Weeds Don’t Take Days Off — Neither Do We
Weeds in Sioux Falls are relentless. Crabgrass, foxtail, dandelions, clover, ground ivy, spurge—they’re all competing with your grass for water, nutrients, and sunlight. And if you don’t have a consistent, professional program in place, they’re winning.
The bags from the hardware store only address part of the problem. They use generic formulations applied on a generic schedule. Professional-grade herbicides use different active ingredients applied at precise timing based on soil temperature—not a calendar printed on the back of a bag. That precision is the difference between a lawn that fights weeds all season and one that stays ahead of them.
Sharp Lawn Care delivers a two-phase weed control program for homeowners across the Sioux Falls metro. Pre-emergent prevention stops weeds before they germinate. Post-emergent treatments eliminate the ones that break through. Together, they give your lawn the upper hand—and keep it there.
How Our Weed Control Program Works in Sioux Falls, SD
Our approach is built on two phases that work together throughout the growing season:
Phase 1: Pre-Emergent Prevention
Applied in early spring before soil temperatures allow crabgrass and foxtail to germinate. This creates an invisible barrier in the soil that stops weeds before they ever appear above ground. We follow up with a second pre-emergent application in mid-spring for extended protection—because one round isn’t always enough in the Sioux Falls climate.
Phase 2: Post-Emergent Weed Control
For active broadleaf weeds that push through or arrive later in the season, we apply targeted post-emergent treatments using high-power active ingredients. Summer applications include 4-way herbicide treatments that hit weeds from multiple angles—dandelions, clover, ground ivy, spurge, and other broadleaf invaders don’t stand a chance.

Need Faster Results? The Sharp Weed Buster Package
For lawns dealing with aggressive weed situations, the Weed Buster Package delivers 4 high-power treatments in a sequential two-month timeframe. The first spray weakens the weeds. Then, while they’re vulnerable, we hit them with another treatment using a different mode of action to finish them off. This cycle repeats to ensure even the toughest weeds are eliminated.
The Weed Buster is a one-time add-on package designed to work on top of your regular program. It’s not a replacement—it’s a turbo boost for lawns that need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should pre-emergent weed control be applied in Sioux Falls?
- Early spring, before soil temperatures allow crabgrass and foxtail to germinate. The first application is a crabgrass and foxtail pre-emergent paired with stabilized fertilizer. A mid-spring boost adds additional pre-emergent plus targeted broadleaf control. Timing is critical—applying too early or too late reduces effectiveness significantly.
- What weeds are most common in Sioux Falls lawns?
- Crabgrass, foxtail, dandelions, clover, ground ivy, spurge, and various broadleaf weeds. Pre-emergent stops crabgrass and foxtail before they start. Post-emergent targets active broadleaf weeds with high-power active ingredients and 4-way herbicide applications that hit weeds from multiple angles.
- What if weeds come back between treatments?
- Our Premium package includes free spot spray for tough weeds like crabgrass, spurge, clover, and ground ivy. Other packages offer spot spray at $15 per gallon prorated—for example, a quarter gallon costs just $3.75. Our technicians scan for problem areas every visit and address them proactively.
- Can you get rid of weeds faster?
- Yes. The Sharp Weed Buster Package delivers 4 high-power treatments in a two-month timeframe. Sequential mode-of-action changes weaken weeds, then finish them off while they’re vulnerable. It’s a one-time add-on that works on top of your regular program for aggressive weed situations.

- We serve Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, Tea, Lennox, Canton, Hartford, Worthing, Beresford, Buffalo Ridge, Jefferson, and Shindler. If you’re in the Sioux Empire, we can most likely help.

- How is weed control pricing calculated?
- Your price is based on your lawn’s total square footage. Weed control is bundled with fertilization in all three of our packages, so you’re getting both services in each application. The more comprehensive the package, the more treatments and protections you receive.
