Crabgrass has been around for centuries — it’s unclear how it got its name, but some believe it’s because it originally grew in salt marshes, and crabs fed on it. Or it could be because of its crooked, crab-like form. But everyone can agree that crabgrass has been a thorn in the side of property owners for years. When it comes to eliminating this noxious weed, the struggle is real — crabgrass is an annual, and each plant produces up to 150,000 seeds. Most of those seeds germinate for the following spring, and those that don’t can remain viable and germinate in future years. What should you do to win the battle with crabgrass?
Some folks try mowing, but crabgrass is a determined little weed, and can set seed even when cut as low as ½” — much lower than the recommended mowing height for a healthy lawn. To get rid of crabgrass, you need to treat your lawn with a pre-emergent herbicide, which will stop the seed germination and root development of crabgrass before it starts. But beware: this same herbicide can also prevent the germination and growth of your grass.
Luckily, TPS has the solution. Our 7-step Premiere Turf Care Program includes a treatment with a pre-emergent herbicide, which will take care of that pesky crabgrass problem. And our lawn experts know exactly how to apply it without affecting your grass, leaving your lawn lush and green.
