Weeds succeed in landscapes that are designed or managed inappropriately. The best way to minimize competition from weeds is to use management practices that promote the healthy growth of desirable plants and to remove weeds and weed parts in a timely manner using mechanical and chemical means that reduce spread and seed development.

Herbicides are an important tool for controlling weeds but may be a short-term fix without correcting the underlying problem. Understanding why a weed has become established in a landscape is important for reducing future weed infestations. Herbicides should be selected based on the weed species present. Applying herbicides at the correct time relative to the weed life cycle is critical for successful management.
