Crabgrass

Your best defense against crabgrass is a thick, healthy lawn.

Crabgrass is an annual grass that sprouts in the late spring, especially where there is bare soil, water and sunlight. Mowing crabgrass won’t stop it or slow it down because it grows flat, not upright.

Getting rid of crabgrass is a challenge because it grows spring through fall, producing over 150,000 seeds per plant. The winter cold will kill the crabgrass plants but the seeds remain, ready to sprout in spring.

We believe a pre-emptive approach is the best way to prevent crabgrass from taking over your lawn. We apply a pre-emergent herbicide with fertilizer just as the crabgrass starts to appear in the early spring. This fertilizer helps thicken the turf and squeeze out the crabgrass.
