WEEDS, MOSS & PESTS
WEEDS of turfgrass areas and hard surfaces
The photographs below will be added to over time as they are collected.
Many turfgrass weeds are broad-leaved plants that are growing where they are not required. We may also consider annual meadow grass a weed in certain situations and some rushes also pose a potential problem in wet turfgrass swards. Weeds are also a problem around buildings, in flower borders and on areas of uncultivated land. In turf, they affect the visual and playing quality of the sward and in other areas, they cause an untidy appearance to the area and also act as a source of seed that can blow on to fine turf areas, creating weed problems for the future.
Weeds given below have their common and Latin name. Click on any of the links to the Latin names to view pictures of the weed.
