If you're tired of battling pesky weeds year after year, the best solution is to utilize pre-emergent weed control treatments. Pre-emergent weed control is a highly effective method of ensuring your lawn in Texas stays weed-free all year, as it will create a barrier between the soil and the surface, preventing these pesky plants from sprouting. That way, you won't have to apply nearly as many post-emergents because there will be fewer weeds popping up, saving you time, money, and effort! However, timing is essential with these treatments and should be applied in the late winter, early spring, and fall to ensure you can get ahead of weeds and get the best results for your lawn.
How does pre-emergent weed control work?
Pre-emergent weed control treatments are highly effective at preventing weeds from sprouting through the soil. This blanket treatment is applied over your entire lawn, creating a barrier between the soil and surface that keeps them from having a chance to steal nutrients, space, and resources from your grass.
However, it's important to note that pre-emergent weed control is only effective against weeds at a certain point in their growth cycle. Once they pass that point, these treatments won't stop them from surfacing and showing their ugly heads. They also can't be used to eliminate existing growth on your lawn.
Why is pre-emergent weed control a worthwhile investment?
Pre-emergent weed control is a worthwhile investment if you want to maintain a healthy, weed-free lawn. One of the most significant advantages of these treatments is that they greatly reduce the need for post-emergents. With pre-emergent weed control, you can stop most weeds from sprouting in the first place, as long as it's applied at the right time, rather than trying to eradicate them after they've already grown. This means you won't need to spend as much time and money on weed control throughout the year, plus all the effort it takes to repeatedly apply post-emergents just to stay on top of them, which happens without pre-emergents!
Common weeds in Texas include henbit, nutsedge, dandelions, dallisgrass, and more.
When should pre-emergent weed control be applied?
While pre-emergent weed control is highly effective, timing is essential when administering the treatments, as you want to ensure you do ahead of a certain point in the weed growth cycle. So, you should apply it in the late winter, early spring, and fall. When you follow this schedule, you can provide your lawn with maximum protection against weeds.
Late winter is an ideal time to apply pre-emergent weed control because the treatments have enough time to establish in the soil ahead of spring weeds. That way, it saves you the trouble of dealing with them later in the season and keeps your lawn weed-free in preparation for the new growing season.
Early spring is another critical time to apply pre-emergent weed control because it'll help to prevent summer weeds from causing problems. This is important because summer is already stressful on your turf, so you want to ensure it has complete access to nutrients and resources rather than competing with weeds.
Fall is the next time to apply pre-emergent weed control because it targets and prevents winter weeds, keeping your lawn free of these pesky plants during dormancy. It'll also provide protection until the next application in the late winter.
