Pre-emergent weed control treatments are an effective way to prevent weeds from sprouting and causing problems in your lawn. In Texas, you should apply a pre-emergent treatment in the early fall, as this will help stop weeds from emerging during the fall season when they would have the opportunity to grow. Then, you should apply another round of pre-emergent weed control in mid-to-late fall or early winter. This is because it'll help prevent winter weeds from sprouting on your lawn.

It's also important to utilize post-emergent weed control treatments throughout the fall to eliminate any existing weeds on your lawn. These treatments can be applied at any time to target specific weeds and keep them off your property. By utilizing both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments during the fall, you can effectively keep your lawn free of weeds as it heads into the winter season.

Apply a pre-emergent weed control treatment in the early fall.

Applying a pre-emergent weed control treatment in the early fall provides protection against many common weeds that may otherwise emerge on your lawn during the fall season. Pre-emergent herbicides create a barrier in the soil that prevents weeds from sprouting through the surface. So, by applying this treatment in the early fall, you can help prevent weeds from taking over your lawn during the autumn season.

Apply a second round of pre-emergent weed control in mid-to-late fall or early winter.

A second round of pre-emergent weed control should be applied in mid-to-late fall or early winter. The reason behind this is simple: pre-emergent herbicides only last so long before losing their effectiveness. So, by applying a second round of pre-emergent weed control at this time, you can fortify your lawn against any new weeds that could otherwise pop up on your lawn during the winter season.

Some common weeds that pre-emergent weed control treatments are effective against include chickweed, clover, dandelion, henbit, and more.

Use post-emergent weed control treatments throughout the fall to tackle existing weeds.

While pre-emergent weed control treatments are very effective at preventing new weeds from popping up, they aren't effective on weeds that are already present on your lawn. They also don't work on weeds that were already too far into their life cycle before the pre-emergent treatment was applied. Fortunately, you can use post-emergent weed control treatments to address these existing weeds! Post-emergent herbicides target weeds that have already emerged on your lawn, eliminating them so that they can't continue to compete with your grass for essential resources.

Post-emergent weed control treatments can be applied at any time during the fall to target weeds that have already popped up. You can apply them multiple times throughout the season to keep your lawn free of weeds! By using both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments in the fall, you can keep your lawn weed-free throughout the fall and winter seasons.
