Our 8-Step Lawn Treatment Program

We believe in open communication and will keep you informed every step of the way, so you can relax and enjoy your beautiful yard.

Step 1:

Early Spring Pre-Emergent & Weed Control

We kickstart your lawn’s health with an early spring pre-emergent combined with broadleaf weed control. This proactive approach targets weeds before they emerge, preventing them from becoming a problem later in the season. This is crucial for homeowners in North Dallas where early spring weather can be unpredictable.

Step 2:

Spring Fertilization & Crabgrass Prevention

As the weather warms, we apply a spring pre-emergent for broadleaf weeds and crabgrass prevention, coupled with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to encourage healthy growth after winter dormancy. This combination is essential for a vibrant lawn in the North Dallas spring.

Steps 3-6:

Summer Fertilization & Weed Management

The Texas summer heat can be tough on lawns. During these months, we provide slow-release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers to fortify your lawn’s roots and maintain a deep green color. We also address any visible weeds to keep your turf looking its best.

Step 7:

Fall Pre-Emergent & Root Strengthening

As temperatures cool down, we apply a fall pre-emergent with broadleaf weed control and a potassium-rich formula. This prepares your lawn for winter dormancy and promotes a strong root system, setting the stage for a healthy spring.

Step 8:

Winter Weed Prevention & Root Protection

A winter pre-emergent helps prevent cool-season weeds from taking root, while potassium fertilization reinforces a healthy root system, ensuring a strong start in the spring. This is a vital step for DFW lawns, as winter weeds can be a problem.

Weed Control & Prevention for the Toughest Weeds in North Dallas

ABOUT PRE-EMERGENT WEED CONTROL

Pre-emergent weed control is applied to prevent crabgrass and controllable broadleaf weeds. Pre-emergents do not prevent grassy weeds such as Dallisgrass, Johnson Grass or Nutsedge from emerging in your lawn. Separate, targeted control methods are needed for these persistent, hard-to-kill weeds.

Dallisgrass is a deep-rooted bunchgrass that spreads through underground rhizomes and seeds. It prefers warm, moist areas and begins growth in early spring, readily invading lawns. Dallisgrass is a very difficult weed to control as grassy weeds are not affected by pre-emergents. Hand-pulling Dallisgrass doesn’t eliminate this weed, because some of the rhizomes will be left in the soil to grow back. Dallisgrass forms star-shaped clumps with long, coarse leaves and tall seed stalks. It usually takes 1-3 treatments and the affected area will turn yellow or brown temporarily. There is an additional charge if the infestation is moderate to heavy.

Nutsedge, also known as Nutgrass, is a difficult weed to control as pre-emergents do not prevent germination. This tough, perennial grass-like weed seeks out moist, poorly drained sections of your yard. Nutgrass grows faster in hot weather and can only be treated when it appears. This is because Nutsedge grows from tiny tubers 8-14 inches deep in the soil. It can only be treated in very warm months as the chemical will not affect Nutsedge in cold temperatures. The key to treatment is repeated applications – usually, 2 to 3 treatments are necessary – heavy infestations may require more treatments. There is an additional charge for control of nutsedge if an infestation is moderate to heavy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fertilization & Weed Control

At Abracadabra Pest & Weed Control, we know homeowners have questions when signing up for weed control and fertilization services. Below are the most common questions we receive, along with expert answers to help you make the best decision for your lawn

You’ll typically start seeing weeds wilt and die within 7 to 14 days after treatment. However, full weed elimination can take several weeks, depending on the type of weeds and the number of treatments needed. Pre-emergent herbicides work to prevent new weeds from growing, so results improve over time.

For best results, we recommend a year-round, 8-step program, which includes treatments every 6-8 weeks. This schedule ensures consistent weed prevention, fertilization, and seasonal care to keep your lawn healthy in all weather conditions.

We treat all major broadleaf and grassy weeds found in North Texas, including:

  • Broadleaf weeds: Dandelion, clover, chickweed, henbit, thistle
  • Grassy weeds: Crabgrass, dallisgrass, nutsedge, poa annua

Our treatments include pre-emergent weed control to stop weeds before they grow and post-emergent applications to eliminate existing weeds.

Yes! Our products are EPA-approved and safe when used as directed. We recommend keeping kids and pets off the lawn for 1-2 hours after treatment to allow the application to fully dry.

It depends on the treatment:

  • Pre-emergent weed control: Requires watering within 48 hours to activate the product.
  • Post-emergent weed control: Should remain dry for at least 24 hours to ensure effectiveness.
  • Fertilization: Watering helps nutrients absorb into the soil, promoting healthy growth.

Yes, but timing matters:

  • Before treatment: Mow at least 1-2 days before weed control to allow better absorption.
  • After treatment: Wait 48 hours before mowing to allow herbicides to work effectively.

No. Our selective herbicides target weeds without harming Bermuda, Zoysia, or St. Augustine grass. We carefully apply treatments to protect your lawn’s health while eliminating invasive weeds.

Yes! Many weeds grow below the surface before they appear. Without pre-emergent treatments, weeds will continue to return. A proactive approach keeps your lawn weed-free all year.

Fertilization provides essential nutrients that improve:

✔️ Grass color & density – A greener, thicker lawn
✔️ Root strength – Helps withstand drought & stress
✔️ Weed resistance – Healthy grass prevents weed growth
✔️ Seasonal resilience – Protection from extreme temperatures

Light rain after 24 hours won’t affect most treatments. However, if heavy rain occurs within a few hours of application, we may need to reapply certain treatments at no extra charge.

While we do offer single treatments, we highly recommend our year-round program for long-term weed prevention and lawn health. One-time treatments provide temporary results, while regular applications keep weeds from returning.

Answer: Pricing varies based on:

  • Lawn size
  • Treatment type
  • Number of applications
