As the weather warms up, so does the soil—and that means it’s just a matter of time before weeds start shooting up from the ground. But pre-emergent treatment can keep them from ever sprouting. For homeowners in Bristol, a good lawn weed control service can offer a comprehensive strategy for keeping your property weed-free. Often, that’ll include pre-emergent treatment.
Let’s take a closer look.
Preventative Treatments for Bristol Area Lawns
Annual and perennial grassy plants can get out of hand fast. Crabgrass alone can release thousands and thousands of seeds throughout the season. Pre-emergents are crucial to preventing outsized growth. Here’s what you should know about them:
- They must be applied early. In Bristol, the ideal time to apply pre-emergent treatments is in the spring, around March. You’ll want them in the ground before soil temperatures reach above 50 degrees. Earlier is better than later. Your professional lawn weed control service can handle treatment, making sure the product is applied evenly and that it’s watered into the soil for impact.
- They’re preventative. It’s important to know that pre-emergents are always designed to be preventative. They work by getting absorbed into the soil, where they essentially form a protective barrier against any seedling growth. If you’re already spotting sedge or crabgrass, it may be too late. That said, different weeds begin germinating at different times of year, so it’s always a good idea to speak to your experts.
- Different products may be needed. Like most weed control products, pre-emergents have an active ingredient that targets specific plants. Different active ingredients have different levels of impact on specific invasive plant species. A professional team can keep you from guessing. Our technicians can identify weeds by species and select pre-emergents that will keep these plants out of your yard.
