If weeds overtake your property, they can really drag down its overall curb appeal. To prevent that from happening, you should utilize pre-emergent weed control treatments. Pre-emergent weed control is a highly effective herbicide that prevents weeds from sprouting, which means they won't be visible above the surface of your lawn. In Arizona, it should be applied twice a year: once in March and again in July. Applying it in March will help prevent spring weeds from taking over your lawn while applying it in July will stop summer weeds from doing so. Both applications are crucial to maintaining a healthy, weed-free lawn. For best results, it's best to hire professionals to apply these weed control treatments because they will know how to apply the treatments effectively and will use products that have been proven to produce exceptional results. Continue reading this blog to learn more about what pre-emergent weed control is and when you should apply it.

What is pre-emergent weed control and how does it work?

Pre-emergent weed control is an herbicide used to prevent weeds from emerging on your lawn and causing problems. This type of weed control works by creating a barrier between the soil and the surface, preventing germinated weed seeds from breaking through the soil and establishing themselves. When applied correctly and at the right time, it can drastically reduce the amount of weeds that will sprout on your lawn.

When should you apply pre-emergent weed control?

In order for pre-emergent weed control to be effective, it needs to be applied before any weeds have emerged on your lawn. That's because it acts as a protective barrier, stopping them from surfacing and spreading. So, you should apply it once in March and once in July. The March application will protect your lawn from spring weeds, while the July application will keep summer weeds from overtaking it. By following this schedule, you can ensure that it never falls victim to these pesky plants!

Some common weeds that are found in Arizona include desert broom, bur clover, London rocket, spurge, purslane, and more!
