Most people tend to think that weeds appear overnight. That's because we typically don't notice them until they are full grown and flourishing in our lawns in the spring. One thing we need to know is that for most weeds it typically takes months to reach maturity from the time the seeds germinate. That means that those big, nasty, flourishing weeds that we see in April have been actively growing in your lawn since February, and the seeds have been present long before that.Every single lawn in North Texas, no matter what type of lawn, has thousands of seeds just waiting to germinate. That is why it is so important to get your pre emergent put down right now. Pre emergents will kill these seeds before they have a chance to germinate. Once the conditions are right and these seeds start to germinate, pre emergents will no longer be effective. You will then have to deal with the weeds with a post emergent as the pop up, which is a never ending battle!Now is the time to get this done, the window of opportunity is small. Get your product, mark your calendar, and get your pre emergent put down!
