Lawn Weed Control Services in Independence & Surrounding Areas

YEAR-ROUND WEED CONTROL DESIGNED FOR MISSOURI LAWNS

Weeds are more than a cosmetic problem—they compete with your grass for sunlight, nutrients, and moisture, weakening your lawn over time. At Royal Lawn Service, we offer a full-service 7-step weed control and lawn care program designed to prevent and eliminate invasive weeds while strengthening your turf through every season.

Our comprehensive approach combines timely applications of pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control, granular fertilizer, surface insect control, and preventative grub control, all scheduled to align with the growing patterns and weed cycles in the Kansas City area. Whether you're managing a home lawn, commercial site, or HOA, our program delivers protection and performance backed by over 17 years of experience.

What Types of Weeds Do We Control?

Our program targets both grassy and broadleaf weeds common in Missouri lawns. These include:

Grassy Weeds:
• Crabgrass
• Foxtail
• Goosegrass
• Nutsedge

Broadleaf Weeds:
• Dandelion
• Clover
• Chickweed
• Plantain
• Thistle

We apply targeted selective herbicides based on season, weed type, and lawn conditions. All treatments are carefully chosen to avoid harming your desirable turfgrass.

Weed Control + Fertilization = Healthier Turf

Fertilization is a critical component of our weed control program. A dense, well-fed lawn naturally resists weed invasion. Our slow-release granular fertilizers are applied throughout the growing season to encourage deep roots, thicker growth, and improved drought resistance.

If your lawn is thin or has suffered weed issues in the past, we may recommend core aeration and overseeding in the fall to help crowd out future weed growth and restore uniform turf density.

Insect & Grub Protection Included

Our program also protects your lawn from damaging pests:
Preventative grub control in early summer prevents root destruction from beetle larvae.
Surface insect control in summer keeps chinch bugs, sod webworms, fleas, and ticks from disrupting lawn health or posing a risk to pets and people.
