Crabgrass Control Service

Crabgrass Treatment

Crabgrass isn’t just a weed—it’s a relentless invader that can quickly take over your lawn if left unchecked. A single crabgrass plant can unleash up to 150,000 seeds, many of which can remain dormant in the soil for years, waiting for the perfect conditions to sprout. These seeds travel easily, hitching rides on the wind, animals, and even your shoes. This makes crabgrass one of the toughest lawn weeds to control.

Why Is Crabgrass So Hard to Eliminate?

Crabgrass doesn’t just spread rapidly—it can also release toxins that suppress the growth of healthy grass, creating weak spots in your lawn. Once it breaks through the soil, it becomes incredibly difficult to remove without damaging your turf. That’s why the key to effective crabgrass control is prevention.

Optimal Timing For Pre-Emergent Application

Timing is key for crabgrass prevention. Apply pre-emergent herbicides at the right time for the best results. Soil temperature is key. Apply pre-emergent herbicides when soil temperatures are around 55°F and stay there for four days. Around 80% of crabgrass will sprout, for example, when soil is 60-70°F.

How Our Crabgrass Control Service Works

At Turf Pro, we take a proactive approach to crabgrass prevention by applying a specialized crabgrass pre-emergent treatment that forms a protective barrier at the soil’s surface. This stops crabgrass seeds from germinating, reducing outbreaks before they even begin. A thicker, healthier lawn naturally enhances this protection, so we also focus on improving overall turf health through proper lawn fertilization and maintenance.

The Right Lawn Care Strategy Makes All the Difference

Crabgrass also thrives due to improper mowing and watering practices, poor soil health, and excessively hot surfaces. If you’ve battled crabgrass before, we’ll diagnose the root causes and create a lawn care strategy tailored to your yard’s needs.

With our comprehensive crabgrass control program and fertilizer service, we’re committed to helping you achieve a lush, weed-free lawn that stays strong season after season.
