Don’t Forget To Schedule Pre-Emergent Weed Control Treatments This Fall
While your lawn faces many enemies, none are quite so persistent as weeds. Weeds are notorious nutrient thieves that also hinder your lawn’s curb appeal. In Arizona, weeds grow all year long due to the relatively mild winters we experience. Fortunately, scheduling pre-emergent weed control treatments in the fall will prevent them from sprouting during the fall and winter seasons! It can also help minimize the number of weeds on your lawn once spring rolls around. Pre-emergent treatments are very effective on weeds that are just beginning to germinate. Still, you should also apply post-emergent treatments to tackle any weeds that have already passed a certain point in their cycle, which permits them to sprout anyway. These treatments will ensure your lawn is weed-free during the fall and winter – and well into the next year!
