Can Crabgrass Destroy Your Lawn?

Like an army of “evil-doers,” crabgrass can transform a once soft, supple lawn into an itchy, weed-ridden mess. While the best crabgrass prevention may help to maintain a thick, green lawn, sometimes an infestation cannot be completely avoided. Once crabgrass begins to emerge, it’s imperative to tackle the problem before it spreads and becomes a larger issue.

At the first sight of crabgrass, take the following steps:

• Corn gluten meal is a pre emergent fertilizer to help control the seedlings before they germinate.
• You will require several applications to build up enough active agents in the soil to act like a pre emergent element.
• If crabgrass returns in the summer, the only method is going to be to hand cultivate.
• Grass should be left longer in the summer to encourage strong turf
• Hand-weed light infestations.
• Moisten the area and hand cultivate the infested area to be successful and pull out the entire root

Since some application methods can kill your lawn, leave crabgrass control to the Toronto professionals at Weed-A-Way. We attack crabgrass infestation before germination occurs, allowing you to avoid costly applications and re-seeding or sodding your lawn.
