NATURAL WEED CONTROL SERVICES
A Major Achievement in Organic Weed Control
In 2010, Organo-Lawn discovered a 100% organic post-emergent weed killer that effectively eliminates weeds in a lawn without harming the grass. After three years of development, One Earth Weed Control was launched in 2013.
This all-organic weed control represented a significant breakthrough in the organic lawn care industry, as it was the first product capable of killing weeds after they had started growing, achieving this within 48 hours of application.
What once seemed impossible became a reality!
Previously, when starting with a severely weed-infested lawn, it would take us 3 to 5 years to reclaim it using only organic products. Now, we can transform even the most weed-infested lawns into beautiful, weed-free environments in approximately one season’s worth of treatments. Since the introduction of One Earth Weed Control, our business has experienced tremendous growth.

Specialty Weed Control Options
Bindweed and Crabgrass Control
Drive XLR8 is a wonderful weed control for crabgrass and bindweed in lawns. Not every lawn will develop a crabgrass or bindweed problem, but if it does then we can control the weed problem quickly.
Crabgrass is an annual grassy weed that will grow in lawns that are being mowed too short or in areas of the lawn that are thin and drought-stressed. Young crabgrass will start to show up in Colorado lawns around the middle of June through early July. We have found that a specialty weed control called Drive XLR8 will control the crabgrass in a lawn quickly and it won’t harm the desirable grasses.
Bindweed is a major problem in lawns in Colorado and Drive XLR8 is the best bindweed killer available. Bindweed is a vine-like weed that typically grows in lawns that are either mildly or severely drought-stressed. A good way to prevent bindweed from coming back in the future is to make sure the lawn is being watered properly according to the principles of the 1-2-3-2-1 lawn watering technique. If a lawn is infested with bindweed we recommend an application of Drive XLR8 to kill the weed down to the root.
Pasture Land Weed Control
Native Area Weed Control – Weed control for pastures, native grass areas, and meadows. When weeds are a problem in a grass area that isn’t manicured, Milestone is an excellent weed control for these areas. Canada thistle is a major problem in Colorado and our specialty weed killer called Milestone is excellent at controlling Canada thistle and other noxious weeds.

Natural Weed Controls FAQs
What is the Difference Between Organic Weed Control and Natural Weed Control?
While organic and natural weed control are often used interchangeably, they have distinct differences in their approaches, ingredients, and regulatory standards. Organic weed control specifically adheres to certified organic standards, such as those established by organizations like the USDA. These methods use substances that are approved for organic gardening and farming, such as corn gluten meal, lemon and orange peel oil, and other plant-based oils, which are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Organic weed control aims to minimize harm to the ecosystem, including soil health, beneficial insects, and nearby plants, by ensuring that all inputs are free of synthetic chemicals.
On the other hand, natural weed control is a broader category that includes any method derived from naturally occurring materials or processes, regardless of whether they meet organic certification standards. Natural methods can range from using homemade remedies, like boiling water or salt solutions, to employing physical techniques such as mulching, hand-pulling, or flame weeding. While these approaches utilize natural inputs, they do not necessarily adhere to the strict guidelines of organic certification and may sometimes include substances that, while naturally derived, some ingredients could still be harmful to soil, people’s health, or water quality if use improperly. A good example is when people use vinegar to control weeds. Even though vinegar is naturally occurring, it can cause severe skin and eye damage if use improperly.
The main difference lies in regulation and intent: organic weed control is part of a holistic system with strict rules to maintain sustainability and ecosystem balance, while natural weed control focuses on convenience and availability, prioritizing the use of non-synthetic solutions. Gardeners and landscapers choosing between the two should consider their long-term goals for soil health, environmental impact, and whether strict adherence to organic certification is necessary for their needs.
