed the soil so your grass grows thick enough to keep new ones out.

Spot Treatment, Not Blanket Spraying
Most lawn companies spray every square foot of a lawn whether it has weeds or not. We spot-spray only the weeds that are present, and we customize spraying if you have areas you want treated differently or left alone. That is a big part of how our programs use up to 95% fewer lawn chemicals.
Two Ways to Control Weeds
- PureLawn Bridge: five services a year with crabgrass prevention, five organic-based turf feedings, spot weed control and humates. Best if you want strong weed control with far fewer chemicals.
- PureLawn PureGreen: five services a year and 100% chemical free. Corn gluten meal goes down as a natural preemergent, and custom-blended organic fertilizers build the turf up. Weeds drop over time rather than overnight, so we recommend adding fall aeration and seeding to fill the thin spots weeds move into.
See the full Lawn Treatment Programs page to compare them.
A Thick Lawn Is the Best Weed Control
Weeds move into bare and thin turf. That is why our weed control works alongside lawn fertilization, crabgrass prevention and fall core aeration or aeration and overseeding. Some weeds also point to a soil problem. Plantain and knotweed often mean compacted soil, and a soil test shows what your lawn is missing.

Weed Control FAQs
Do you spray my whole lawn?
No. We spot-spray only the weeds that are there, and we can customize spraying on request.
Is there a chemical-free option?
Yes. PureGreen is 100% chemical free and uses corn gluten meal as a natural preemergent. It reduces weeds gradually, and results build after a few seasons of steady use.
What if weeds come back between visits?
Call us. Service calls between visits are free.
Can weed control fix a thin lawn by itself?
Not on its own. Thin turf keeps inviting weeds, so we pair weed control with feeding and fall seeding.
