THE CRABGRASS CONTROL VIDEO - Pre and Post Emergent

[@CBReal1290]

Thank you for presenting pretty much a Clarity of all the stages and what to use I've listened to other videos. It confirms my plan because my yard is overgrown with mature crabgrass so I'm just going to wait till January but the pre-emergent down if something's hanging around this dead pull it out. However the one thing I did find is that quinclorac is not good for my main grass that is growing which is Bermuda. However I still found your video helpful to sticking to a plan for when or what months to really start at control in the crab grass

[@lawncarelife]

Glad to help. Thank you for watching

[@brutusdog]

Good that you talk about temps in different areas and thus the need to apply a pre-emergent at different times. Here in north central Texas crabgrass can and does germinate in February. I use a pre-emergent in October and again the first of February. It gets rid of lots of other weeds, too.

[@lawncarelife]

+brutusdog yes, I think some people believe that the answer is the same everywhere but it really depends on the weather

[@eoj1001]

I was always taught to get first dose of premerge rained in before the Forsythia loose its yellow flowers. Usually first week of March just north of you. Second dose first week of May Third dose by Second week of August for the Poa emerges when nights drop back around 60 degrees.

[@adamwyman656]

Best video on crabgrass yet!!👍

[@lawncarelife]

Thanks. Glad you found the video helpful

[@nezerac]

that dallisgrass bit helped me out a lot. It's exactly what's in our yard and exactly what I'm trying to get rid of atm.

[@lawncarelife]

roundup on a dormant bermuda lawn does work. I use 1oz per gallon of water. Read the label and make sure the bermuda is dormant before applying. I wouldn't try it on other types of grass

[@nezerac]

Lawn Care Business Ya our grass goes dormant every winter. It just turns brown regardless of how much water gets to it or how sunny it is. This video helped me out tons. I really appreciate you posting on this. I'm gonna do the roundup treatment during fall semester so it should be in the works in a few months here.

[@TNPFan]

Excellent video and one I'll be saving and referring to for next year. Thank you for the education!

[@lawncarelife]

+Anthony Crisp glad to help.

[@FixItWithMe]

If it’s Fall/September already and I let big patches of crabgrass die this winter, then will it leave dirt patches?? Should I try to overseed the area this fall since I can’t in the spring if I place Prodiamine??

[@jackietatum996]

Talk about TORPEDO GRASS!!! I live in central AL!! Do you service this area??

[@Imwright720]

One of my favorite channels. Great info plus I love weed I.d.

[@lawncarelife]

Thank you. Glad the channel has been helpful

[@keithhunt8]

Great video! Very well laid out information. Thank you!

[@lawncarelife]

+Caith Hunt thank you

[@adekunlesegun55]

Hi, can I mix Drive xlr8 with other herbicides in a tow-behind tank sprayer and apply to my 2 acre lawn?

[@lawncarelife]

Adekunle Segun i would think so but I would read the label to make sure

[@Jefferson196]

Thanks for this, now i know what to do and which weed is which. The bad thing is I now know my yard is FILLED with about 90% Poa Annua, Foxtail, Crabgrass and Dallis Grass and about 10% Bermuda, LOL....

[@srvafool]

What about crabgrass on my hay field? The first two product's labels are pretty specific about being for ornamental lawns only. Do you know of any crabgrass preventer that is safe to use for bermudagrass hay for horses and cows? Great video. Thanks!

[@lawncarelife]

I am going to pass on that question. Unfortunately, my knowledge is for lawns, not farmland. Perhaps you could check with someone at a local university that has an agricultural focus

[@srvafool]

Lawn Care Business Thanks for the response. I found out after I sent that question that Pastora is supposed to kill crabgrass along with sandburs and other problem weeds. Thanks again!

[@TheDesertRat31]

is dimension safe for use in centipede? what would be a good product for dallisgrass? thanks.

[@lawncarelife]

+Bob C I am pretty sure to mention is labeled for centipede grass. I do not know of any solutions for Dallisgrass in centipede. For Bermuda or Zoysia Lawns you can use tribute total

[@Cacti88]

awesome info thanks for posting it would be great if you could put the names of the active ingredients in the notes, and explain how exactly a HO should apply. ie rates and amounts of chemical. Can i use pump sprayer to apply the resolute, and does it need to be watered in afterwards ? Do you have creeping signal grass in your area? It looks exactly like crabgrass

[@northtexasturfpros6968]

Quinclorac is not for St Augustine lawns though. (Which is like 1/2 of the warm season lawns out there) Jason, What will kill crabgrass mature crabgrass in St Augustine??

[@lawncarelife]

I don't know the answer. We have very little St Augustine in my area. I would say it would be a great idea to prevent it with a pre-emergent. Most St Augustine Lawns I see do not have much crabgrass

[@northtexasturfpros6968]

Lawn Care Life Thanks Bud. IF you ever come across the answer it would be a great .help if you couldshare your findings bud! We would be forever grateful!

