The spring season is a beautiful time of the year here in Texas as your plants and grass will emerge from winter dormancy and start growing again. However, plants and grass aren't the only things that start growing in the spring, weeds do too! That's why it's important to invest in pre-emergent weed control treatments in the spring. This type of weed control treatment is designed to prevent weeds from sprouting through the soil, which will help minimize the number of weeds that will emerge on your lawn as the growing season gets underway. However, there will still likely be some weeds that pop up on your lawn even after a pre-emergent treatment, which is why you should also apply a post-emergent weed control treatment to your lawn. By combining these two treatments, you can enjoy a weed-free lawn this spring!

What is pre-emergent weed control and how does it work?

Pre-emergent weed control is an important treatment that is designed to prevent newly germinated weeds from sprouting through the soil. When this treatment is applied to a lawn, it will form a preventative barrier in the soil that weeds will have trouble penetrating. When a newly germinated weed tries to breach the surface of your lawn, it will come into contact with the pre-emergent barrier and be unable to get through it. Because of this, it won't be able to access the resources it needs and will wither and die underground!

Pre-emergent weed control treatments will minimize the amount of weeds that pop up on your lawn during the spring.

If weeds pop up on your lawn in the spring, they can drag down the curb appeal of your property and steal nutrients and resources from your plants. That's why it's so important to invest in pre-emergent weed control treatments in the spring. Because these treatments are highly effective at preventing weeds from popping up on your lawn, they will drastically minimize the amount of weeds you'll have to deal with as the growing season gets underway.

Some common weeds that pop up on lawns in Texas include dandelions, chickweed, henbit, clover, and more.

Combine pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments to achieve a weed-free lawn this spring!

While pre-emergent weed control treatments are effective at preventing many weeds from sprouting, they probably won't work on all of them. That's because these types of treatments don't work on weeds that were already too far along in their growth cycle when the treatments were applied. It also doesn't work on weeds that have already sprouted. That's where post-emergent weed control treatments come in. These types of treatments are applied directly to existing weeds to eliminate them from your yard. By utilizing both of these weed control treatments during the spring season, you can keep your property free of weeds and give your grass full access to the nutrients and resources it needs to thrive!
