Crabgrass shows up fast in thin, stressed areas of turf, especially once warm weather settles into the Carolinas and Virginia. Its seeds germinate early, grow aggressively, and crowd out the healthy grass you’ve worked hard to maintain. Once it spreads, it can take over bare patches in just a few weeks. The best defense is early action and consistent lawn care.

How Crabgrass Damages Lawns
Crabgrass isn’t just an eyesore; it’s a turf-weakening invader. This weed spreads rapidly, producing thousands of seeds over a single season. It thrives in thin or stressed turf, taking advantage of any bare soil that it can find.
As crabgrass spreads and thickens, it blocks sunlight from reaching healthy grass, steals water and nutrients, and weakens root systems. By late summer, patches can become dry, brittle, and thin, leaving your lawn vulnerable to even more weeds next season.
Crabgrass Prevention & Elimination
Effective control begins well before you see weeds pop up:
- Pre-spring prevention: Our early-season pre-emergent applications form a barrier in the soil to stop crabgrass seeds from germinating. Timing is crucial. Applying too late allows weeds to establish roots before treatments can work.
- Summer spot control: If crabgrass breaks through during the summer, our team uses targeted post-emergent treatments to eliminate active growth without harming the surrounding turf.
- Recurring treatments: We service lawns every four to nine weeks from early spring to late fall, ensuring complete coverage throughout the growing season and supporting long-term turf health.
Whether your priority is crabgrass control or prevention, we tailor our solutions to your lawn’s specific needs.

The earlier you start, the better your results will be. Most crabgrass seeds germinate as soil temperatures warm in early spring, and once they sprout, they’re harder to eliminate.
The Green Team offers weed control to set your lawn up for a healthier, thicker growing season.
