Can I rake after the crabgrass prevention application of fertilizer and weed control has been applied?
Crabgrass control forms a barrier along the soil to prevent the crabgrass seed from germinating. If the barrier is scratched (by raking), it may be broken and the crabgrass can then germinate. For optimal results, it is best to rake before the crabgrass preventer is applied. However, if you use us for your lawn care (fertilizing and weed control) we offer post-emergent treatments throughout the season. This is included in our 5 visit Premier and Classic package, but can also be added by upgrading your package at any time.
