Pre-Emergent-
Post-Emergent-
Fertilizer-
Spot Spray-
A pre-emergent herbicide prevents weed seeds from germinating by forming a chemical barrier near the soil surface. Applied before weeds appear, it stops seedlings early, reducing competition with desired plants. It's key for managing annual grassy and broadleaf weeds.
Post-emergent herbicides control weeds after they emerge by targeting vital processes like photosynthesis and cell division. Applied to weed foliage, they are absorbed and distributed systemically, preserving desirable plants while eliminating weeds. Used in lawns, gardens, and farms, they help maintain weed-free areas after weed growth begins.
This includes spring and fall applications- targeting seed germination for differing plants in their prime time for growth
Regular fertilization supplies essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, promoting healthy grass growth, better color, density, and turf quality. It strengthens roots, improves stress tolerance, aids recovery, and helps maintain a thick, resilient lawn that resists weeds, pests, and diseases.
While many refer to “weed & feed” as a typical application. It is best for your lawn to be fed by fertilizer and treated separately for weeds through pre/post-emergent.
Grub-Treatment-
Grub worm treatment kills beetle larvae in soil that harm grass roots, preventing brown patches and lawn decline. Unlike fertilization, which nourishes grass, grub control targets pests to protect turf. For best results, treat fertilization and grub control separately, not combined with weed control, for effective lawn care.
Spot spraying targets and eliminates existing weeds early, preventing spread and protecting turfgrass. It uses less herbicide by focusing only on weed areas, minimizing harm to grass. This method controls above-ground weeds, unlike grub worm treatment which targets soil pests. For best lawn health, spot spraying, grub worm control, and fertilization should be done separately.
