With a stiff broom remove all sand from the lawn surface. A blower may also be used. Best to do this when it is dry. The sand, of course, is left from snowplows and in most cases contained salt when spread. It is vitally important to do this first step to curtail possible weed problems down the line.

Pre-Emergent Weed Control
Tired of trying to learn about herbicides? Which ones work for which weeds and at what cost? Which ones are safe for the environment? When should they be applied? How will they affect landscaping and ornamental shrubs?

The single most important weed control treatment for your lawn is a "pre-emergent." This is a treatment applied before the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees - and before the weeds have a chance to start growing.

We recommend and use a high quality product called Dimension. Dimension offers our clients the control of crabgrass and other tough weeds, doesn't stain walks, drives or fences, doesn't wash away, lasts longer, doesn't harm flowers or shrubs and requires less product to treat same area. The benefits of Dimension clearly outweigh the risks of other products for the person who is concerned about the environment and wants to control weeds.
