Why You Should Mark Mid-March on Your Calendar for Pre Emergent Weed Control

March 9, 2020 By Tim Boyd

For effective weed control, early spring is a critical time for a pre emergent weed control application. In fact, spring often involves a flurry of activity for those who are truly serious about their lawn care regimen. Depending on what type of turf is growing in your yard, some combination of fertilization, weed control, pre emergent weed control, and lime application may be necessary to help your lawn come in green and lush.

What Every Yard Needs Each Spring

Even though the timing and frequency of these applications may vary based on grass type, one thing all lawns need for a healthy, free of weeds start is a springtime pre emergent weed control application. This one step will help to ensure the success of everything else you do this year to help your lawn grow beautifully. So, keep reading to learn why you should mark mid March on your calendar for a pre emergent weed control appointment.

By mid March, any risk of foul winter weather conditions has passed for the Atlanta area. About that time, homeowners are getting anxious to see their grass green up and thicken. The weather is warming up, and people want to get back outside to enjoy their back yards. While the grass shoots are not quite ready to start a new growth cycle at this point, weed seeds are lurking at the soil surface and just need some water and sunlight to start growing.

This is the exact time when pre emergent weed control is effective. Pre emergent products do nothing to fight weeds that have already grown. These treatments are meant to knock out weeds that are just germinating. But it’s important to remember that weed seeds can lay dormant, where they will remain unfazed by pre emergent products. That’s one reason why weed control is an ongoing process.

Prevent Weeds Now

Preventing weeds from germinating in your lawn makes more resources available for your grass. The more nutrients, water, and sunshine your grass can get in the spring, the greener and thicker it will be throughout its growing season. Plus, preventing weeds from growing past the germination point means you will have to yank fewer weeds by hand. That’s never a bad thing, right?

So, if you’re an Atlanta-area homeowner who’s ready to get serious about lawn care,  call in a lawn care professional. Trained, experienced pros can assess your existing grass and recommend a care plan for your lawn. Hence, weeds, brown patches, thin grass – all of those problems could be history with one simple phone call.
