Broomfield Company Shows Homeowners How to Kill Weeds Without Harming Grass
Broomfield, United States - June 30, 2025 / Olson Outdoors /
BROOMFIELD, CO – Colorado is now in peak growing season. Olson Outdoors has shared detailed tips to help Front Range homeowners fight stubborn lawn weed problems without hurting their grass. This complete guide helps with the special challenges Colorado lawns face during June's important growing period, when both grass and weeds compete to grow.
This timing is really important for homeowners in Broomfield, Arvada, Westminster, and nearby areas. They're dealing with more weeds like dandelions, crabgrass, and other plants that grow well during Colorado's change from spring to summer. The expert tips, explained in their latest article on how to get rid of weeds in lawn without killing grass, give both quick fixes and long-term ways to prevent weeds that work well for local growing conditions.
Understanding Colorado's Special June Weed Problem
Colorado's Front Range has lawn care challenges that are different from other places. The mix of high altitude, strong sun, changing rain patterns, and big temperature changes creates conditions where weeds can quickly take over stressed grass.
During June, soil gets to the perfect temperature for weeds to sprout while spring moisture turns into dry conditions. This change is especially hard for homeowners in places like Broomfield and Westminster, where older neighborhoods have different soil types and sun patterns.
Common June weed problems include:
Dandelions growing their second round of the year
Crabgrass showing up in thin lawn areas
Bindweed starting to spread quickly in summer
Plantain and clover growing in packed soil areas
Purslane growing in dry, stressed areas
The problem gets worse because strong weed killers often damage cool-season grasses that are common in the Front Range, like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue that make up most local lawns. Many homeowners accidentally create brown patches and thin spots when trying harsh weed control, which actually creates more chances for weeds to grow later.
Research shows that healthy, thick grass gives the best long-term weed prevention. This makes keeping existing grass healthy the most important part of any weed control plan. This idea guides professional lawn care methods throughout Colorado's challenging growing conditions.
Complete Weed Control Solutions for Colorado Lawns
Olson Outdoors offers complete weed management services built specifically for Colorado's unique growing conditions. What makes them different? They don't just kill weeds today – they create a plan that keeps your lawn healthy and weed-free for years to come.
Professional Weed Killer Treatments That Protect Your Grass
Most weed killers work, but they can hurt your grass too. Olson Outdoors uses smart, targeted treatments that go after specific weeds while keeping your grass safe.
For broad-leaf weeds like dandelions, clover, and plantain, they use a special three-way mix. This combination includes three powerful ingredients (2,4-D, MCPP, and dicamba) that work together to completely eliminate these stubborn weeds.
Crabgrass is trickier because it's actually a type of grass itself. That's why they use different products called fenoxaprop or quinclorac that can tell the difference between crabgrass and your good grass.
The key is timing. Apply these treatments at the wrong time, and you might hurt your lawn. Apply them at the right time, and the weeds disappear while your grass stays healthy.
Natural and Organic Options for Earth-Friendly Homeowners
Not everyone wants to use traditional weed killers, and that's okay. Olson Outdoors offers several natural approaches that work well in Colorado:
Corn gluten meal acts as a natural pre-emergent. It stops weed seeds from sprouting in the first place, but it won't hurt existing grass.
Targeted vinegar treatments can kill existing weeds naturally. The key word is "targeted" – they carefully apply it only where needed.
Hand removal programs might sound old-fashioned, but they work great for small areas or tough weeds. Plus, they immediately overseed any bare spots so weeds can't come back.
Prevention Programs: Making Your Grass Too Strong for Weeds
The best weed control happens before weeds even show up. Olson Outdoors creates conditions where your grass grows thick and strong, leaving no room for weeds to take hold.
Custom fertilizer schedules give your grass exactly what it needs, when it needs it. They use slow-release fertilizers that work well in Colorado's intense sun and changing weather.
Smart watering management is crucial here. Colorado's low humidity and high evaporation rates mean you need to water differently than other places. They help you water in ways that help grass but don't encourage weeds.
Aeration services fix one of Colorado's biggest problems: packed clay soil. When soil is too packed, grass roots can't grow deep, but weeds can still find ways to grow. Aeration loosens the soil so grass roots can spread and dominate.
Every Property is Different
Here's something most companies don't understand: a lawn in Arvada's older neighborhoods needs different care than a new development in Erie or Longmont.
Older neighborhoods often have mature trees, different soil types, and established watering systems. Newer areas might have different soil, less shade, or newer sprinkler systems. Olson Outdoors looks at each property individually and creates a plan that fits your specific situation.
Timing is Everything in Colorado
Colorado's weather can be unpredictable. A warm February day followed by a late spring snow can throw off many weed control plans.
That's why Olson Outdoors doesn't just follow a calendar. They watch weather patterns, check soil temperatures, and monitor how your grass is growing. Then they time treatments perfectly to get the best results while causing the least stress to your lawn.
This careful timing means treatments work better and your grass stays healthier throughout the process.
Advanced Methods and Local Know-How Set Olson Outdoors Apart
Over 10 Years of Colorado-Specific Experience
Since 2014, Olson Outdoors has been solving lawn problems that are unique to Colorado. While other companies might use the same approach everywhere, they've spent over ten years learning exactly what works in our challenging Front Range environment.
What makes Colorado lawns different? It's the combination of high altitude, intense sun, clay soils, and unpredictable weather. Most generic lawn care methods fail here because they weren't designed for these conditions. But Olson Outdoors has adapted proven agricultural science to work specifically for Colorado properties.
