Weeds

This page includes a link to a list of common weeds in our area with photos. If you recognize the name, click on it to see a photo and confirm your diagnosis. If you have the name that is not on the common list, access the "Virginia Tech Weed Identification Guide" and use the alphabetical weed index to select the name and see a photo.

Once the weed is identified go to "Spring and Summer Lawn Management for Cool-Season Turf" for a discussion of proper application of control measures. For natural alternatives in weed control go to "Beyond Pesticides."
