Professional Bahiagrass Control Services for a Healthier and Greener Lawn

Spotty Color

Bahiagrass doesn't have the uniform shade of green across the lawn that most homeowners want.

A Weedy Appearance

Though bahiagrass can actually be considered a desirable turfgrass in some southern regions of the US, the characteristics that help it thrive in warm climates also make it an aggressive weed in cool-season lawns.

Patchy Coverage

Bahiagrass doesn’t do well in shady areas, which means it will be thick in the sun, but thin and spotty in shaded areas.

Difficult to Mow

The inconsistent length and coarse texture make it hard to mow. Even a freshly manicured lawn may look spotty and uneven.

Open for Weeds & Pests

Bahiagrass’ spotty coverage and open growth habit make it easy for pets and weeds to invade your lawn.

Hard to Control

It spreads easily, which makes it very difficult to control and eradicate.

What is Bahiagrass?

Contrary to what you may think, Bahiagrass is not a weed. It’s a type of grass that is well-suited for warm climates like the southern US states.

However, it can be intrusive and unwanted by homeowners who want a more evenly covered and consistently colored lawn, particularly in the more northern and colder regions where Bahiagrass struggles. It can often look like a weed when it appears in many of the types of grass that thrive in northern climates.

How Do I Control Bahiagrass in My Lawn?

Weed Man’s Bahiagrass control strategy will vary based on a number of factors that include:

  • The amount of Bahiagrass you have
  • The overall health of your lawn
  • Your geographic area and its weather patterns
  • The topography of your neighborhood

In general, we rely on a blend of chemical and cultural methods. This often includes the use of a post-emergent herbicide.

How Do I Get Rid of Bahiagrass?

So-called “all-in-one” products and sprays sold in your local hardware store aren’t going to be much help.

The best Bahiagrass control strategies will often combine professional chemical solutions (i.e., post-emergent herbicide provided by Weed Man) with beneficial cultural practices (i.e., proper mowing, watering, fertilizing, and aerating) being carried out on a regular basis.

Most importantly, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. You will get the best results from a customized plan that is made with your lawn in mind.

Weed Man Austin, TX

I've been with Weed Man for 2 years or more and man they have been very helpful. Being a working mom and having 50 million things to do and one of them is not having to worry about my lawn because I know Weed Man will take care of it. I was always trying to find new ingredients to help with the weeds in my lawn and how time consuming it was, now I just wait for Weed Man to put me on their schedule. The price to me is reasonable for the service they provide.

Weed Man Billings, MT

The Weed Man has successfully eradicated an enormous number of weeds in my backyard with their initial treatment. I have found the Weed Man to be exceptionally responsive to any requests that I have made. The service is competent and very friendly. I highly recommend this company! Post Season follow-up: Throughout the season (It is now mid-September), the Weed Man technician, Damien, provided excellent service and was immediately responsive to all of my requests. If there were a couple of instances of a weed or two reappearing, he gladly stopped by to treat it. It has been a pleasure using Weed Man, and I absolutely recommend its services to anyone with a weed issue. I will continue to use Weed Man on an annual basis.
