Sandspurs, also known as sandburs, are a common grassy weed in Palm Beach County with spiked seed pods that can be quite painful to humans and pets when stepped on. These nuisance weeds thrive in the sandy, dry soil of South Florida. Sandspur weeds tend to resemble normal grass in the early stages of development until they sprout their infamous spiked seed pod and are very difficult to remove once they become mature.
A pre-emergent herbicide is the best way to control future sandspur infestations in your West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington or Jupiter lawn. A pre-emergent herbicide will reduce the number of seeds that can grow into future sandspur weeds. In fact you can probably kill two birds with one stone and use the same pre-emergent herbicide on crabgrass because they are both in the same grassy weed family
