Common Types of Weeds
Broadleaf Weeds
Broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, thistles, and clovers grow in most turf and garden environments. These plants have wide leaves and spread quickly, disrupting soil health and turf aesthetics.
Grassy Weeds
Common grassy weeds like crabgrass and goosegrass resemble turfgrass, making them harder to detect. These invaders thrive in compacted or poorly maintained soils.
Sedge Weeds
Often mistaken for grass, sedge weeds have triangular stems and glossy leaves. Nutgrass is a common example and is often found in moist areas.
Invasive Alien Plants
These include black wattle, lantana, and morning glory. They are aggressive in nature, reducing native plant populations and disturbing ecosystems.
