Full-service weed control
There are different types of weed killers, and each should be applied at a different point in the weed's life cycle. Your grass and soil types determine which weed control products are best for your lawn, and Ryno Lawn Care can help you sort that out — contact us for a free evaluation.
Weed control types of treatment
Pre-emergent herbicide stops weeds while they are still developing beneath the surface. We apply it at the times of year before the weed has broken through the ground.
Post-emergent herbicide takes out weeds after they have come up. We treat with it at the times of year when weeds can be seen above the ground.
When to apply treatments
Spreading applications out over the course of a year is normal, and how often depends on the product. The first usually goes down at the start of the growing season, in early spring. Further rounds can follow in late spring, early summer, and late summer, with another in early fall — the key is to avoid treating in the middle of intense weather.
Exceptions always come down to the species of grass, the soil type, and the specific location. Southlake lawns commonly sit on clay-based soil, but that may not be the case for yours.
- Slow-release fertilizers last longer and need fewer applications through the year.
- Fast-release fertilizers don't last as long and need more applications through the year.

Common questions
Why can't one weed killer handle everything in my yard?
Different weed killers work at different points in a weed's life cycle. Pre-emergent stops weeds before they surface; post-emergent treats the ones already up. Your grass and soil also decide which products are safe to use.
Does Southlake's clay soil change the treatment?
It can. Southlake lawns commonly sit on clay-based soil, but not every lawn does, so we look at your grass and soil before choosing products.
Why don't you treat during the worst of summer?
Applications are timed to avoid intense weather. Early spring, late spring, early and late summer, and early fall are the usual windows, adjusted for your grass species and location.
Can I get my lawn looked at first?
Yes — contact us for a free evaluation of your grass, soil, and weeds.
