- Target Different Weeds: Different weeds germinate and grow at various times. Multiple applications target both early and late-emerging weeds.
- Pre-emergent Protection: Preemergent herbicides prevent weed seeds from germinating, offering proactive control.
- Protect Lawn Health: Weeds compete with grass for nutrients. Regular control ensures your grass gets what it needs.
- Aesthetic Appeal: A weed-free lawn looks cleaner and is more visually appealing.
- Prevent Seed Spread: Controlling weeds before they seed prevents future infestations.
Weed Control Schedule:
- Early Spring: Apply preemergent to target early germinating weeds and prevent their spread.
- Late Spring/Early Summer: Address any late spring weeds, prepare for summer varieties, and consider a second preemergent application for late-emerging weeds.
- Late Summer: Control heat-loving weeds that thrive in high temperatures.
- Early Fall: Apply another round of preemergent to prepare the lawn for winter and target late-season weeds.
Post-Weed Control Application Care:
- Water: Depending on the product used, you might need to water the lawn to activate the weed control, especially preemergents. Follow specific product recommendations.
- Pets and Children: Keep them off the lawn for 24 hours post-application for safety.
- Mowing: Wait at least 24-48 hours after the weed control application before mowing.
- Foot Traffic: Limit for the first 24 hours to ensure even application and absorption.
