As your lawn in Tennessee emerges from winter dormancy and transitions into spring, you'll want to ensure it starts the new growing season on the right foot. Unfortunately, weeds threaten that by stealing nutrients and other resources from your grass. That's where weed control treatments come in! You'll want to utilize pre- and post-emergents, as the former will prevent new weeds from surfacing while the latter eliminates existing growth. Without weeds causing problems, your lawn can access everything it needs to thrive. In addition to weed control, you should also fertilize it in the spring to give it a kickstart with vital nutrients.

Weeds will cause problems for your lawn in the spring, so you'll want to get rid of them.

After being dormant during the challenging winter season, your lawn will emerge ready for new growth in the spring. However, just as it's the season of rebirth for your grass, the same goes for pesky weeds. Weeds will take any opportunity to overrun your turf, stealing vital nutrients and other resources away for themselves, thus hindering its ability to get in tip-top shape again. Rather than let these pesky plants cause problems, you'll want to get rid of them so your lawn can access everything it needs to succeed at the start of the new growing season!

What type of weed control should you use in the spring?

There are two types of weed control you'll want to use in the spring: pre-emergent and post-emergent. Pre-emergent weed control is applied across your lawn and absorbed into the soil, creating a barrier that blocks newly germinated weeds from reaching the resources they need to grow further. Without this access, they'll die before they ever have a chance to surface and cause problems.

On the other hand, post-emergent treatments target weeds that have already sprouted and are actively stealing nutrients from your grass. They're applied directly onto existing growth so that it seeps into the ground and kills it at its roots. By utilizing both types of weed control in the spring, you can cover both ends of the weed growth cycle and ensure your lawn stays weed-free.

For the best results, you should apply pre- and post-emergent weed control twice, once in early spring and again in late spring.

Pair Weed Control With Fertilization Treatments in the Spring to Give Your Grass a Kickstart

Weed control is essential for helping your lawn start the spring season on the right foot, but it'll also likely need nutrients to emerge from winter dormancy successfully. Because of this, you'll want to pair weed control with fertilization treatments in the spring! Fertilizing your grass will give it a kickstart by providing much-needed nourishment, which aids in a quicker green-up and bolsters new, healthy growth. While it does this, weed control applications will ensure weeds don't have a chance to steal those nutrients for themselves, allowing your lawn to maximize what it receives and thrive!
