When the warmer temperatures of spring arrive in Texas, it's time to ensure your grass can emerge from winter dormancy in good shape. One of the most important things you should never forget in the spring is weed control. Skipping out on weed control treatments in the spring can lead to an overgrowth of weeds on your lawn, which can make it look messy and negatively affect your curb appeal. Weeds will also steal nutrients from your grass and can make it more vulnerable to stressors! To ensure these unwanted plants don't take over your turf, use pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments in the spring.

Weeds Can Take Over Your Lawn & Drag Down Your Curb Appeal Without Spring Weed Control

If you skip out on weed control treatments in the spring, weeds can easily take over your lawn. A weed-ridden lawn looks messy and poorly maintained, and this can affect how the rest of your property looks! Make sure you schedule a weed control treatment in the spring so these stubborn plants don't have the chance to grow amongst your lawn's vibrantly green grass blades. When left to their own devices, weeds will eventually make your yard an eyesore and drag down your property's curb appeal. You want to get weeds off your turf to maintain its neat and lush appearance and keep it from looking run down.

Weeds will steal nutrients and resources from your grass if you skip weed control in the spring.

Weeds are your lawn's enemy when it comes to nutrients. These unwanted plants will steal nutrients and other essential resources from your grass, making it weaker and more vulnerable. Weed control treatments are a necessity in the spring so your lawn can maximize available nutrients in the soil and from fertilizer treatments without competing with weeds. If you skip out on them, weeds will continue to benefit from any fertilizers you apply to your lawn. They can also easily outcompete your grass for essential resources. Without enough of these vital nutrients, your lawn will be in poor health and can easily succumb to diseases and insect infestations.

What type of weed control should you use in the spring?

When applying weed control treatments, you'll want to do it right so your lawn can get good results from them. That's why you'll want to use pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments in the spring.

  • Pre-emergent treatments keep weeds from emerging on your lawn. They coat the soil and keep newly germinated weeds from sprouting when they come into contact with them. This will prevent the weeds from getting access to sunlight, which they need to grow. Applying this treatment will help you get ahead of spring and summer weeds so that your lawn can start the new growing season on the right foot!
  • Post-emergent treatments target weeds that are already on your turf. This type of treatment is applied directly to any existing growth to eliminate them. This way, they don't hinder its health as it tries to emerge from winter dormancy.

Pair your weed control with fertilizer treatments so your lawn receives nutrients that will nurture its health without having to compete with weeds.
