Tell me \u2013 what am I doing wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crabgrass is a Tough Enemy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your goal is a beautiful, weed-free lawn, crabgrass can be a mighty foe. As a <a href=\"\/southshore-ma\/\">lawn service in West Bridgewater<\/a>, we\u2019ve delved deeply into the science of crabgrass. We understand why this plant grows where it does, how it spreads so quickly, and why it doesn\u2019t matter how much weed pulling you do \u2013 it\u2019s impossible to get ahead of crabgrass.<\/p>\n<p>First things first. Why is crabgrass in your lawn? Crabgrass is in your lawn because your lawn contains exactly the right growing conditions necessary for its healthy development. Crabgrass isn\u2019t picky. If your lawn has an area where the soil isn\u2019t overly nutritious, or is perhaps a little compacted, or maybe there\u2019s rocks or too much shade \u2013 crabgrass will start to grow.\u00a0 And if you have great soil, the crabgrass will grow even faster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does Crabgrass Spread So Fast?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Crabgrass spread all comes down to a numbers game. One single solitary mature crabgrass plant can develop and spread over a thousand seeds, all by itself. Each one of those seeds can grow into a mature crabgrass plant, which can then develop and spread another thousand seeds. This growth habit does an excellent job of helping crabgrass take over your yard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the Best Way to Fight Crabgrass?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We admire your determination and enthusiasm that has you out there every day pulling every visible crabgrass plant out of your yard. We really do. But as a <a href=\"\/southshore-ma\/\">professional West Bridgewater lawn service<\/a>, we need to tell you that the only way to stop crabgrass from happening is to eliminate it in the ground before it grows. This\u00a0 means pre-emergent weed control \u2013 a treatment that stops crabgrass growth below the surface of the soil.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever looked into permanent hair removal solutions, you\u2019ve seen the diagrams of how hair is eliminated all the way down into the follicle so you can have silky smooth skin. Pre-emergent weed control is basically the same idea, except for crabgrass. It\u2019s simple and it works. Why not give it a try?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI know great lawns don\u2019t just happen,\u201d Diane said. \u201cI\u2019m willing to do the work.
