 Ugly Summer Weedscrabgrass_finger_298x198.jpg crabgrass_finger_298x198.jpgcrabgrass_finger_298x198.jpg

  

 Summer has finally reached Kansas City and you can expect crabgrass to spread likecrabgrass_finger_298x198.jpg wild fire for the rest of this season. It is the old good news, bad news scenario. The good news is the early summer rains sure kept the grass green. The bad news is when the lawn looks fabulous sometimes people will forget to apply the second application of PREVENT crabgrass pre-emergent with fertilizer.

Those heavy rains in early summer along with the suns ultraviolet rays can weaken the longevity of all pre-emergent. Crabgrass and foxtail get a second chance and thrive in the high temperatures of late July and August. If you forgot your second application you may be sorry. But fear not, we can still help you control those nasty weeds. Just come on down and start today.
