You might have already started seeing us around as we visit to apply our first round of pre-emergent for cool season weed control. This application will keep your lawns a beautiful, even beige as we treat for broad leaf weeds like henbit, dandelion, and thistle. We’ll also be treating for grassy weeds like winter rye, poa annua, and rescuegrass.

Is It Time To Scalp Your Lawn?

Not yet! This Winter has been unseasonably warm and that has meant that many plants have started budding and sprouting already. Your lawn might have even started showing signs of greening up, but if you can, wait to scalp your lawn. North Texas  is known to get freezes as late as mid-March and removing all that winter coat too early leaves your young, new grass exposed to possible cold damage and weeds.

What If I Already Started Mowing?

If you’ve already started your summer mowing regimen, don’t worry! Our first round application is heavily focused on pre-emergent to help keep any weeds that might be trying to take advantage at bay. As the warmer weather becomes more stable, we’ll be working more fertilizer in our applications to help fill out your incoming summer lawn.

Summer Weed Control

Summer is quickly approaching and that means it’s time to start planning for summer weed control and fertilization. Round 3 will see us applying a granular fertilization and treating for weeds that love heat and moisture, like nutgrass. If you are starting to see nutgrass or any other weeds showing up, please don’t hesitate to give us a call so we can make sure to treat them when we stop by!

This early warm weather has also meant that one of our most stubborn and problematic weeds has gotten an early start. Dallisgrass is a very common problem in North Texas and can often require extra applications to fully eliminate from your lawn. As part of Round 3, we’ll be treating for this problematic weed, but if your lawn has a high amount of Dallisgrass, we will contact you directly to talk about any additional treatments that might be needed to make sure your lawn is as healthy as it can be.

Our Best Tool For a Healthy Lawn

As always, we’ll leave directions for any follow up lawn care steps and we look forward to helping to keep your lawn simply greener.
