Backyard Weed Control
Jun 22, 2026
To control weeds around your home and farm, apply both pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments. Pre-emergent weed control is designed to prevent weed growth before weeds sprout. It should be applied twice in the spring, once in late summer, and once in the fall — so four times throughout the year. Post-emergent weed control targets those weeds that still seem to come through the soil even after pre-emergent treatment. Apply post-emergent control as needed throughout the growing season regularly from spring to fall.
A good recommendation is to combine these treatments with a fertilizer application to ensure that your lawn is free of weeds and can receive all the nutrients from the fertilizer without competing against the weeds for the nutrients. Great results can be achieved by following this weed control schedule and pairing the treatments with fertilizer applications.
