We will rotate through three different pre-emergent applications and two different spot-treatment options to ensure maximum efficacy at every time of year. 

Our Tree & Shrub team members are experts on Texas landscaping and know how to avoid plant injury. They can identify which plants we can/cannot apply various products to. We will treat around plants with active, seasonal blooms that would not withstand the applications and hand-pull visible weeds in those areas. 

We will pull broadleaf and grassy weeds next to flowering plants, rather than apply spot treatment, as a precaution.

If you see weeds between scheduled treatments, Emerald Lawns will send someone to take care of it for free. To qualify, customers must buy all three applications. 

Drip irrigation alone will typically not saturate the entire landscaping space, so we advise extra, “over-the-top” watering to activate the treatment within 21 days of the application (if no rainfall is present).  

For 600 sq ft or less, it costs $75. Only $10 more per each additional 100 square feet.

Applications will be done around these 3 holidays (give or take a couple of weeks):  

• Valentine’s Day – Feb 14th 
• Memorial Day – end of May 
• Labor Day – Sept 1st  

We will apply our treatment in raised beds, but not in vegetable-producing gardens. 

We will happily apply just one or two treatments for the year, but cannot provide free spot-treatments between scheduled visits. Texas weeds are hardy and require different types of application, depending on the plant and time of year, so we highly recommend the 3-application program.
