Treating dandelion in your lawn
Dandelion, also known as dent-de-lion because of the shape of its leaves, is a sun-loving perennial plant. Considered a weed, it is nonetheless regarded in many parts of the world as a very complete food. Indeed, its leaves are often used to make salads, thanks to their great taste and high vitamin C content. They are also said to have a positive effect on water elimination. The roots and flowers are also used in certain European dishes.

How can I remove dandelion from my lawn?
In Quebec, dandelion is one of the best-known weeds. It can be found in meadows, fields and many lawns. Since this weed can grow up to 30 centimetres high and takes up a lot of volume for the same root system, it is one of the most dominant weeds in its environment. It even tends to smother the lawn, since it will have more exposure to the sun and its dominant root system will draw many of the nutrients available to the lawn. This is why weed control, including dandelion control, is so common on residential lawns.
Dandelion herbicide or dandelion remover?
There is, however, a widespread cultural alternative. Using a knife or a dandelion remover, you can get rid of this plant by hand. All you have to do is cut the root with a knife or pull it out with the tool mentioned earlier. The only problem is that when the root is partially cut, there is a risk that it will continue to grow and return to the surface. For this reason, the most effective alternative is a weed treatment using a dandelion herbicide or bio-herbicide.
To ensure a dense, uniform lawn, cVert offers weed treatment as one of its 3 service packages. Due to very strict regulations in the province of Quebec, not all weeds can be treated, as the products permitted are effective on a limited number of undesirable weeds. However, dandelion is a weed that is controlled by the various herbicides permitted in both regulated and unregulated cities.
