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 Steelton, PA’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."
After initial habitation by Susquehannock Indians and subsequent nearby Harrisburg establishment, the area was owned by the Kelker family of Harrisburg by the 1800s. The 100-acre area was chosen in 1866 by Samuel Morse Felton Sr., president of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, to begin construction of a steel mill. This particular site was favored because of the location's proximity to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Pennsylvania Canal, and the nearby iron mine in Cornwall, Lebanon County. The land was purchased from owners Henry A. and Rudolph F. Kelker; then, steel pioneer Alexander Lyman Holley was chosen to build the mill along the Susquehanna River, which was completed by 1867 (along with a mansion for Felton), and began operation on May 15, 1868. Originally named "Baldwin" after Matthias W. Baldwin, founder of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, by 1871 it had changed to "Steel Works" after the existence of another Baldwin, Pennsylvania Post Office, and finally "Steelton" in 1879 after confusion of the Post Office with the steel mill itself. It was incorporated as a borough on January 19, 1880. The extensive steel works of the Pennsylvania Steel Company later became operated by Bethlehem Steel, ArcelorMittal, and currently Cleveland-Cliffs. Also present at one time were brickyards, a flouring mill, and machine shops.
