Q: Are there signs my lawn needs more frequent treatment?

• <div><p>Yellow patches, poor growth, or widespread weeds indicate a need for treatment. Soil testing can confirm nutritional deficiencies that require intervention.</p></div>

Q: How often should you use root killer?

• <div><p>If you have a lot of tree roots in your yard or have experienced issues in the past, you should use tree root killer <b>every six months</b> to prevent roots from infiltrating your pipes. If you have an active invasion and aren&rsquo;t seeing results, check the instructions on the bottle to see how often you can use it in a short period of mine.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when to apply pre-emergent herbicide?

• <div><p>The best time to fight crabgrass with pre-emergent herbicide is when forsythias tend to bloom. In the mid-Atlantic region, this is usually between April and May. Even if you're late to apply the herbicide, it&rsquo;s effective as long as the crabgrass plant has fewer than five leaves.</p></div>

Q: How often should I remove weeds?

• <div><p>Pulling weeds once per month is typically often enough to keep most weeds at bay. But in general, it's best to pull weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent deep root growth and slow their spread. To make it easier, plan your weed pulling after rain or after the sprinklers run so the soil will be nice and wet and the weeds will be easier to pull. If you notice moss accompanying weeds, make a plan to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-of-moss-on-driveway.htm">remove the moss</a> immediately to prevent damage.</p></div>
