Springtime always brings a welcome change of pace for most homeowners in Arkansas—but it’s also accompanied by spring weeds. From thistle to dallisgrass, purslane, and dandelions, the sight of these plants can inspire dread. But there’s an easier way to deal with springtime weeds—and an expert lawn weed control service in Alexander can help.
At Lawn Doctor of Benton-Bryant, we offer a wide range of expert strategies and treatment options to keep your outdoors green, thriving, and weed-free. One of those options is pre-emergent treatment. Let’s take a look.
All About Pre-Emergent Treatment in Alexander
Pre-emergent treatment is a powerful preventative option for your lawn. In Arkansas, these treatments can start as early as January, although it may depend on weather conditions. Let’s review some common questions we’re asked about this treatment:
- How does it work? Pre-emergent treatment is applied to the ground early in the season. Application includes a watering process, which allows pre-emergents to seep into the earth. Then, when new plants try to produce seedlings, they come into contact with pre-emergents in the topsoil. The active ingredients in this treatment will keep invasive species from producing growth, effectively stopping them before they get to the surface.
- What kind of plants does it address? When it comes to weeds, these plant species can spread via seed dispersal or by branching roots known as rhizomes. Because of how pre-emergents work, they work against germinating plant species instead of rhizomes. In Alexander, that still covers a lot of common plants like purslane, dandelion, spurge, and of course, crabgrass.
- Why does timing matter? Because pre-emergents are preventative, treatment must be applied before plants start growing, not after. Of course, different types of plants have very specific germinating schedules, which is where a lawn weed control service can help. Our team can identify specific types of invasive plants, time treatment schedules for impact, and offer other services to help your property thrive.
