Pre-emergent weed control creates a protective barrier so weed seeds like crabgrass cannot germinate, but timing is everything. I apply it before soil temperatures reach germination levels, which is why we monitor conditions here in Colorado. Once weeds sprout, pre-emergent will not stop them, so I focus on a proactive program with an early season application and a second fall application for winter seeds. No action is requested, but think of it as insurance for your turf.
