Yes.

Some weeds are annuals, others are perennials. You need to identify the weeds to know whether or not they'll come back in the Spring.

For example common mallow is an annual, so is crabgrass. They won't start growing again next Spring.

Other annual weeds will sprout in the fall, survive the Winter and keep growing in Spring, then die when the heat of Summer hits.

Dandelions are perennials and will survive the Winter and continue growing again next year.

If you want to start spraying your lawns you should look into getting licensed before Spring.

Thanks great information.

 

I just have to ask, "Are you licensed to apply pesticides?"
The answer to your question is part of the required training.

 

No not yet. I just wanted to know so I can advise my clients.

 

The answer to your question (headline) is both.

 

I was going to say the same thing then saw your post. Bravo my friend bravo.

 

I wouldn’t advise clients in an area that you aren’t certified to advise in... recipe for disaster. Plus, if they ask you to treat anything and you say I’m not licensed, it makes you look bad. And definitely don’t apply without a license!

Depending how bad it is, you could go out there with a shovel and dig them out

 

Perennials--like clover also violets and ground ivy--will stand out. However, this is also winter annual season. Winter annuals like chickweed, henbit and hairy bittercress sprout about now and persist into the spring. Then going to seed just before dying in hot weather.

 

This is an area that ALL landscapers should have knowledge in, the life cycle of annuals, bi-annuals and perennials. Also conifers, deciduous, flowering, non flowering, fruit, non fruit.....