Professional Equipment and Precision Application
Ever wonder why some lawn treatments work perfectly while others leave streaky results or brown spots? It often comes down to the equipment and how it's used.
Olson Outdoors uses professional-grade equipment that's calibrated for optimal coverage with minimal waste. But here's the game-changer: they use GPS-guided application tracking. This technology ensures every square foot gets the right amount of treatment while preventing dangerous overlaps that can stress or damage your grass.
Their technicians aren't just trained once and forgotten about either. They receive ongoing education in herbicide resistance management. Why does this matter? Weed populations are constantly adapting. What worked five years ago might not work today. This ongoing training ensures their treatments stay effective as weeds evolve.
Soil-Specific Customization Based on Your Location
Not all Colorado soil is the same, and Olson Outdoors knows this better than anyone.
Properties in Broomfield often have clay-heavy soils that drain slowly and pack easily. These lawns need different treatment protocols than sandy locations near waterways, which drain quickly but don't hold nutrients well.
The differences aren't just academic – they affect everything from how often to water, what type of fertilizer works best, and even which herbicides will be most effective. A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't work when soil conditions vary this much across the Front Range.
Weather Monitoring and Smart Scheduling
Colorado weather can change fast. A perfect treatment day can turn into a windy, dry disaster in hours. That's why Olson Outdoors doesn't just check the weather app – they use professional weather monitoring and adaptive scheduling.
The company maintains relationships with Colorado State University Extension services and local agricultural weather stations. This gives them access to detailed, localized weather data that helps them time treatments perfectly.
Why does this matter? Apply herbicides during windy conditions, and they might drift onto plants you want to keep. Apply them right before a heavy rain, and they might wash away before they work. Perfect timing means better results and safer application.
These special abilities, combined with their established reputation throughout the region, make Olson Outdoors the top choice for homeowners wanting reliable, effective lawn care solutions. Their complete understanding of local challenges, from altitude-related stress factors to seasonal water limits, enables consistently successful results where general approaches often fail.
Special Services for Colorado's Unique Challenges
High-Altitude Lawn Recovery Programs
Colorado's high altitude creates lawn stress that you won't find in other parts of the country. The intense UV exposure can literally burn grass, while rapid temperature changes stress plants beyond their normal limits.
Olson Outdoors has developed specialized high-altitude lawn recovery programs that help grass bounce back from this environmental stress. These programs combine targeted treatments with strategic timing to help your lawn adapt and thrive in our challenging conditions.
Drought-Resistant Lawn Establishment
Let's face it – Colorado's precipitation patterns are becoming more unpredictable. Some years bring plenty of moisture, others leave us in drought conditions. Smart homeowners are preparing their lawns to handle both extremes.
Their drought-resistant lawn establishment services don't just plant grass and hope for the best. They select grass varieties that can handle Colorado's variable conditions, prepare soil to retain moisture more effectively, and create watering strategies that build strong, deep root systems.
Solving Clay Soil Problems
Front Range clay soil is beautiful for growing certain plants, but it's tough on grass. Clay soil tends to pack down, preventing water and air from reaching grass roots. When clay soil gets compacted, grass struggles while weeds often thrive.
Core aeration and overseeding programs specifically target these soil compaction issues. Aeration creates channels for water and air to reach grass roots, while overseeding fills in thin areas before weeds can establish.
These services are especially valuable if you have heavy foot traffic areas or recent construction that has compacted your soil. The result? Thicker grass that naturally crowds out weeds.
Integrated Pest and Disease Management
Here's something many homeowners don't realize: weed problems, pest problems, and disease problems are all connected. When grass gets stressed by pests or diseases, it becomes much more vulnerable to weed invasion.
Olson Outdoors understands these connections. Their comprehensive lawn care services combine weed control with proactive disease prevention and pest management. This integrated approach means you're not just treating symptoms – you're building a healthy lawn ecosystem that can defend itself.
Commitment to Customer Satisfaction and Community Excellence
Long-Term Relationships, Not Quick Fixes
Here's what sets Olson Outdoors apart from many lawn care companies: they're not interested in quick fixes that look good for a month and then fail. Their approach prioritizes long-term relationships over short-term profits.
What does this mean for you? Every client receives personalized attention and custom solutions designed for their specific property and goals. They take time to understand your lawn's unique challenges and create a plan that works for the long haul.
Quality Guarantees and Responsive Service
Every service comes with quality guarantees, giving you confidence in your investment. But guarantees are only as good as the company behind them.
Olson Outdoors backs up their guarantees with responsive customer service that addresses concerns quickly and professionally. They also provide ongoing monitoring throughout Colorado's challenging growing season to ensure treatments achieve the intended results.
Environmental Responsibility and Community Impact
The company's dedication to community excellence goes beyond individual properties. They support overall neighborhood aesthetics and property values through environmentally responsible practices that protect local water resources.
Their approach helps homeowners achieve lawn health goals without excessive chemical inputs or wasteful practices. This benefits not just your property, but the entire community's environmental health.
Active Community Involvement
Local community involvement demonstrates their commitment to Front Range excellence. They sponsor community events, support local environmental initiatives, and maintain partnerships with regional horticultural organizations.
This involvement keeps them current with emerging best practices and local regulatory changes affecting lawn care services. It also shows they're invested in the community's long-term success, not just their own business growth.
