Crabgrass

We get rid of crabgrass so your lawn can flourish. Crabgrass is a grassy weed that invades your lawn in late spring, becoming prolific through the summer. It dies in early fall turning brown and unsightly. Crabgrass quickly grows from one central point producing runners that spread out across the lawn, choking out turfgrass in the hottest part of the summer. Early spring preemergent crabgrass control applications, along with maintaining a thick weed-free turf, are the best means of controlling this grassy weed.
