Are you ready for a breath of fresh air? For the bright colors and sunny days of spring? Prepare your landscape for a bright new season with these lawn care tips from Bell Sod and Hydroseed.
Apply Pre-Emergents
At Bell Sod and Hydroseed, we install high quality turfgrass. Our preferred sod varieties have selective weedkiller options that will eliminate weeds without harming your lawn. Pre-emergent weed control eradicates invasive plants before they infest your lawn. These herbicides target seeds before they germinate, killing weeds before they take root. Most landscapers apply pre-emergents in early March, although homeowners who monitor when weeds sprout in their yards may adjust the schedule. Apply pre-emergents to Sacramento lawns several weeks before weeds typically appear.
