What is the difference between pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control?

Pre-emergent stops weeds before they grow. Post-emergent kills weeds that already exist. Both are essential for a weed-free lawn in Texas.

Pre-Emergent vs. Post-Emergent

Pre-emergent:

Applied to soil before weeds sprout

Creates a barrier that prevents germination

Best used in early spring and early fall

Post-emergent:

Applied directly to visible weeds

Targets broadleaf or grassy weeds already present

Used year-round as needed

Using only one type won’t deliver long-term results — the best weed control programs use both to stop new weeds while eliminating existing ones.
