The Pre-Emergent Strike

Pre-emergent applications offer a proactive and highly effective approach to weed control, stopping weeds before they even have a chance to sprout. Applied in early spring, these herbicides create a protective barrier in the soil, preventing weed seeds from germinating—especially common annual grassy weeds like crabgrass and foxtail.

Timing is key! Apply pre-emergent herbicides when soil temperatures reach around 55°F, as this is when weed seeds begin to germinate. Keep in mind that pre-emergents do not kill existing weeds, so be sure to start with a weed-free lawn.For best results, always follow product label instructions to avoid harming desirable plants. By integrating pre-emergent treatments into your lawn care routine, you’ll effectively minimize weed infestations and enjoy a lush, healthy lawn all season long!
