\u201cA weed is just a flower growing somewhere it isn\u2019t wanted.\u201d Brian snorted. \u201cMy wife says that all of the time, but she also complains if the yard\u2019s full of crab grass. I spend most of the summer pulling weeds but it just keeps coming back. What can I do to have my lawn weed free next year?\u201d<\/p>\n

Crabgrass is one of the most prevalent and annoying weeds in the Newton area. The issue with crabgrass is its sprawling growth habit \u2013 it stretches out, particularly in patchy lawns with poorly going grass, and quickly overtakes everything else \u2013 and the fact it reproduces extremely fast. One single crabgrass plant that reaches maturity can set seeds for thousands of new crabgrass plants to grow. It is literally impossible to fully eradicate crabgrass by pulling weeds from the ground. To eliminate crabgrass, it must be removed from the lawn before it grows.<\/p>\n

Pre-emergent Weed Control: The Secret of Crabgrass Free Lawns<\/p>\n

The secret of eliminating crabgrass from your lawn is to have your local Newton lawn care company<\/a> perform pre-emergent weed control. This involves using family and pet-safe products to treat the lawn with a herbicide that sinks into the ground and selectively eliminates crabgrass and other broad leaf weeds.<\/p>\n

The advantage of having crabgrass eliminated before it starts to grow is it allows the grass more space to develop healthy roots. With the crabgrass gone, your grass also has less competition for the nutrients and water that\u2019s in the soil. When your Newton lawn care company fertilizes the lawn, your grass will receive more benefits, since the crabgrass won\u2019t be there to siphon off all the good stuff.<\/p>\n

Pre-emergent weed control can happen anytime, but it\u2019s most effective when you have treatments in the fall and spring. It\u2019s best to have this service performed before the ground freezes and snow falls. For more information, call your local lawn service today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
