What Makes Our Weed Control Different
Effective weed control isn't about spraying every weed you see after it's already 6 inches tall. That's the reactive approach most companies take. We take a proactive prevention strategy that stops weeds before they germinate.
Here's how it works:
Pre-Emergent Treatments are applied before weed seeds germinate. Think of it as a barrier in the soil that prevents seeds from sprouting. In Frisco, timing is everything. We apply pre-emergents in late winter (February to early March) to block summer weeds like crabgrass, and again in late summer (September) to prevent winter weeds like henbit and chickweed. Miss these windows, and you'll spend the rest of the season chasing weeds that could have been prevented.
Post-Emergent Treatments target weeds that are already visible. These are spot treatments applied to broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, and dollarweed. We use selective herbicides that kill weeds without harming your grass. Post-emergents are part of every treatment in our 7-visit program, so if a weed slips through, we handle it on the next visit.
Most companies wait until you call and complain about weeds before they come back out. We include spot treatment on every single visit. That's the difference between a lawn care service and a lawn care partner.
We're licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA License #0823737) and trained in proper herbicide application. That means we know which products work on which weeds, and we apply them at the right rate to protect your lawn and the environment.
Why Weed Control Matters in Frisco
Frisco lawns face unique weed pressure because of our mix of clay soil, hot summers, and neighborhoods with mature landscaping. Affluent areas like Stonebriar and Phillips Creek Ranch have beautiful lawns, but they're surrounded by common areas, greenbelt trails, and shared spaces where weeds spread quickly.
Broadleaf weeds like clover and dandelions thrive in Frisco's spring and fall. They spread fast, and once they flower, they release hundreds of seeds into your lawn. If left untreated, they'll outcompete your grass for water and nutrients.
Crabgrass is the other major issue. It germinates when soil temperatures hit 55-60°F (usually late March in Frisco), and by June, it's taken over thin spots in your lawn. The only way to stop crabgrass is with a properly timed pre-emergent. Once it's growing, it's nearly impossible to kill without damaging your lawn.
Weeds don't just look bad. They weaken your lawn by stealing nutrients, creating bare spots, and giving pests like grubs a place to establish. A weed-free lawn is a healthy lawn, and a healthy lawn is more drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and resilient during our brutal Texas summers.
That's why we don't treat weed control as an optional add-on. It's a core part of every treatment we do.
The Weed Control Process
Treatment 1
(February)
Treatments 2-6
(March-October)
Treatment 7
(November)
We also adjust our approach based on your lawn's specific needs. If you have a shaded backyard where clover thrives, we'll increase post-emergent coverage in that area. If you're in a newer neighborhood with construction debris in the soil, we'll monitor for nutsedge and treat it separately (nutsedge requires specialty herbicides).
Every treatment is documented in your service record so we can track what's working and adjust as needed. That's the kind of attention to detail you won't get from a national chain doing 60 lawns a day.

Frequently Asked Questions
No lawn care company can guarantee 100% weed elimination because weeds are constantly being introduced from wind, birds, foot traffic, and neighboring properties. What we can guarantee is that we'll stay on top of it. If weeds appear between scheduled treatments, we'll come back and re-treat at no extra charge. Our goal is to keep weed coverage below 5%, which is considered "weed-free" by industry standards. Most of our Frisco clients see fewer than 10 weeds per 1,000 square feet after the first full season.
The best time to start is **late winter (February)**, before soil temperatures warm up and weed seeds germinate. If you start in February, we can apply pre-emergent and stop crabgrass before it becomes a problem. If you're starting mid-season (April or later), we'll focus on post-emergent treatments to knock down existing weeds, then transition to a pre-emergent schedule in the fall. Starting in February gives you the best results, but it's never too late to get on a program.
We use traditional herbicides because they're the most effective option for North Texas lawns. Organic weed control products (like acetic acid or corn gluten meal) work in certain conditions, but they require frequent reapplication and don't provide the same level of control. That said, we use EPA-approved products at the lowest effective rate, and we follow all TDA guidelines for safe application. If you have pets or kids, we recommend keeping them off the lawn for 2-3 hours after treatment (until it dries). After that, it's completely safe.
Pre-emergent herbicides prevent weed seeds from germinating. They create a chemical barrier in the soil that stops seeds from sprouting. They don't kill existing weeds. Post-emergent herbicides kill weeds that are already growing. They're absorbed through the leaves and kill the plant from the inside out. Both are necessary for complete weed control. Pre-emergents stop 80-90% of weeds before they start, and post-emergents handle the rest.
Pre-emergents work invisibly. You won't see results because the weeds never appear in the first place. Post-emergents take 7-14 days to fully kill a weed. You'll notice the weed turning yellow or brown within 3-5 days, but it takes another week for the roots to die completely. Don't pull the weed during this time. Let the herbicide do its job. If the weed is still green after 14 days, call us and we'll re-treat.
Organic options for pre-emergent weed control are very limited and less effective than synthetic products like prodiamine or dithiopyr. For post-emergent control, we use selective herbicides that break down quickly in soil. Brian can discuss specific product options when he evaluates your lawn.
