- To prevent crabgrass & grassburs, apply pre-emergent now before weed seeds germinate (“emerge”). Do this ASAP, ideally before mid-late March as germination peaks. Earlier applications generally have best results.
- Scalp your lawn to remove winter-killed stubble & common broadleafed weeds, like henbit (scalloped leaves with purple flowers).
- Remove winter damage from shrubs, vines & groundcovers to clean them up before new growth starts.
- Remove & replace plantings that were killed or damaged beyond repair in the cold North Texas winter.
- Prune & reshape spring-flowering shrubs & vines immediately after blooming to correct erratic growth & keep them tidy.
- Fertilize flowerbeds, groundcover beds, & lawns with high-nitrogen fertilizer to provide nutrients to fuel the burst of spring growth.
- Apply broadleafed weedkiller spray to control non-grassy weeds like clover, dandelions, & chickweed.
- Aerate lawns to allow water & fertilizer to penetrate built-up thatch into soil. Read our blog for more information on the aeration process.
