Mow tall
Grass kept at 3 to 4 inches shades the soil, which is the single best way to keep crabgrass from sprouting.
Lawn, flower beds and hard surfaces kept clean of weeds all season long.
Weed control works in two ways: stopping weeds before they sprout (pre-emergent) and treating weeds that are already growing (post-emergent). The best results come from timing both correctly and keeping the lawn thick, so weeds have nowhere to go.
Your plan covers weeds in the lawn, in flower and shrub beds, and in the cracks of walkways, patios and driveways, so the whole property looks cared for.
Every step, so you know what you’re getting and why it’s done that way.
Applied when soil warms to about 55°F, usually early to mid April here (when the forsythia blooms). It stops crabgrass seeds from establishing.
Dandelions, clover, plantain and other broadleaf weeds are treated where they appear, instead of blanket-spraying the whole lawn.
Weeds in beds and in walkway, patio and driveway cracks are pulled or treated during visits.
Fall is the best time to knock out perennial broadleaf weeds, because they pull the treatment down into their roots as they store energy for winter.
Handled during regular visits by a trained crew member, with targeted spot treatments and hand-pulling in beds.
Simple things you can do between visits, including how and when to water.
Grass kept at 3 to 4 inches shades the soil, which is the single best way to keep crabgrass from sprouting.
Broadleaf weeds take 7 to 14 days to curl and die after treatment. Avoid mowing for a day before and after a weed treatment.
After a spring pre-emergent, avoid digging, raking hard or aerating the treated lawn, which breaks the barrier.
New grass seed and pre-emergent don’t mix, which is why overseeding is done in early fall.
Weed Control is part of every Full Season Plan, along with the other services your lawn needs from March to December, for one set season price.
See the Full Season PlanUsually early to mid April, before soil reaches about 55°F for several days. Too early and it wears off; too late and the crabgrass has already sprouted.
Thin spots and short mowing give weed seeds light and space. Weed control works best combined with proper mowing height, fertilization and overseeding, which is why they’re all in the same plan.
Not with most pre-emergents, which also stop grass seed from sprouting. That’s why we time pre-emergent in spring and overseeding in early fall.
Yes: lawn, beds and hard surfaces are all covered in the Full Season Plan.
