Crabgrass
Early spring is the time to help prevent the possibility crabgrass in your lawn. Once the soil temperature reaches 55, crabgrass will begin to germinate. Once germination has taken place, there is very little that can be done to prevent it from growing. The best defense against crabgrass is a thick, healthy lawn. Thin areas of grass and edges (along sidewalks, driveways, and streets) are hot spots for crabgrass. It can be very diffi cult to keep out this nuisance grass in these areas.
Our first two applications in the spring contain pre-emergent for crabgrass control. Sometimes with mild winters, there can be a bigger problem with weeds and crabgrass in spring and summer. We suggest getting round 1 and round 2 to help as much as possible from having a crabgrass problem.
*Note: Again, the best defense against crabgrass is a thick lawn. Weather conditions, such as amount of rainfall and temperatures play a huge role in the amount of crabgrass that emerges or that can be controlled. Mother Nature becomes the biggest factor, as is the case with many other lawn issues.
