Nothing ruins the pride you have in your home faster than a yard completely overrun by ugly, aggressive weeds. Dandelions pop up like yellow polka dots, creeping Charlie chokes out your healthy turf, and thick patches of crabgrass make the yard look like a neglected pasture. Pulling them by hand is a miserable, back-breaking chore, and because you almost always leave a microscopic root fragment behind, the weed simply grows right back next week. We are Lathrup Village, MI’s elite specialists in professional lawn weed control. We use highly advanced agronomic science to break the life cycle of these invasive plants, eliminating current weeds and erecting an invisible barrier to stop future seeds from ever sprouting.

The absolute best way to kill a weed is to never let it grow in the first place. Millions of weed seeds are currently lying dormant in the soil of your yard, just waiting for the ground temperature to warm up so they can germinate. We deploy highly effective "pre-emergent" herbicides in the early spring. When watered in, this product creates a microscopic chemical barrier across the top layer of your soil. When an invasive weed seed (like crabgrass) attempts to sprout and push its first root through this barrier, it is instantly terminated. This proactive strategy drastically reduces the amount of weeds you will see all summer long.
No barrier is 100% perfect, and certain aggressive broadleaf weeds (like dandelions, clover, and thistle) blow into your yard on the wind and will inevitably sprout. When you hire us for lawn weed control, our technicians routinely patrol your property for these invaders. We use highly targeted, liquid "post-emergent" treatments. These specialized herbicides are systemic—meaning they are absorbed by the weed's leaves and travel all the way down to completely destroy the taproot. Most importantly, these specific treatments are selectively designed to attack broadleaf weeds while remaining completely harmless to your healthy, green turfgrass.
Chemicals are only half of the solution. A yard that is thin, patchy, and starved of nutrients is an open invitation for weeds because there is plenty of bare dirt and sunlight available for seeds to grow. The absolute ultimate weed control strategy is establishing a dense, aggressively thick canopy of healthy grass. We combine our weed eradication protocols with deep-root fertilization and proper mowing heights. By making your turf incredibly thick and robust, the healthy grass literally crowds out the weeds, shading the soil so intensely that weed seeds can never gain a foothold.
Stop breaking your back pulling weeds that just keep coming back. Partner with the licensed professionals who have the chemistry and the knowledge to eradicate the infestation permanently.

"We had so many dandelions and clover patches it looked like a messy carpet. SFH Landscaping came out, applied their lawn weed control treatments, and within two weeks, the weeds were completely gone and the grass filled in perfectly. So happy with the results!"
"I tried every spray at the store to kill the creeping Charlie choking out my backyard, but nothing worked. The technician came out, used a specialized commercial spray, and it completely wiped the vines out without hurting my grass at all."
"They put down a pre-emergent treatment in the spring, and for the first time in five years, I didn't have a single patch of crabgrass ruin my front lawn in July. They truly understand the science of a healthy yard."
The city of Lathrup Village is an outgrowth of the development known as Lathrup Townsite, the dream of its developer Louise Lathrup Kelley. In 1923 she purchased a tract of 1,000 acres (4 km2) in Southfield Township, in southern Oakland County, and proceeded to plant a residential neighborhood that encompasses the city of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2). Lathrup Townsite was conceived as a controlled community with rigorous standards, including houses built only of masonry construction; early integration of attached garages; as well as established minimums for construction cost to ensure quality. The community also had housing covenants to prevent the sale of homes to African American families, part of a larger trend in the mid-20th century of racist white Detroiters fleeing to the suburbs to avoid living near black residents (see white flight). As the community developed, Mrs. Kelley implemented numerous innovative directives, including operating a shuttle service to local shopping areas, and allowing the financing of automobiles as part of the financing of houses, which created a stronger connection between the relatively isolated townsite and more established suburbs, as well as the city of Detroit. Mr. Charles Kelley, who had been a real estate writer for the Detroit News, assisted his wife in bringing talented architects to the community to design many of the custom homes that are features of the community. The City of Lathrup Village was incorporated in 1953 as the first incorporated community in Southfield Township. The residents thwarted an attempt by township residents to include Lathrup Townsite in their planned incorporation of the city of Southfield, resulting in Southfield's incorporation being delayed until 1958. Louise Lathrup Kelley played an active role in the new city until her death in 1963, after which her remaining real estate holdings in the city were sold and developed.
