The majority of pre-emergents prevent germination for all types of seeds. A newer pre-emergent under the name Tupersan is a selective pre-emergent that can be used at the time of seeding to prevent weed seed germination and allow grass seed germination.

Pre-emergent is best applied after aeration to reduce the chance of weed invasion in the yard while grass is spreading to the cored holes. Do not apply pre-emergent if you intend to over-seed. See similar questions...

Pre-emergent applications put down a microscopic layer on the soil that prevents many seeds from sprouting, including crabgrass. This invisible shield is usually put down in early spring before the soil temperature reaches 60 degrees. It remains active throughout the spring and most of the summer months when the seeds begin to germinate, unless the soil is vigorously raked or dug up. See similar questions...

The treatment usually dries within 2 hours. However, we recommend that you keep children and pets off the lawn for about 12 hours if possible. Avoid mowing the lawn for 24 hours after the treatment and set your mowing height to about 3". Yes! Just let us know and we can apply a special pre-emergent formulation that will allow you to plant grass seed. But we must know ahead of time. See similar questions...

Broadleaf weeds usually take up to 2 weeks to show signs of control. It is only possible to control weeds in the lawn, not eradicate them. Tougher broadleaf weeds may take multiple applications to show results. Broadleaf weeds can only be controlled if they are present and actively growing at the time of application. Fairway Green will use broadleaf weed control with each application when necessary for this reason. See similar questions...

Lightly rake the surface inch of soil to remove dead debris and properly prepare the area for seeding. Select a grass seed that is the same type as already growing in your lawn. Lightly apply seed to the soil surface and gently pack to firm the seed into the soil. Apply a light layer of straw or seeding mulch to encourage rapid seed germination. Water lightly until the seed has fully emerged. Do not apply crabgrass preventer to newly seeded areas of your lawn. See similar questions...

Perennial rye is the best choice for Texas. It isn't truly perennial here due to our intense summer heat. It generally dies away by mid- to late May. Its seed costs more than annual rye, but it more than makes up for it in improved germination and much finer texture (better appearance and much less frequent mowing). Plant the seed at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet in mid-September. Sow half going east-to-west, overlapping with the rest going north-to-south. See similar questions...

Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf. See similar questions...

Prevention is always better than cure. If a Sir Walter lawn is kept in a healthy and well fertilised condition, weed eradication is rarely necessary. If in the rare circumstance weed spray is required, we suggest that you first heavily fertilise when weeds are noticed, followed by at least two mowings in a three-week period. This will usually reduce the problem to a minimum. If spraying is still required, there are several herbicides that can be used. See similar questions...

Answer: We follow City Code on this issue. The Parks and Recreation Department takes calls from concerned individuals about grass that is over 1' tall or weeds that are on a property that has not been properly maintained. A certified letter is sent to both the property owner and the occupant. A timeline is given for the situation to be remedied. If it is not, the Parks staff or a private contractor mows the area and the property owner is billed accordingly. Refer to City Code link http://city. See similar questions...

No, you must either kill weeds first and then wait 3-4 weeks to seed, or seed first and then wait until the new seed has germinated and been mowed at least twice (about six weeks) before applying a broadleaf weed killer. See similar questions...

You have to understand that pre-emergent weed control will only get the weed seeds that have not germinated yet and that most pre-emergents do not last an entire growing season. Pre-emergents are greatly affected by the amount of rainfall and water your lawn receives. See similar questions...

In a flowerbed, a weed might be a misplaced plug of grass. For a wheat farmer, a weed may be a patch of yellow mustard. Since The Forest Service’s mission is “caring for the land and serving people,” our weeds are those plants that harm our natural resources or the people who enjoy them. See similar questions...
