As cooler months approach, many Benbrook homeowners are turning their attention to lawn care, especially when it comes to keeping Bermuda grass healthy and crabgrass under control.
One resident recently asked a simple but familiar question: which pre-emergent should I use, and who in town can I trust for advice?
The good news is that the options are both straightforward and widely available. Two popular choices are Sunniland’s 50-pound Pre-Emergent Crabgrass Control, which covers up to 20,000 square feet, and Lesco’s Crabgrass Pre-Emergent, sold in 50-pound bags that handle about 12,500 square feet. Both can be found at local retailers like Home Depot or lawn supply stores.
Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer is another neighborhood favorite, especially for those wanting an easy weed-and-feed option.
Timing is everything. Lawn pros recommend applying pre-emergent early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid burning your grass in the lingering Texas heat. Be sure to water afterward so the product can work into the soil. As temperatures cool down in October, many suggest following up with Scotts WinterGuard for a final seasonal boost.
For Benbrook residents who would rather skip the DIY route, local lawn care services and landscapers can handle the application professionally. If you need recommendations, community word of mouth is often the best starting point.
At the end of the day, whether you go with Sunniland, Lesco, or Scotts, the key is consistency. A little planning now means your Bermuda grass will stay thick, green, and ready to shine when spring rolls back around.
