Weeds Have No Place On Your Lawn
Weeds detract from your curb appeal and steal nutrients from your grass. Pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments are the solution to keep your Oklahoma lawn completely weed-free all year long.
Weeds steal nutrients from your grass and compete for space, weakening your turf over time. When you equip your lawn with both pre- and post-emergent weed control, you can feel confident that your property in Oklahoma will be completely free of lawn weeds.
What Is Pre-Emergent Weed Control?
Pre-emergent weed control treatments are designed to kill weeds before they sprout and become a headache on your lawn. This herbicide works by creating a protective barrier in your soil that prevents weeds from sprouting. When weed seeds begin to germinate and progress, they will continue to grow and reach a particular layer in the ground where the pre-emergent herbicides sit. The chemicals then interrupt the weeds' growth process and eventually kill them.
How Pre-Emergent Treatments Work
Timing Is Critical
The best time to treat your lawn with pre-emergent herbicides is in the spring before unwanted plants start emerging. When applied too late, weeds may already be breaking through the soil surface.
Multiple Applications May Be Needed
Some weeds have a different life cycle, so your lawn might need another pre-emergent application at another point during the year. A professional lawn care team will know exactly when to apply them.
Paired With Fertilizer
Many professional weed control programs also include fertilizer treatments to supply lawns with essential nutrients, ensuring your grass grows strong and vibrant alongside weed prevention.
Post-Emergent Weed Control & How It Eliminates Existing Weeds
If you already see stubborn weeds on your lawn, you need post-emergent weed control. This treatment is designed to eliminate existing weeds before they take over and crowd out your grass. You might also need to apply post-emergent treatments several times a year, because some weeds are just persistent and relentless and can continue to appear even after you've already treated your lawn.
Pre- & Post-Emergent Treatments Together Keep Your Lawn Weed-Free
Pre-Emergent Protection
Pre-emergent herbicides ensure weeds don't emerge on your property in the first place, so you won't have to deal with them at all.
Post-Emergent Elimination
If some weeds survive pre-emergent treatments, post-emergent herbicides will take over to eliminate those that managed to sprout.
Complete Weed-Free Results
Together, these two treatments work to keep your property free from pesky weeds, so your grass focuses on growing strong and vibrant.
