When spring comes around, homeowners everywhere start looking out for new seasonal weeds. That’s especially true in Weatherford, where incursions from unwanted plants are a year-round concern. At Lawn Doctor of Granbury-Burleson, our lawn weed control service can get rid of crabgrass and other culprits before they’ve even surfaced.
We accomplish this through pre-emergent treatment services. Here’s how these crucial treatments work.
What To Know About Pre-Emergents in Weatherford
Weeds are fast-growing, and they can seem like an unstoppable threat to your lawn. One crabgrass plant alone can produce 150,000 seeds in its life cycle! But pre-emergents stop these and other grassy plants before they’ve gotten started. Here’s a quick overview of how pre-emergents work:
- They need to be applied early. In Weatherford, the weather warms up early. The soil warms up faster in Texas than in many other states, creating the right conditions for grassy summer plants like nutsedge and ryegrass to start growing. Pre-emergents must be applied before these weeds start creeping up. That means, ideally, your property should be treated in early spring or even late winter.
- They have to be watered in. Pre-emergents must get absorbed into the soil in order for them to work. They need to be watered in, allowing them to permeate the first few inches of the ground. That way, when new growth tries to surface, it’ll be easily stopped by pre-emergent products in the soil. Fortunately, a good lawn weed control service can take care of all aspects of treatment.
- You’ll need more than one treatment. Texas has year-round weeds, with specific varieties that surface in early spring and early fall. You’ll want targeted treatments for both winter and summer invasive species. These treatments will depend on your turfgrass conditions and the types of weeds you see annually. Your lawn care experts can personalize treatments based on these details, setting up a schedule for services as well.
