How To Get Rid Of Clover In Lawn
Clover is a common lawn weed that can spread quickly. It can be difficult to control because it roots deeply, making it easy for regrowth to occur. Clover does not have any known pests or diseases that affect humans or animals, and it won’t cause significant damage to your home’s foundation or landscaping if left unattended. However, clover in lawn grass is unsightly and can be harmful when ingested by animals such as horses, goats or cows due to increased levels of nitrates in their urine from consuming large quantities of clover plants over time.#
Kill clover
The first thing to do is determine what type of clover you have. There are several types of clovers, and each requires a different treatment plan. Some treatments can be applied directly to your lawn, while others need to be applied by a pro. The most effective way to eliminate clover from your lawn is to use a combination of pre-emergent, post-emergent and non-selective herbicides.
It’s important not only that you know how much money you’ll spend on weed killers but also that you understand how long they’ll last (and whether they need reapplication). While there isn’t one single method for getting rid of weeds in general—or even all species of weeds—there are some general guidelines for which ones work best: broadleaf weed killers kill broadleaf plants like dandelions or clover; grassy weed killers get rid of grasses like crabgrass; selective herbicides target specific types of weeds (like grassy ones); systemic herbicides penetrate deep into the roots so they’re more effective at killing off unwanted vegetation
Identify the clover.
Clover is a perennial weed that grows in lawns and other grassy areas. Clover is a legume, which means it has nitrogen-fixing bacteria in its roots. Clover also has hollow stems that allow water to pass through to the root system.
Clover is a cool season plant, meaning it thrives in spring and fall but dies back during summer heat. It’s typically low growing with bright green leaves which turn yellow during dry weather conditions.
Apply herbicide.
Apply herbicide.
You can apply herbicides to get rid of clover in lawns, but you need to be careful that the product is safe for your lawn and has the correct timing. Apply herbicides in spring or fall when temperatures are between 40°F (4°C) and 85°F (29°C). Do not apply if it’s windy or raining. Read the label carefully before applying any herbicide to make sure it’s right for your lawn type and turfgrass species.
Water the grass.

To help your lawn recover from the stress of the herbicide, water it well.
Pull the clover by hand. Take care to remove the whole plant, including roots, to prevent future regrowth.
You may be able to effectively remove clover by hand. Take care to remove the whole plant, including roots, to prevent future regrowth. To do this:
- Before you get started, make sure your soil is moist (not wet) so that it’s easier for you to pull out the clover plants with their roots intact.
- Use a garden fork or shovel to loosen the soil around each individual clover plant—this makes it easier for you to pull them up by hand without breaking off their roots in the process!
- Once you’ve loosened up the soil around each individual clover plant with your garden tool of choice, grab hold of its base with one hand and gently pull upward until all of its leaves are removed from underground as well as any visible portions above ground level which might have been missed during earlier removal attempts using other methods discussed above such as herbicides or pesticides.”
Use a crabgrass killer to kill clover in your lawn. Crabgrass killers are also effective in controlling clover and other broadleaf weeds. For best results, apply after mowing when weeds are fully leafed out and actively growing.

Hand pull or spot treat areas with vinegar to kill clover naturally. Spray or apply vinegar directly to small areas of clover on your lawn. Vinegar is effective at killing any type of plant, including clover in lawn grass, but it is not very selective and should only be used as a spot treatment. Apply full-strength vinegar when no rain is expected for at least 24 hours after application. Repeat application may be necessary if the plant is not entirely dead after the first application. Soak each plant thoroughly to ensure that enough vinegar reaches the root system to kill the plant completely.
Vinegar is not selective, so it will kill any type of plant. The best time to apply full-strength vinegar is when no rain is expected for at least 24 hours after application. Repeat application may be necessary if the plant is not entirely dead after the first application. Soak each plant thoroughly to ensure that enough vinegar reaches the root system to kill the plant completely
Trim off flowers from any remaining clover plants before they go to seed so that new plants won’t grow from seeds dispersed by birds and wind.
When clover plants go to seed, they can produce hundreds to thousands of seeds. These seeds are small and easily carried by wind or birds. The best way to prevent new clover plants from growing is by removing the flowers before they go to seed.
If you allow your clover plants to flower and then go to seed, you will have a hard time getting rid of them since new plants will grow every year.
So, that’s how to get rid of clover in your lawn. If you follow these steps, you should be able to eliminate the problem for good!
