We Offer Pre-Emergent & Post-Emergent Weed Control
Are you wondering how pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides differ? We get how confusing all the treatment options can be! Fortunately, the experts at our weed control company are here to recommend the exact herbicide you need.
We will suggest pre-emergent applications to prevent weed seeds from germinating and post-emergent treatments to target actively growing weeds, eliminating them after they have sprouted. In some cases, we may encourage investing in a comprehensive weed control service (which involves a combination of both applications) for optimal results.
How a Weed Control Program Works
Effective weed control requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond merely removing visible weeds. That’s why we develop a strategic maintenance plan that addresses the main reasons your yard is affected by weeds. Our process involves:
- Assessment: Our experienced technicians will conduct a thorough assessment of your lawn to identify the types of weeds present and the extent of the infestation. We can help you treat annual and perennial weeds.
- Customized Treatment: Based on the assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan that targets the specific weeds plaguing your lawn. Our environmentally friendly solutions are tailored to provide maximum efficacy while minimizing the impact on your surroundings.
- Regular Maintenance: After getting rid of any existing weeds, our team will create a schedule for routine lawn treatments to prevent the recurrence of weeds and promote the overall health of your lawn.
How to Control Crabgrass
Crabgrass is a common and resilient weed that can quickly take over your lawn if not properly addressed. Our specialized crabgrass control services focus on preventing the germination and growth of this grass-like weed. We utilize pre-emergent herbicides that create a barrier, preventing crabgrass seeds from sprouting and establishing themselves in your lawn.
What to Do About Broadleaf Weeds
Broadleaf weeds, with their distinct and often large leaves, can be particularly stubborn. Our broadleaf weed control services for properties in Hazleton, PA, target these intruders with precision. We use selective herbicides that effectively eliminate broadleaf weeds while sparing your desirable grass species.
When’s the Best Time to Remove Weeds?
The best time to spray for or remove weeds is when they’re young and before they have a chance to flower and produce seeds. Ideally, weed control would happen before the pesky weeds even appear (with pre-emergent herbicides). But if the weeds have already started to take over your lawn, removal should happen in early spring when the soil is moist and weeds are just starting to sprout. At this stage, their root systems are shallow and easier to pull out and kill with post-emergent herbicides.
You must also take into account the time of day to achieve the best results when spraying for weeds. Early morning and late evening are the best times for applying herbicides, as the temperatures are cooler and prevent the treatment from evaporating before absorbing into the lawn.
Our experienced technicians are well-versed in weed treatment for lawns as well as the local climate and conditions of Hazleton. This means you can trust us to implement weed removal and preventative measures at the most opportune times. Whether you’re dealing with crabgrass, spotted spurge, or something else, we know when and how to tackle the warm and cool-season weeds for the healthiest lawns.

Weed Control FAQs
Why is weed control so important for my lawn?
Weeds compete with grass for sunlight, water, and nutrients. Left unchecked, they can take over your lawn, weaken turf health, and create bare patches. Lawn weed prevention, then, keeps your grass thick, healthy, and green all season long.
What types of weeds do you treat?
We treat a wide variety of weeds, including grassy weeds (like crabgrass), broadleaf weeds (like clover and dandelions), warm-season and cool-season varieties, and annual weeds that grow in a single season and tough perennial weeds that return year after year. Suffice it to say, if you have a weed attacking your lawn, we have a weed treatment service that can tackle the problem.
How long does it take to see results from weed spraying?
You’ll typically see visible results within 7 to 14 days after treatment. Some weeds may take a bit longer depending on their type and maturity, but rest assured, we’re committed to reducing your weed population with every visit.
Will the weed control harm my grass?
Not at all. Our treatments are formulated to target weeds without damaging your nearby plants and grass. In fact, by removing competition, weed control gives your greenery even more room to thrive and absorb nutrients.
Can I mow my lawn after a weed treatment?
It’s best to wait 24 to 48 hours before mowing your lawn after a weed service. This gives the treatment time to absorb into the weeds for the best results.
Do I need to water my grass after weed control is applied?
Some treatments require watering to activate them, especially pre-emergent herbicides. Post-emergent treatments often need time to sit on the grass before watering. We’ll always let you know what’s best based on the specific product used.
Do weeds grow back?
While our treatments significantly reduce and control weeds, some may return over time, especially if new seeds blow in or conditions favor weed growth. That’s why consistent, seasonal treatments are so important for ongoing protection.
You can also reduce the chances of weeds growing back by investing in services like fertilizer applications. A well-fed lawn grows stronger and fuller, making it harder for weeds to even take hold.
What should I do if the weeds have attracted pests to my yard?
Some weeds create the perfect environment for pests like ants, ticks, or mosquitoes. If weeds have led to a pest problem, let us know. Lawn Specialties offers insect control solutions that work hand-in-hand with weed management to restore your yard’s health and comfort.
