Spring is a time of renewal and growth for your lawn in Northeast Georgia, but it's also when weeds start to emerge and take over your lawn. These pesky plants can be a nuisance, stealing nutrients and space from your grass and making your yard look unkempt. Fortunately, there's a solution: pre-emergent weed control. This preventative measure works by creating a barrier in the soil that targets newly germinated weeds, effectively preventing them from ever sprouting in the first place. By applying pre-emergent weed control in the spring, you can minimize the amount of weeds on your lawn during the growing season.

However, it's important to note that pre-emergent weed control won't work on existing weeds or those that were too far along in their growth cycle when the treatment was applied. That's why it's important to follow up with a post-emergent treatment later on to get rid of any remaining weeds.


What is pre-emergent weed control, and how does it work?

Pre-emergent weed control is a preventative measure that is applied to lawns before weeds have a chance to sprout. It works by creating a barrier in the soil that targets and kills newly germinated weeds. This means that the weeds never have a chance to emerge and take over your lawn.

Pre-emergent weed control is typically applied in the early spring before the weeds start sprouting. This is because the product needs to be applied before the weeds start to grow so it can be absorbed by the soil in order to be effective. By applying pre-emergent weed control in the spring, you can get ahead of the weeds and prevent them from ever becoming a problem.


Pre-emergent weed control will help minimize weeds on your lawn as the growing season gets underway.

Pre-emergent weed control is an effective way to minimize the amount of weeds on your lawn as the growing season gets underway. By applying a pre-emergent treatment in the spring, you can prevent weeds from establishing on your lawn, making them a non-issue in the first place. Stopping weeds before they have a chance to establish themselves will help you reduce the overall weed population on your lawn and keep it looking healthy and lush throughout the season.

Suppressing weed growth will also help improve the overall health of your grass. Without weeds to compete with your grass for nutrients, it can maximize available resources for a more vigorous development!

Common weeds in Georgia include dandelions, crabgrass, henbit, and nutsedge.

Make sure you follow up with a post-emergent weed control treatment later on.

While pre-emergent weed control is an effective way to prevent weeds from sprouting, it won't work on existing ones or those that were too far along in their growth cycle when the treatment was applied. That's why it's important to follow up with a post-emergent treatment later on to get rid of any remaining weeds. Post-emergent herbicides are designed to target weeds that have already emerged and are actively growing. By applying a post-emergent treatment, you can eliminate any remaining weeds and keep your lawn looking its best.

It's important to note that not all post-emergent herbicides are created equal. Some are designed to target specific types of weeds, while others are broad-spectrum and can be used on a variety of different ones. It's important to choose the right product for your lawn and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure that you get the best results.
