What can you expect from our wild violet weed control service?
One of Rainbow’s lawn care experts will survey your property to understand the severity of your weed problem. This examination will allow us to understand the extent of your wild violet problem and develop a plan to control and remove the weeds from your lawn. Since every yard is unique, we tailor treatment to meet your specific needs. Unlike many other companies, Rainbow Lawncare only applies weed control where it is needed. This allows us to avoid blanket applications during the fertilization process — which is safer for other plants, children, and pets — without reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
One of the most effective ways to keep your yard weed-free is to maintain healthy, dense turf. This is especially true for wild violets, as they can outcompete patchy or unhealthy grass. In order to achieve and keep a healthy yard, many people combine weed control services with Rainbow Lawncare’s premium fertilization program. Customers enrolled in this program get free weed control call-backs if there are weed issues between our visits.

Additional frequently asked questions about wild violet control
Small clumps of wild violets can be removed from your lawn by hand, but be sure to get rid of all parts of the roots and rhizome to prevent them from regrowing. For more widespread issues, treatment by a professional is the way to go — especially because spraying weeds on your own is more likely to result in negative effects for your lawn and the environment.
No — any company that advertises 100% weed control of any kind can only achieve those results by covering your lawn with herbicides multiple times throughout the year. A more realistic and healthier benchmark is a yard that is about 80% weed-free that results from occasional treatment and a healthy, dense turf.
Wild violets begin growing in April and will often continue growing through June.
Yes, so leaving the herbicides to the professionals is your best option. Most herbicides that affect wild violets will also kill other broadleaf plants like shrubs and trees. Since weeds are a symptom of a deeper problem with your lawn’s health, the best way to prevent them is with dense and robust grass. This can be achieved by improving the soil, applying quality granular fertilizer, and employing proper lawn mowing and lawn watering practices.
