Crabgrass
|
Crabgrass is a controllable annual grass weed. Applying a pre-emergent in the spring will suppress most crabgrass. Total control is impossible: up to 80% 1st year; 80-90% 2nd year; and 90-95% 3rd year (under normal conditions). Allowing the lawn to dry out ruins the crabgrass barrier. Raking or disturbing the soil ruins the barrier. Mow the lawn at 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 inches. Crabgrass seeds are photosensitive and need light to germinate. Bare areas are almost impossible to keep free of crabgrass, also hot areas, along street, sidewalk and driveways. |

Quackgrass
|
Quack grass is an invasive perennial grass weed. This is no selective weed control for Quack grass, therefore making eradication and control difficult. Fertilawn's approach to controlling Quack grass is to "choke it out". Implementing a structured lawn care program and maintaining proper cultural practices will develop a thick healthy turf environment, which will ward off unwanted Quack grass. |
