Winter Weed Control - Fall Pre-emergent Application

It's almost that time again - to put down a pre-emergent for winter weeds which will germinate over the next few months and then come busting up through your lawn during winter and next spring.

When to do so has typically been passed down as early September, but it is more effective if one pays attention to soil temperatures and we are nowhere near that point yet.

We will be monitoring this over the next several weeks to schedule the proper time-frame.

We are going to apply pre-emergent (including potash - potassium) in the coming weeks at the following rates:



Lawn (not property) Square Footage

Up to 8,000...$50.00, refer a nearby friend or neighbor*...$40.00
8 to 12,000....$60.00, refer a nearby friend or neighbor*...$50.00

* Refer a friend or neighbor who lives within four miles of you who commits to having their lawn treated and both of you receive $10.00 off.

The great thing about referring a neighbor, specifically an adjacent neighbor, is that if their lawn is less likely to have weeds, then so is yours, and vice versa.

Treatment will only be applied to lawns and over-broadcasting on to man-made surfaces will be blown or swept back on to lawn.

Property owner should water their entire lawn for at least thirty minutes or the equivalent of 1/2 inch of rainfall as soon after application as possible. This will help activate the product and also allow it to settle, not to be carried off your lawn, where it doesn't belong. So, please don't over-water so that you have a flow of water beyond the borders of your lawn.

And, please be advised, weeds are usually not the cause of an unhealthy lawn, but rather, unhealthy lawns (such as lack of or improper watering, mowing too short, unfertile, over-fertilized or unbalanced pH soil, wrong turfgrass selection) allow such un-wanteds to occur.

If you believe your property may be over 8,000 square feet, please measure it by walking off the area, subtracting plant beds, man-made surfaces and obviously, not including your home. The average adult stride is 3 feet. If you understood the first day of Geometry class, you can do this.
