Pre-Emergent Weed Control Is Crucial for Your Lawn as We Head Into Winter Thursday, October 06, 2022

Although your lawn will face many challenges throughout the year, persistent weeds can be one of the worst problems that you'll have to deal with. Weeds are notorious for stealing essential nutrients from your grass and can affect the curb appeal of your property. The most common weeds in Georgia can grow throughout the year and can be a worrisome issue for property owners heading into the winter. But that doesn't mean there isn't a solution! No matter what type of grass you have, cool season or warm season, applying pre-emergent weed control before winter is crucial for your lawn. This type of weed control is a blanket of protection that prevents weeds from sprouting to the surface and will stop winter weeds from overtaking your lawn. What's more, pre-emergent weed control will make your life so much easier once spring arrives because you won't be starting out the spring with a bunch of weeds on your lawn. Applying this weed control treatment in the fall will help your lawn be prepared for the winter months ahead and keep pesky weeds from overtaking your lawn!

Pre-emergent weed control will stop winter weeds.

A pre-emergent weed control treatment is designed to prevent newly germinated weeds from sprouting through the soil. This treatment involves spraying an herbicide across your lawn which creates a barrier on your lawn that weeds are not able to penetrate. Weeds germinate throughout the fall and winter before sprouting in the early spring, so using pre-emergent weed control treatments will prevent the most common winter weeds from sprouting. This type of treatment will ensure that your lawn will be one step ahead of any weeds throughout the winter season.

Crabgrass, dandelions, clover, and Poa annua are some of the most common weeds that are found in Georgia.

Applying pre-emergent weed control before winter arrives will make your life easier in the spring.

Your lawn can struggle during the winter, and troublesome weeds can make it even harder for it to be healthy and attractive come spring. The number of weeds that emerge on your lawn in the spring can be decreased with pre-emergent weed control. You won't have to deal with a lawn covered in weeds to begin the spring, which will significantly make your life easier. With the help of this weed control treatment, you won't have to worry about weeds stealing nutrients from your lawn over the winter and your grass should be able to bounce back quicker when spring arrives.

When should pre-emergent weed control be applied?

The fall is the perfect season to apply a pre-emergent weed control treatment. That's because here in Georgia weeds can sprout in the winter, taking over your lawn at a time when it will be vulnerable. However, by applying a pre-emergent weed control treatment in the fall, you can help prevent winter weeds from sprouting and taking over your lawn! So, once spring arrives, you won't have to worry about dealing with a lawn filled with weeds.
