Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to kill weeds in my lawn?

The best approach to weed control is to prevent the weeds before they even start. However, once your weeds are visible they can still be killed but it will take time. Some weeds can be killed with just 1 application but most weeds will take 2 or 3 applications to for complete control. Some grassy weeds (like crabgrass) cannot be killed until the Fall or Spring seasons.

Do I need to hand pull the dead weeds in my lawn?

No they will break down and disappear on their own in a month or so.

How much weed killer do I need to apply to my lawn?

Everything that you need is in the instructions label that came with your herbicide.

  1. Know what type of grass you have.
  2. Measure your Grass Square Footage.
  3. Practice spraying your lawn with water in a pump sprayer to learn how many gallons of water you use while spraying your lawn. It may be good to practice this a few times to build consistency. (A general rule of thumb is at least 1 gallon per thousand sq ft.)
  4. The product label will define the amount of weed killer needed per sq ft. Occasionally the label will tell you the amount per gallon instead of per sq ft.
  5. Add about half the water needed to your sprayer. Then Add the chemical needed per the Label. Lastly, finish adding the rest of the water and mix the solution.