[@grasssnake3826]

Very helpful Jason Thanks. What is your opinion on a appying pre-emergent in the fall like I hear some do.

[@lawncarelife]

+Grass Snake I apply the same pre emergent in the fall that I do early in the year.

[@JoeMagrino]

Would that be Resolute or Dimension?

[@adekunlesegun55]

Thanks. I guess i should rephrase my question, should Drive slr8 be sprayed directly on each crabgrass or can it be broadcast? if so will it affect the bermuda grass?

[@lawncarelife]

You can broadcast but it is expensive. I think Solitaire works betters on crabgrass than Drive

[@kimberlyhenton6196]

Are these products safe for st Augustine

[@thadgregory6248]

When in your opinion is the best time to apply pre-emerge for crabgrass in northeast Texas?

[@lawncarelife]

+Thad Gregory I apply pre-emergent 3 times a year. Typically around September, January and March. The last two of those applications are more targeted toward crabgrass prevention. In north Texas those dates may be pushed back a little bit. It has more to do with the temperature then the calendar

[@thadgregory6248]

Okay thank you very much. Enjoyed the video!

[@michelmarquez966]

Hey man how you doing thank you for your content very interested my question is I live in Florida and I got some smooth crabgrass and my lawn how can I get rid of it I asked a few people and they told me that there is no way to get rid of it

[@lawncarelife]

+michel marquez I use a product called Solitaire for post-emergent Crabgrass control. check the label to make sure it is labeled for your grass type

[@michelmarquez966]

Lawn Care Life I have floratan grass you cannot use 2 4D I will kill the lawn any other options

[@lawncarelife]

+michel marquez I have been hearing about a product called Avenue South for St Augustine. I don't think it will do anything to crabgrass but may be a good option for many other weeds

[@dschannel5273]

I have used drive xlr8 and the crab grass tips only turned yellow and purple and continued to thrive, I even mixed with 2-4d and surfactant

[@lawncarelife]

+DS channel I recently did a test on crabgrass using drive on the front yard and dimension on the back. Dimension got much better results

[@garypoe4411]

this late in the year should I spray and kill or wait until next year to attack/prevent?

[@lawncarelife]

at this point I would probably just wait.

[@GlynRobinson]

sprayed my crabgrass with MSMA yesterday. I will reapply after it starts turning yellow/brown.

[@MrBigal123123]

Do u need mso surfactant for drive xlr8 or can something else be used?

[@gyver471]

alex l is drive xlr8 better than quinclorac 75?

[@EclipseLawnCare]

Do these products that you mention work on both On Crabgrass and Dallis Grass? Also does it harm either Bermuda or St.Augustine grass?

[@lawncarelife]

not on dallisgrass..I would have to check the label to see if they all can be used on st augustine.

[@lawncarelife]

pretty sure they are all labeled for Bermuda. you can double check

[@EclipseLawnCare]

What would you recommend to control Dallis Grass around this time?

[@lawncarelife]

+Eclipse Lawn Care I have been pulling some by hand. in a Bermuda lawn you can wait until the Bermuda goes dormant and spray it with a light dose of roundup

[@lawncarelife]

+Eclipse Lawn Care not a whole lot you can do about it this time of year to my knowledge

[@Heyjuststfu]

Will Drive xlr8 kill mature dallisgrass weed? I've read varying results and I'd like to know what you think. Thanks

[@lawncarelife]

+Heyjuststfu I'm not sure I have tried that but I seriously doubt it

[@catbirdfeeder]

Heyjuststfu I broadcast sprayed my front lawn with drive to kill crabgrass. Didn't phase the dallisgrass. You can see in my video.

[@jrh6466]

Great video, thanks for posting. I have an infestation of crabgrass and have sprayed with Bayer Advanced Weed Control which contains quinclorac, 2,4-d and dicamba, it turned the grass partially red with some spots but very little of the grass has died and it has been 3 weeks. I used the ready mix on the end of a hose and thought I had good coverage. My question now is would it help at this time to respray again this late in the year in Kentucky or just wait for frost? Also part of the crabgrass has become fairly large. I have Drive XLR8 on hand and could use it but it has a possibility of damaging fine fescue which is what I have. Do you ever use Drive on fine fescue? My fescue is Falcon V and I was told that it is a fine fescue. Will wuicclorac kill larger crabgrass? Any comments appreciated. Thanks John

[@lawncarelife]

I would use Solitaire for crabgrass this time of year if you want it gone now. I would check to make sure it is labeled for fescue. I don't have fescue lawns in my area so I am not sure which products are labeled for fescue. If it were my yard, I would wait for the crabgrass to die in a few months and then use a pre-emergent in the winter or early spring

[@grassmonkeylawncare6056]

So if the crabgrass dies over the winter, can you go ahead and aerate and reseed and be good for the following year, I have many clients who have this and they want to over seed and aerate or detatch. What would you recommend

[@lawncarelife]

+Grass Monkey Lawn Care I am hesitant to give you advice because I am not sure what part of the country you live in and what grasses you are dealing with. I am mostly familiar with the southern grasses we have. Here, many people aerate in the spring and overseed in the fall

[@grassmonkeylawncare6056]

+Lawn Care Business Midwest mostly fescue lawns

[@generinck1556]

What about dallis grass what is best for control?

