Crabgrass can turn a beautiful lawn into a patchy mess, but there’s a simple way to keep it from ever taking hold: preemergent herbicide. The trick is timing—apply it just before the soil warms up to 55°F in early spring, usually when forsythia blooms. This stops crabgrass seeds before they sprout, saving you the headache of fighting weeds all summer. Just be careful near new grass or garden beds, since these chemicals can affect other seeds too.
