Beat the weeds at their own game It’s coming, and probably sooner than you think, with the month of March entering like a lion but scampering away like a lamb. Mild weather will usher you back to your outdoor spaces, and when that happens, it’s the perfect time to start the spring yard cleanup and prepare your plants and lawns for the peak growing season. Realtor.com’s Gemma Johnstone reminds us to tidy flowerbeds, prune shrubs, divide perennials, and rake lawns, as they’re all obvious eyesores. “Some tasks are less obvious, but neglecting to do them can result in long-term landscaping problems,” she says. Johnstone turned to professional agronomist Marc Mayer for tips. He says there’s one spring lawn care mistake he wants us to avoid. “Overlooking appropriate weed control measures can be the difference between cultivating a lush lawn and one that’s thin, brown and overrun,” he advises. “Failing to apply a pre-emergent weed treatment to your lawn can cause major issues down the line. Fast-growing weeds compete with your grass for nutrients, water, and space. This competition can smother the grass, disrupt its growth, and leave your lawn looking patchy and unhealthy.” Pre-emergent herbicide, used at the right time, prevents broadleaf weed seeds from germinating and establishing roots. “This leads to the weed not being able to absorb nutrients and stops all growth,” Mayer says. Use of pre-emergent herbicides in spring means applying the treatment before the soil hits 55°F to 60°F, according to Mayer. “This will help you get ahead of warm-season weeds before they start growing and establish roots, reducing their populations during the growing season.” Timing? That depends on your location and USDA hardiness zone, but the window is usually between late February and mid-March. Reach out for more!
