How Do Lawn Fertilizers with Weed Control Work?

These products combine pre-emergent herbicides with nutrient-rich fertilizers. Pre-emergents create a barrier in the soil that stops weed seeds from germinating, while the fertilizer provides vital nutrients to encourage strong, healthy grass growth. The result is a lawn that not only looks great but is also less susceptible to weed invasion.

Key Benefits

• Weed prevention: Target a variety of common weeds, including crabgrass, dandelions, and clover, before they appear.
• Healthier grass: Balanced fertilization strengthens your lawn, making it more competitive against weeds and environmental stressors.
• Time and effort savings: You streamline your lawn care routine by combining weed control and fertilization in one product.

When and How to Apply

• Timing: Apply early in the growing season when soil temperatures reach around 50–55°F. Depending on your region, this is typically in late winter or early spring.
• Application: Use a broadcast spreader for even coverage, and water the lawn lightly after application to activate the herbicide.
• Frequency: Reapply as needed, following the product’s recommended schedule, usually every 6–8 weeks.
