Spring time will soon be on us and it's time to start cleaning up those lawns and getting ready for the new growth and green grass that will be coming.

The preemergent method is the most effective because the weeds are controlled before they emerge this way the lawn looks cleaner because you never see the weeds. A chemical free preemergent herbicide such as ChemFree+ is used to prevent weeds such as; Crabgrass, Clover, Dandelions, and some 20 other weeds. The timing is critical on applying preemergent herbicides. If you put it down to early, you miss the late summer weeds, if you wait to long to apply, you'll miss the crabgrass. Usually the weather in your area will dictate the proper timing. You can always ask at your local garden center or E-mail Chem Free Lawns, Inc. at info@chemfreelawns.com. Using chemicals to control weeds is a hazardous matter.
