Pre-Emergent Treatments

Stopping weeds before they sprout keeps your maintenance tasks minimal throughout the season. Our pre-emergent applications target crabgrass, one of the most common problems in Indiana lawns, before it becomes visible or widespread.

Treatments go down in early spring and create a barrier that keeps weed seeds from taking hold and spreading. We apply the product during the key window before germination begins, so it stops problems before they take root.

That timing gives your turf a better chance to grow strong and even without interruptions from fast-spreading weeds. For best results, we recommend keeping pets and people off the lawn for 24 hours after application to allow the product to fully absorb.

Post-Emergent Treatments

When weeds show up later in the season, we treat them with spot-spraying to quickly eliminate them without harming the hard-to-grow grass. Post-emergent treatments target broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover that sneak in after your lawn establishes and begin to spread. These weeds can show up fast, especially after rain or mowing, and we handle them quickly and effectively.

Our crew walks the lawn, checks for problem areas, and applies treatment where needed so the rest of the lawn stays untouched. By treating only the affected areas, we avoid unnecessary spraying and support healthy turf that's already thriving. To make sure the treatment properly absorbs and is effective, keep kids and pets off the lawn for 24 hours after treatment so everything sets correctly.

FAQs

Can I water my lawn after a weed control treatment?

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after treatment before watering. This allows the product to fully absorb and makes sure the application works as intended.

Do I need to mow before or after treatment?

It’s best to mow 1–2 days before a scheduled treatment. Waiting a few days after allows the product to settle and reach the root sytem of weeds.

Will the treatment affect nearby flowers or garden beds?

Our applications are precise and targeted only at turf weeds. We avoid flower beds and ornamental plantings to prevent unintended effects.

How often should I schedule weed control treatments?

Most lawns benefit from a combination of pre- and post-emergent applications throughout the growing season. We’ll build a schedule that fits the needs of your property.

What happens if it rains after a treatment?

Light rain a few hours after application typically won’t affect results. If heavy rain occurs immediately after, we’ll evaluate whether a follow-up is necessary.
