Springtime brings a lot of wonderful things each year, but it also means invasive plants start cropping up on your property. For homeowners in Patchogue, it’s always good to be prepared. With an expert lawn weed control service, you won’t have to fret about unwanted springtime growth this year.
Curbing invasive plant growth is just one part of lawn maintenance, but it’s crucial. Keeping unwanted growth away means your grass plants don’t have to compete for resources and nutrients, and have the chance to flourish. Spring is the perfect time for pre-emergent treatment, so let’s look at what that entails.
Keeping Springtime Weeds Away in Patchogue
At Lawn Doctor of Bayport-Sayville, we offer pre-emergent treatments in addition to lawn care and maintenance. We get a lot of questions about this treatment method. Here are the answers to a few common ones:
- What types of weeds do they address? Different pre-emergent products work well against different species of invasive plants. That said, you can address a wide variety of broadleaf and grassy plants with this treatment strategy, including crabgrass, bluegrass, dandelions, and clover.
- How do pre-emergents actually work? The short answer is that pre-emergents create a barrier beneath the soil, preventing any new growth from emerging. The longer answer is that the active ingredient within a pre-emergent product will deactivate enzyme production in germinating plants. This stops cell division, which makes it impossible for seeds to produce growth.
- When should these treatments happen? Earlier is often better when it comes to pre-emergent treatment, but it varies from yard to yard. In Patchogue, crabgrass and dandelion prevention should occur before the weather gets too warm, ideally in March or even April. Your lawn weed control service can always time these treatments to get results.
- Why pre-emergents, not post-emergents? Both pre-emergent and post-emergent care are often incorporated into lawn care, so it’s not an either-or proposition. Some plants respond better to pre-emergents than to post-emergent treatments. This prevention strategy also reduces the amount of new seeds in your yard for powerful long-term effects.
