What do customers ask about Weed Control?
Common questions and tips from our work with Washington customers.
What should be off the lawn before you spray?
Before any treatment, clear the lawn of hoses, toys, pet bowls and anything else sitting on the grass, since products work best when they reach leaf and soil surfaces directly. Leave the lawn unmowed and dry that day, note spots where pets roam, and point out beds or young trees you would rather have hand-pulled than sprayed. A quick walkthrough with the crew before we start keeps every target clear.
Should I water before or after a weed treatment?
The two treatments ask for opposite care. A pre-emergent forms a barrier in the top layer of soil, so it needs watering in soon after to activate. A post-emergent spray works through the leaves, which means it does best on dry grass with no rain or irrigation for a day or so afterward. We tell you which applies before we leave.
How long does weed control take to show results?
Most broadleaf weeds begin to curl and yellow within a few days of a post-emergent spray, with full die-back commonly taking two to three weeks. Tough customers like spurge or nutgrass often need a second visit. A pre-emergent does its work quietly underground, so the result you notice is simply fewer weeds sprouting weeks later.
What is the difference between pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments?
They solve different problems. A pre-emergent stops seeds as they germinate, timed before soil temperatures climb to about 55°F, which in southern Utah usually lands in late winter or early spring. A post-emergent kills weeds that are already growing, and different formulas target broadleaf weeds versus grassy ones. Choosing correctly matters, because the wrong product wastes a season.
Can I handle weed control myself with regular lawn care?
Spot spraying a lone dandelion is fair homeowner work. Where it gets tricky is identification, since broadleaf and grassy weeds respond to entirely different products, and drift onto flower beds or tree roots can damage plantings you value. A professional covers the whole property, including the easement strip, and knows what each weed calls for.
