Prevent Weeds Before They Become a Problem

Have you spent hours pulling weeds by hand or spraying weed killers repeatedly with little success? Pre-emergent weed control is the lawn care solution that can save you time and improve the appearance of your lawn.

What Is Pre-Emergent Weed Control?

A pre-emergent herbicide targets weeds at their earliest stage of growth—before they even sprout. Here’s how it works:

  • Creates a chemical barrier to prevent weed germination.
  • Does not harm existing plants or turfgrass.
  • Breaks down after six to eight weeks, requiring proper timing for reapplication.

When Should Pre-Emergent Weed Control Be Applied?

Timing is critical for effective pre-emergent weed control.

  • Before Germination: Apply pre-emergents before the targeted weed seeds germinate.
  • Early Season: February is an ideal time to apply pre-emergent treatments, as it works best before early spring germination.
  • Multiple Applications: For stubborn annual weeds, apply pre-emergent herbicides twice:
    1. At the start of spring.
    2. After turf has been verticut.

Benefits of Pre-Emergent Weed Control

  • Prevents Weeds: Targets weeds before they become visible, reducing manual labor and improving lawn health.
  • Seasonal Protection: Keeps your lawn looking its best throughout the growing season.
  • Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for repeated weed removal efforts later.
