Pre-emergent weed control in Kennewick
One week the grass looks fine, the next there is crabgrass everywhere. A pre-emergent treatment keeps weed seeds from sprouting, and the timing matters more than the product.
How pre-emergent works
Pre-emergent does not kill weeds you can already see. It works below the surface, creating a barrier in the soil that stops seeds from germinating. Done on time, crabgrass, foxtail and dandelions never get the chance to grow.
Apply too early and the product wears off before the weeds start. Apply too late and they are established. For crabgrass, germination begins when soil temperatures reach 50 to 55 degrees, and an adult plant can drop 10,000 seeds in a season, so prevention is the whole game.

Kennewick pre-emergent questions
When should it go down?
Spring and fall are the key windows in Kennewick, and the exact timing depends on the weeds being targeted.
Will it hurt my lawn?
Applied correctly, it only affects weed seed germination.
How long does it last?
Usually several months. Many lawns do well with a spring and a fall application.
