Setting the Foundation for Year-round Weed Control

• Objective: The primary focus is on controlling existing winter weeds and preventing new ones, establishing a foundation for year-round weed control and a healthier lawn.

• Post-Emergent Herbicide: This herbicide targets weeds that have already sprouted and eliminates existing weeds, which is critical in maintaining a weed-free lawn during winter.

Round 2: Early Season Awakening (March – End of April)

Kickstarting Your Lawn’s Spring Revival

• Objective: This phase revitalizes your lawn as it emerges from winter dormancy, targeting emerging weeds, especially crabgrass, and providing essential nutrients for spring growth.
