Frequently Asked
When should I apply pre-emergent?
Pre-emergent herbicide is best applied before weeds germinate. For cool season lawns, pre-emergent herbicide should be applied before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees consecutively to prevent crabgrass and other weeds.
For warm season lawns, pre-emergent herbicide should be applied in the spring before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees and in the fall, typically in September for season long control
I applied pre-emergent too late. Now what?
Unfortunately pre-emergents must be applied before weeds germinate. It is very important to apply pre-emergent early before soil temperatures warm up or before coming into the season. You will see additional weed pressure during the growing months that will need to be attended to.
How long do I need to wait until I can seed?
We recommend waiting at least 3-4 months before seeding can take place. Spot seeding can be done if the soil is agitated and or replaced with new soil.
What makes this pre-emergent better?
50% stabilized nitrogen will supply a continuous feed to your lawn, where most other fertilizers will leech through the soil faster and into the atmosphere before they can be used and not provide a consistent release of nutrients
