As temperatures begin to rise across Nashville, Franklin, and the surrounding Tennessee areas, your lawn is waking up, and so are the weeds.
Spring warmth triggers aggressive weed germination, especially summer annual weeds like crabgrass and broadleaf varieties. The key to stopping them? Pre-emergent turf care. But timing is everything, and right now, the window is closing.
Pre-emergent herbicide works by forming a protective barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from sprouting. Once weeds break through the soil surface, it’s too late for pre-emergent. At that point, you’re in damage-control mode instead of prevention.
In Middle Tennessee, soil temperatures typically reach the critical germination zone quickly once consistent warm days arrive. If applications aren’t made in time, weeds can establish deep root systems that compete with your turf for nutrients, sunlight, and water.
The result?
Thin, stressed grass and a lawn that struggles all season long.
Proactive treatment now protects your investment, strengthens turf density, and sets the stage for a healthy summer lawn.
