Rich Green Lawns Introduces a New Nutsedge Control Program in Monmouth & Ocean Counties

If you’ve noticed bright green patches growing faster than the rest of your lawn this summer, you’re likely dealing with nutsedge — one of the most stubborn weeds we see here in Monmouth County and Ocean County, NJ.

At Rich Green Lawns, our lawn experts are excited to introduce a targeted Nutsedge Control Program designed specifically for the soil conditions, irrigation habits, and turf types common across the Jersey Shore region.

Nutsedge isn’t actually a grass — it’s a sedge. That’s why traditional weed control products often don’t eliminate it.

There are two primary types found locally:

Unlike typical weeds, nutsedge spreads through underground tubers (sometimes called “nutlets”). If those aren’t controlled, the weed keeps coming back.

Research from Rutgers University and the Rutgers Center for Turfgrass Science confirms that proper timing and sequential applications are key to long-term suppression — which is exactly how we’ve built this program.

We frequently treat nutsedge in towns throughout:

Our coastal soil composition, heavy clay pockets, irrigation systems, and summer humidity create ideal conditions for nutsedge to thrive.

Our new program is designed for long-term control — not just temporary suppression.

We use professional-grade products proven to control nutsedge while protecting your desirable turfgrass.

Because nutsedge spreads through underground tubers, follow-up treatments are often necessary. Our program is structured to interrupt that growth cycle.

We assess:

Improving turf density is critical to preventing reinfestation.

Our lawn experts understand exactly when nutsedge begins active growth in Monmouth and Ocean Counties — which allows us to apply treatments at peak effectiveness.

If you’re unsure, our team will inspect your lawn and confirm the diagnosis before treatment.

Our goal isn’t just to kill weeds — it’s to build thick, healthy turf that naturally resists future problems.
