We have resodded our lawn. Do we need to treat the turf with a pre-emergence crab grass control?
Crab grass stops growing and germinating during the cooler fall and winter. Also, using a pre-emergence control product with new turf can inhibit the rooting. It’s best to delay the crab-grass control until mid-February when the weather is warm enough again for the seeds to begin growth. If green crab grass is noted in the new lawn, it’s best to hand-dig or spot-kill the weed and add sod.
