  • Killing Crabgrass before seeding new lawn

    First I would like to say that I am a home owner that's just looking for the best lawn info. if this isn't a web site that I should be using then please tell me & I will move on. Thanks

    That being said I bought a house & the back yard is full of crabgrass. I rototiller it last year & the crabgrass in deep. Well this year I would like to put in a new lawn. So how do I get rid of the crabgrass. Its so bad its hard to use a rototiller in it. So I want to kill everything & start from scratch.

    Thanks for any help you may offer.

    Here are some tips for getting rid of Crab Grass:
    1) Kill all the existing crabgrass.
    2) Replant bare lawn spots with new grass seed.
    3) Remove dead crabgrass plants.
    4) Restrict excess fertilizing or too-frequent watering.
    5) Keep your lawn healthy as the most conducive way to get rid of crabgrass.


    These were some tips for crabgrass removal. Lawn care is not so easy, one has to look after all the requirements and maintain the lawn. Having a yard or a lawn needs pest control services. My uncle calls
    Exterminators Lincoln CA for pest control services of his lawn.

      In addition to treating your lawn with a pre-emergent herbicide, there are a few lawn maintenance practices that can help keep your lawn crabgrass-free. The healthier your lawn is, the less susceptible it is to crabgrass and other weeds. A thick, healthy lawn will reduce weed growth and make it easier to treat weeds that do sprout.
      • Watering Practices: water lawn deeply once per week to encourage deep grass root system
      • Mow High: Keeping your grass in the optimal growing range will help shade the soil, making it harder for weeds to get the sunlight they need to grow.
      • Reduce Compaction - weeds thrive in compacted soil, aerate to loosen compacted soil
