Weeds are a common threat to local lawns, and they can be extremely tricky plants to fight off on your own. That’s where our team of industry experts comes in. However, there’s more than one way to control weeds. A type of weed control that’s often overlooked is pre-emergent treatment. Below, we’ll take a closer look at this important lawn maintenance process and how we use pre-emergent services to bring healthier lawns to our neighbors located all over the Summit, NJ area.
Pre-Emergent Weed Control 101
Pre-emergent weed control is a process that specifically targets weeds that have yet to break through the surface of your yard. Because these weeds are still underground, using the same treatments used on post-emergent weeds (weeds that have already popped up through the soil’s surface) simply won’t work. The pre-emergent products we use at Lawn Doctor of Bridgewater utilize a different approach to penetrate into your soil and eliminate weeds without also damaging your grass.
This step is an important part of maintaining a healthy, attractive lawn simply because it’s a great prevention tool. While pre-emergent weed control won’t immediately change the appearance of your yard, it will prevent weeds from germinating and popping up through your lawn’s surface, helping keep weed activity down through the seasons. With regular treatments, you’ll have fewer weeds appearing in your home’s outdoor spaces, making your lawn’s overall maintenance easier.
But when should you utilize pre-emergent weed control? The short answer is always. Regularly applying pre-emergent weed treatments as a preventative tool doesn’t have to be limited to a certain season. In fact, using it year-round can save you a lot of grief when it comes to dealing with active weed infestations, especially in the spring.
