Rain is healthy for your landscaping, but too much rain can have unintended consequences. Weeds frequently spring up and quickly get out of control during monsoon season, thanks to the rich levels of moisture and nutrients in the soil. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend summer days out in the yard pulling up weeds to keep them out of your landscaping. Try these tips for dealing with weeds when monsoon season arrives.

Get Proactive

The best time to fight monsoon-related weeds is before monsoon season actually begins. Start by calling out your landscaper to inspect any weeds you have before the season begins, so that he or she can identify the species and determine the best of controlling them. In some cases, pre-treating your yard with herbicide is the most effective option, but your landscaper can help you find a safe product that you are comfortable using that will also keep your weed population under control.

Pluck Weeds All Year Long

Weeds can grow in any time of year, and if your lawn is full of them when monsoon season hits, they will be even more difficult to control. Throughout the year, inspect your lawn and pull weeds whenever you see them. Getting rid of them on an ongoing basis will make it easier to manage mass growth periods, like monsoon season.

Go Professional

Weeds are extremely challenging to control. Seeds can blow into your yard at any time, and they can grow in as little as a day. The best way to reclaim your lawn from weeds is to hire a professional landscaper to maintain your yard year-round. Your landscaper can create a plan specific to your needs to keeping weeds under control, making seasonal adjustments as needed for things like monsoon rains.
