How to Remove Dandelions
- 1). Walk through your yard to locate any growing dandelions that are sprouting out of the ground.
- 2). Grip the dandelion by the base of the stem as close to the ground as you can. If the dandelion is very close to the soil with the spreading leaves, work your fingers under the leaves to get to the stem underneath.
- 3). Pull the stem up and out of the ground as gently as possible to ensure you pull the entire root out of the soil. If the dandelion breaks off and leaves part of the root in the ground, the dandelion will quickly grow back.
- 4). Dig the dandelion out of the ground with a hand shovel if you are having difficulty pulling it by hand.
- 5). Spray any stubborn dandelions with an acetic acid-based weed killer. Follow all instructions on the packaging to avoid killing the grass accidentally.
