Pre-Emergent Weed Control Is an Absolute Must in the Spring!

Weeds are a nuisance to many property owners, and for a good reason - they are an eyesore, steal nutrients from your grass, and can even cause damage to your lawn. That's why you must use pre-emergent weed control treatments in the spring to get ahead of these invasive plants! Pre-emergent weed control is a type of weed control treatment designed to stop newly germinated weeds from sprouting on your lawn in Tennessee. It works by coating the soil with a protective barrier that keeps weed seedlings from breaking through the soil surface and becoming your lawn's competition for nutrients.

Pre-emergent weed control treatments are especially helpful in the spring because most lawn weeds start to grow during this season. The treatment is your lawn's way of getting ahead of them! Throughout the growing season, you'll want to pair your pre-emergent treatments with post-emergent weed control, which will tackle existing weeds that are already in your lawn. Incorporating both in your lawn care routine allows you to achieve a healthy, weed-free lawn.

Pre-emergent weed control minimizes the amount of weeds during the growing season.

One of the biggest benefits of pre-emergent weed control is that it helps keep weeds off your lawn for healthier and more uniform grass. It minimizes the amount of weeds growing on your turf as the growing season gets underway by suppressing weeds early in the season.

Pre-emergent treatments help ensure your lawn is not riddled with weeds in the spring and summer, when conditions are stressful for your grass. What's more, because your lawn won't have to compete with weeds for resources, it will be able to focus all of its energy on growing strong and healthy, allowing it to reach its full potential!

Combine pre-emergent weed control with post-emergent treatments for a weed-free lawn!

While pre-emergent weed control treatments are very effective, they won't stop all weeds from appearing on your lawn. That's why you should combine your spring pre-emergent treatments with post-emergent weed control for a weed-free lawn! Post-emergent treatments are designed to eliminate existing weeds on your lawn. Combining both of these treatments targets weeds at both ends of their life cycle for effective weed control!
