Sedge weeds are unwanted tall plants that can grow up to 4 feet tall! These nuisance weeds love shallow water and the moist Palm Beach County Florida soil and grow year-round. Unlike broadleaf weeds, sedge weeds, or sedge grass as they are sometimes called, actually have a bladed grass-like appearance. Like other weeds, sedge weeds compete for nutrients and try to push out the turf-grass of your lawn. Left untreated sedge weeds can quickly take over your West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington or Jupiter lawn killing your sod grass in the process. Getting rid of ugly sedge weeds doesn’t just add curb appeal to your Palm Beach Gardens or Jupiter home. Some HOAs and towns will fine you for having a weed-ridden lawn.

Are Sand Spurs Sedge Weeds?
Sand spurs, also known as Cenchrus tribuloides, are not sedge weeds. However this is one of the most of the most common misidentifications. Sand spurs fall into the grassy weed category and there is an array of different varieties that thrive in sandy soil. If you’ve lived in Palm Beach County long enough, you know the pain of stepping on a cluster of sand spurs. These pesky grassy weeds can survive through all different types of weather including drought and compete with your lawn’s sod grass for valuable nutrients.
How to Get Rid of Sedge Weeds
