Spring coincides with the emergence of new invasive plant species in Huntingdon. It’s when you’ll start seeing new growth from clover, yarrow, dandelion, and plenty of other culprits. An expert lawn weed control service can help you keep these plants away.
At Lawn Doctor of The North Shore, we offer comprehensive strategies for preventing and treating invasive growth. One of those strategies is pre-emergent care. Let’s review what that is.
How Pre-Emergents Deliver Results in Huntingdon
Many weeds are good at growing quickly and densely, which is why pre-emergent treatment can be so powerful. Even before these unwanted plants occur, they get halted by pre-emergents in the soil. Let’s review how these treatments can offer results:
- They work below the surface. Pre-emergents block new growth, which is why they must be applied before new weeds germinate. Once applied, these products soak into the ground within an inch or two of topsoil. There, they prevent new unwanted seedlings from ever reaching the surface.
- They must be timed to germination schedules. Because of how they work, pre-emergents must always be timed to the germination schedules of specific weeds. Crabgrass and dandelion prevention should occur in early spring, before the ground has a chance to warm up—but different weeds have their own cycles, which is why identification is always important to weed control.
- They address many common weeds. Pre-emergents can’t address every type of weed, because not all weeds germinate. Some spread via rhizomes, which are tiny branching roots in the soil. That said, for properties in Huntingdon, this prevention strategy addresses many common species, including crabgrass, clover, ragweed, and dandelion.
- They give your lawn a chance. Your grass needs nutrients from the soil, sunlight, and water to grow. When invasive plant species grow, they can choke out your turf. Pre-emergents help your lawn have a chance to grow healthier and denser. A good lawn weed control service will have other strategies to revive turf, too.