[@lawncarelife]

I use tribute total and dismiss combined

[@xmtowntyx]

What's the mix rate per gallon

[@landscapetechniques6872]

What are you using to control dallisgrass and what kind of results are you having

[@lawncarelife]

+Landscape techniques for Bermuda Lawns I use a low rate of Roundup when Bermuda goes dormant dormant. during the growing season best option I have is Celsius which provides some discoloration. What are you doing for Dallisgrass?

[@landscapetechniques6872]

+Lawn Care Business round up late in the season in Bermuda as well I usually mix Celsius and certainty a little iron to try to keep the burn down and try to make a follow up application 2 weeks later

[@lawnsnob5319]

Dallasgrass is the devil. Trick I use is put on a rubber glove, put some Roundup in a shallow cup or something. Dip your fingertip in the Roundup then wipe it on the blades of the Dallasgrass. This keeps damage to the turf minimal. Spraying it while its domant is risky. I've seen whole lawn killed dead and the owner says "My lawn wont come out of dormancy" Uhh...yeah cause you killed it by spraying it with Roundup.

[@grasshopperman1229]

hello big fan here.i live in texas and we have somthing called johnson grass thats everywhere and it looks just like that crab grass.i was wondering if its the same thing just a different name.is johnson grass crab grass or even the delli grass?

[@lawncarelife]

Johnson grass is different from crabgrass though some of the same weed control products will probably work on both

[@justinmiller7250]

the thing I want to know is what happens after you kill the crab grass...how can I. tell you what my grass is, and do I need to plant a certain seed

[@catbirdfeeder]

Justin Miller Amen! It all starts with identifying our grass! It's very difficult to know what kind of grass you have. And there is no information good enough to help us. I even went to the County co-op and photographed the turf for sale. I still couldn't identify my grass. I finally got an old man to help me identify my Grass.

[@brad9662]

Justin Miller if you still haven't identified this. Go to solutionsstores.com they can identify weeds and grass types for you just through an e-mailed photo.

[@sagirius]

How do get rid of Dallisgrass? Have both dallisgrass and crabgrass

[@lawncarelife]

Dallisgrass is tough. You can use a low rate of roundup in dormant bermudagrass or you can get some results with products like Celsius or Tribute Total

[@AJCoReTV]

I have st Augustine in FL & crabgrass is taking over. Baking soda kills it?

[@lawncarelife]

+adrian97c I do not know if baking soda works or not

[@barbaramarrs3107]

Baking soda vinegar

[@llamacebu216]

those smells have to be brutal I just ordered the drive and holy cow. thankfully I had an old dryer in the garage that could keep the odor in. talking about burning eyes lol

[@catbirdfeeder]

Ben Dover Drive does not have an order. I used it yesterday and no smell

[@jamesvarnes3625]

Is Dimension safe to use in a yard with dogs?

[@lawncarelife]

I recommend reading the label for any safety data. You can download it online

[@texaslawnmonster3413]

Great video Jason, thanks for posting

[@lawncarelife]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I hope to created many more weed control videos

[@areafortyone]

I live in SE Louisiana & have St. Augustine grass in my lawn, most of the time we have a mixed winter of warm & cold days. I've had Crabgrass live right through the winter months. So my question is, can I use a Pre Emergent like Halts twice a year, like in the Fall & Spring to control it & other weeds in my lawn?

[@lawncarelife]

I put out pre emergent out in the fall and in the winter. I typically apply three times a year. September January and March

[@areafortyone]

Excellent, I'll put some down this fall then. Thanks

[@lawncarelife]

+Fleets Enema I do think if the crabgrass is living through the winter in warmer climates may cause you to change your strategy. You could use Solitaire to eliminate existing crabgrass and still use a pre-emergent to prevent Crabgrass from coming back . Where I live the crabgrass dies off every winter so I do not have the the same problem you are referring to

[@areafortyone]

Thanks, I've been fighting it all summer long. between the spot treatments with roundup & digging it up when I see it I'm gaining the upper hand. But I still plan to do the Scotts Halts.

[@briankanoy6213]

anything out there to kill daligrass in fescue?

[@lawncarelife]

+Brian Kanoy not that I know of

[@mjb12141963]

In my yard the crab grass is much lighter color than the rest of my lawn so it's easy to spot.

[@MartyChristianSoldier]

So before it gets above 55 degrees, so anytime after thaw?

[@jrh6466]

The last sentence should have read, Will quinclorac kill larger crabgrass.

[@johnhamilton9229]

I use baracade on my Bermuda.

[@sumerbc7409]

Do these products kill St. Augustine grass??... that's what we all got here in East Texas.....
