These tricky weeds can be tough to spot and get rid of\u00a0for Raleigh, NC homeowners, despite your best lawn weed control efforts,\u00a0because they look so similar to your actual lawn. In addition,\u00a0once you notice a little crabgrass, more is likely to come and spread since this weed tends to grow quickly.<\/p>\n<p>What is the best<strong><a href=\"\/raleigh-nc\/lawn-care-local\/weed-control\/\"> lawn weed control<\/a> <\/strong>game plan? Lawn Doctor of North Raleigh has the answers you need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be careful with hand removal. <\/strong>If you have a few areas of crabgrass in your lawn, you might think that removing them by hand will eradicate the problem. Think again. One single crabgrass\u00a0weed can leave behind\u00a0thousands of seeds in your soil that will germinate the following spring. So even if you get rid of existing plants now, you&#8217;re likely going to be dealing with crabgrass again come next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on pre-emergent treatment in the spring. <\/strong>When it comes to crabgrass \u2013 and really any type of weed \u2013 it&#8217;s best to treat them under the surface of the soil, before they sprout up and continue growing deeper roots. At this point, they&#8217;re at their most vulnerable and treatments are therefore most effective. That&#8217;s why a pre-emergent herbicide works best.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s too late for this year, next year you can apply a pre-emergent before crabgrass starts emerging from your lawn. Seeds germinate when soil temperatures reach around 55 to 60 degrees. That means in\u00a0the local, Raleigh climate, early March is generally a good time to treat your lawn and get crabgrass weeds under control before they start to grow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This year, use a pre-emergent product. <\/strong>Even though you can&#8217;t use a pre-emergent product on already-growing crabgrass, that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to wait until next year to treat weeds. You can apply a post-emergent herbicide, as well, to get an existing crabgrass infestation under control.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bring in the Lawn Weed Control Experts at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of North Raleigh<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather leave the work to lawn weed control professionals \u2013 with localized knowledge and experience \u2013 call in Lawn Doctor of North Raleigh.
