Weeds are a nuisance for any property owner in New Jersey, as they can be unsightly and steal nutrients from your grass. Because of this, it's important to use weed control treatments during the spring to keep them at bay and set your lawn up for success. You should use pre-emergent treatments to prevent crabgrass from sprouting through the soil and post-emergent weed control to eliminate any existing weeds. In addition to weed control, you should also apply a fertilizer treatment to your lawn in the spring to give it a much-needed boost of nutrients. By combining these treatments, you can ensure that your turf has everything it needs to thrive without any competition from pesky weeds.
Weeds can steal nutrients from your grass, so you need to get rid of them!
Weeds are notorious for stealing nutrients from your grass, which can hinder its growth and overall health. When weeds take over your lawn, they compete with it for essential resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients. This can cause your grass to become weak and thin, making it more susceptible to diseases and pests. To prevent this from happening, you need to get rid of weeds as soon as possible. By doing so, you can ensure that your grass has access to all the resources it needs to thrive.
What type of weed control should you use in the spring?
There are two types of weed control treatments that you should use in the spring: pre-emergent and post-emergent. Pre-emergent crabgrass control treatments work by creating a barrier in the soil that prevents crabgrass from sprouting, which germinates in the spring. This type of treatment is ideal for getting ahead of this troublesome weed before it causes issues, as it is an aggressive spreader and will easily overrun your turf otherwise.
On the other hand, post-emergent weed control treatments are used to eliminate existing weeds. They work by targeting the weed directly and killing it at the root. This type of treatment is ideal for getting rid of any weeds that have already sprouted and are actively stealing vital resources from your grass.
Combine weed control treatments with fertilization to give your lawn a jumpstart in the spring!
In addition to using weed control treatments in the spring, you should combine them with fertilization. Fertilizer treatments provide your lawn with essential nutrients that promote healthy growth and development. By combining these treatments, you can give your lawn a jumpstart in the spring and ensure that it has everything it needs to thrive. The nutrients provided by fertilizers will help your grass grow strong and healthy as it transitions into the new growing season, while the weed control treatments will prevent weeds from stealing those nutrients for themselves.
