Fall Weed Control Guide

Reading Time: 4–5 Minutes

Short Answer

Fall is one of the most overlooked—and most important—times of year for weed control.

Many weeds continue growing well into the fall. Treating them before winter helps clean up your landscape and reduces the number of established weeds you'll have to deal with when spring arrives.


Why Fall Weed Control Matters

Just because summer is ending doesn't mean weeds stop growing.

Many weeds remain active during the fall, especially while temperatures are still moderate.

By controlling them now, you can:

  • Clean up your property before winter.
  • Eliminate weeds before they continue growing.
  • Reduce the number of mature weeds next spring.
  • Keep driveways, patios, and landscape beds looking their best.

A little effort in the fall can make spring yard work much easier.


Where to Check for Weeds

Before winter arrives, inspect the areas where weeds commonly grow.

Pay special attention to:

  • Driveways
  • Sidewalks
  • Patios
  • Gravel
  • Landscape beds
  • Fence lines
  • Around trees and shrubs
  • Cracks in concrete

Removing weeds now helps prevent your property from going into winter overgrown.


How to Get the Best Results

For effective fall weed control:

  • Spray weeds while they are still actively growing.
  • Thoroughly cover the leaves and stems.
  • Apply when the weeds are dry.
  • Choose a calm day when rain is not expected shortly after application.
  • Follow all label directions.

As temperatures begin to cool, it's still important to treat weeds before they become dormant.


End the Season Strong

Fall is an excellent time to give your landscape one final inspection before winter.

Walk your property and spot treat any remaining weeds.

Doing so helps:

  • Improve your property's appearance.
  • Reduce cleanup next spring.
  • Keep weeds from becoming established.
  • Start the next growing season with a cleaner landscape.

A few minutes of maintenance now can save hours of work later.
