Worcester Wild Violet Control

Protect Your Lawn from Invasive Species in Central Massachusetts

Violets are one of the toughest weeds to control. The durability of their creeping root system and the waxy coating on their leaves make this weed quite resistant to control products. They are also low-growing, making them difficult to reach with a lawn mower. Violets can store water in their robust stems, enabling them to withstand drought.

What Are Wild Violets? 

Violets are considered an annual weed in cool-season climates and a perennial in warmer climates. Perennial types have rhizomes or long stolons, heart-shaped leaves on long petioles, and purplish-white flowers. Annual types have irregularly shaped leaves, hairy stems, and light yellow to purple flowers.

Violet Control Services for Premier & Organic Lawn Care Program Customers

Ford's Hometown Services’s Premier and Organic Lawn Care Programs include selective herbicide applications to control a broad range of broadleaf weeds. With our programs, we have experienced limited control of violets. We recommend, between regular treatments, a minimum of two additional control treatments so that these weeds will not have a chance to recover between applications.

You could always take a chance and dig up these difficult weeds; however, if you miss any of the roots, they will more than likely grow back. When it comes to any weed, the best method of control is a thick and healthy lawn with dense grass roots to prevent violets from taking hold.

Please note: Violets are best controlled in late fall before dormancy, except that if fall seeding is needed, it is best to spray violets during the year. If you have violets in your flowerbeds, we will not spray the beds with this service. 100% control cannot be achieved due to outside pressures.

If you are not on our fertilizing programs, we recommend a minimum of 3–4 services approximately 4 weeks apart according to label. 

Call us today at (774) 418-4908 to learn more about our programs! Our wild violet control services are available to customers participating in our Premier or Organic Lawn Care Programs.
