If you're a property owner in Sarasota, FL, you know just how annoying weeds can be when they overtake your lawn. Weeds will steal nutrients and resources away from your grass, making it more susceptible to pests, diseases, and environmental stressors. Well, instead of trying to play whack-a-mole and continuously pulling weeds from your lawn, you should invest in pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control treatments to keep your lawn weed-free all year long. Pre-emergent weed control treatments will establish a protective barrier that keeps weeds from sprouting on your lawn. However, it's not perfect. Certain weeds like crabgrass can slip by the protective barrier of pre-emergent treatments, which is why you should also invest in post-emergent weed control treatments to eliminate any existing weeds on your lawn. For the best results, you should use pre- and post-emergent weed control throughout the year. By utilizing both treatments, you can bring yourself one step closer to a weed-free lawn!
Pre-emergent weed control will prevent weeds from sprouting.
Pre-emergent weed control plays an important role in keeping your property weed-free. That's because pre-emergent treatments can drastically reduce the number of weeds sprouting in your yard. Pre-emergent weed control treatments should be applied early enough before weeds have a chance to pop up on your lawn. The pre-emergent treatment will create a protective barrier that keeps germinating weeds from penetrating your soil. However, pre-emergent isn't the perfect solution to keep weeds off your lawn. There will still be some stubborn weeds that manage to sneak by the barrier it creates, but it'll make weed control much easier for you in the long run as it will keep the number of weeds on your lawn to a minimum.
Post-emergent weed control will take care of any existing weeds.
Post-emergent weed control treatments will target any weeds that manage to show up on your lawn. These can be weeds that either slipped through the barrier of pre-emergent or any other weeds that sprout throughout the year. You should apply post-emergent treatments anytime you notice weeds in your yard to swiftly eliminate them before they steal any more nutrients from your grass!
Fertilizer treatments pair well with weed control because both services work in tandem to ensure your grass receives all the nutrients it needs to thrive.
Utilize both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments to make it easier to control weeds.
You get the best results when you use pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control treatments throughout the year. If you end up using pre-emergent by itself, then it's likely that weeds will slip through. If you decide that you're only using post-emergent treatments on your lawn, then you'll have a lot of weeds to contend with throughout the year, making it much harder to keep them off of your property.
However, utilizing both treatments throughout the year will make it much easier to achieve a weed-free lawn. Pre-emergent weed control will handle most of the weeds on your property before they have the chance to sprout, making it much easier to manage weeds in the long run. This is where post-emergent treatments come in! If you follow up your pre-emergent treatments with post-emergent weed control, you can effectively sweep up any straggling weeds on your lawn.
