Chickweed is a persistent problem in Florida lawns, especially during cooler months. This invasive weed thrives in nitrogen-rich soil and quickly spreads across bare patches, forming dense mats that can outcompete turfgrass.
Grasses and trees have long shared landscapes but often struggle to coexist. Trees naturally create dense canopies, casting shade that limits the sunlight reaching the ground. Most turf grasses need four to six hours of direct sun daily to thrive.
