Seems like I have too much. I have a lawn treatment service done, 7 treatments a yr. Cant seem to knock the clover out. Is there a product for this? Does limeing help?

I use Turflon on my ballfields to control the clover. It works extremely well.

Weed-B-Gone liquid that you attach to garden hose.Worked for me.

Just watched a show about a guy that incorporates clovers into lawns asa water saving measures and the fact that they plug holes, fill in and dont show when you cut the lawn at a good height. I always cut at the highest my mower can go because weeds are decreased tremendously. Are you just swamped with them or flat out dont want them in our lawn at all?

Just curious. They attract Irish Midgets with pots of gold...so another reason I leave them there. Like cookies for santa. Im hoping one day I can catch him and wrestle.

I hope Andy never gets clover in his yard. Can you imagine him walking out one morning to a yard full of midgets???:D

Ortho Weed-b-gone. You can get it in the hose attachment as noted earlier, and you can get it in concentrate that you mix and place in a hand sprayer. I just sprayed mine last week. The directions say to use it a second time 2 weeks after the first spray.

There are also weed and feed fertilizers made for fall, sping and summer growing periods. I dont mind flowering clover, but I have burr clover... cant stand it, gets on everything if they dry out.

Clover = flowers = bees = stings = reactions = trouble. If you have children playing in your clover, sooner or later one of them will encounter a bee. Murphy's Law of Stings states that the child who will have the worst reaction to the sting is the most likely to get stung.

You just need to call your lawn care guy... THat's his job, if he doesn't take care of it then it's time for a new guy..

They only like the 4 leaf clovers which are rare.

Another vote for Weed-B-Gone but not if I'm paying someone else to take care of it.

Another vote for the Ortho. It works!

As a former kid that once stepped on a bee in a clover patch in our lawn, I can verify this is true.

I use a product called TRIMEC and have had good luck with it, but if I was hiring a lawn care service like you I would be on the phone in a heart beat telling them to take care of the clover. That's what your paying them for.

I agree here. I would expect things like managing clover would be part of the treatments especially if they're a 'lawn care' service. Are they
a landscape/gardener service or one of those lawn care companies that just treat the lawn with fertilizers every couple months?

I also have used the weed-b-gone products that hook up to a hose and have had great success. Just follow directions, usually
treat a day or two after lawn is mowed, don't water (after treatment) for 24-48hrs, retreat in a couple weeks.

I usually spread scotts weed n feed about a month later, and yes I cut it high, usually one notch below highest notch.

Find an Irish kid. Make sure his grandfather told him about 4 leaf clovers leading to leperchans gold. Turn him loose on the lawn. That's how I found my 4 leaf clover and my grandmother got rid of clover in her yard. I was probably about 8 at the time.

Broad leaf killer

Broad leaf killer 2-4-D:yes: good stuff right there. My father used to work for the ag. extension office in central California where they did all the experimental crops and stuff... he used to get all the left over good stuff from the farmers that was high concentrate.

Aside from the increased # of bees, you might want to keep your clover. See link below.

I take care of Little League fields and we have kids in our league who are allergic to bees. We also don't get the traditional soft clover, it's burr clover.

There is clover and then there is lespandesa(Sp?).

I personally don't mind either one b/c I cut my yard fairly close regularly to keep the flowers off and the bees away.

We are not supposed to have "mow lines" between our yards here is all, plus, if my grass get's much higher, the dam stuff windrows behind my no discharge push "mulch-mower"!!
