Weed control is a process, and results depend on the type of weeds, your lawn's condition, and the time of year. Most homeowners see improvement within 7 to 14 days after a treatment, but complete weed eradication can take multiple applications.
No, effective weed control requires a season-long approach. Some weeds require multiple applications, and pre-emergent treatments are necessary to prevent new weeds from growing. Our 7-step program ensures your lawn stays weed-free throughout the year.
Yes! Our pre-emergent weed control treatments stop weed seeds from sprouting. This is crucial for crabgrass, annual bluegrass, and other aggressive weeds. Combined with post-emergent treatments, this prevents weeds at all stages of their life cycle.
Yes, but we recommend keeping children and pets off the lawn for at least 24 hours after application. Once the treatment has dried, it is completely safe.
No, our selective herbicides target weeds while leaving your grass healthy and unharmed. In fact, proper weed control helps your lawn thrive by reducing competition for nutrients and water.
Some weeds, especially deep-rooted broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover, may take multiple applications to fully eradicate. Also, new weeds may emerge from seeds already present in the soil. This is why a consistent treatment program is necessary.
The most common lawn weeds in New Jersey include:
- Crabgrass
- Dandelions
- Clover
- Goosegrass
- Yellow nutsedge
- Chickweed
It's best to avoid mowing 24-48 hours before and after a weed control application. This allows the treatment to fully absorb into the weeds and ensures the best results.
A thick, healthy lawn is your best defense against weeds. Proper fertilization, aeration, and regular mowing help create a dense turf that crowds out weeds. Our 7-step weed control and fertilization program is designed to do just that!

What Our Customers Say...

Excellent experience with Jeff and his crew to replace front sidewalk. Will definitely call JB"s again

We have been so lucky to have JBs take care of our seasonal landscaping/hardscaping needs and also snow plowing/salting for both our family home and our business properties. They have been reliable and reasonable over the years. Jeff has gone out of his way to accommodate our requests and Angela is a pleasure to work with.

We have been customers since 2012! Every year we start off the season with a Spring Clean up in our gardens and lawn followed by a lawn fertilization. Then our weekly lawn cuttings go from mid April to late October early November. The maintenance team does a thorough job leaving our lawn looking neat and nicely manicured. The office staff is attentive and makes sure to satisfy our special requests. Kudos to JB’s, you will look forward to seeing their truck pull up to your property every week! LO (Blairstown)
