How to Treat and Prevent Crabgrass

If you haven’t already, now is the time to apply Lawn Treatment #2 to control crabgrass and other summertime weeds. Crabgrass is very unsightly and can quickly overtake your lawn.  Crabgrass spreads through seeding so the best way to keep it from continuing its spread is to prevent its seeds from ever developing into sprouts. As it continues to grow, crabgrass will put out runners that take over new areas.  Crabgrass stands out the most several days after mowing because it grows quicker than most grasses, creating clumps.

The best prevention for crabgrass is a thick, healthy lawn.  With proper fertilization and lawn treatments, a lush, healthy lawn can be achieved.
