Fall pre-emergent season is here at Vista Lawn and Pest! Just as a reminder of what this critical application does for your Midlothian, Prosper, or Waxahachie lawn—it's more than just fall and winter weed control.
Most people associate the fall pre-emergent with fall and winter weeds, and they would be correct—but it does more than that.
The fall pre-emergent prevents your fall and winter weeds, but it also prevents your early spring weeds from emerging.
Here's the key insight: All of those weeds that take over lawns in March, April, and even May actually germinated over the winter months. So when you see a lawn that is full of weeds in March or April, it's likely because they missed the fall pre-emergent.
What fall pre-emergent prevents:
The germination timeline:
Without fall pre-emergent, those seeds germinate all winter long, and by spring, you're fighting an established weed population instead of preventing germination.
When you see a North Texas lawn covered in weeds in March or April, it's not because spring weeds just appeared—it's because fall prevention was skipped.
