Now spring of "24" 3 of my neighbors KEEP ASKING ME WHY I DON'T HAVE Dandelions!!
Everytime they see me outside.
I'm NOT SHARING. 💯
BL says to put it down every few months and it WORKS as a pre-emergent. I could NOT be happier. Definitely a dedicated subscriber now.
This is awesome. Glad to hear! Great job on making it happen! Appreciate you watching and sharing!
Great video. You are helping me tremendously. I don’t have a ton of money to put into my lawn and your vids have transformed my yard into a public golf course
Right on! Great to hear. Glad the videos help. Appreciate ya watching and sharing. Keep up the great work! 👊
i put these product on my lawn every year and it works for me.
Good stuff 👍👍 thanks so much for watching.
Couldn’t agree more, love your channel and your different voices
Appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching.
Your video was very helpful! And I will be using your tips. I started late this year applying weed and feed but this is a learning experience for me. I am a woman trying to learn and do this by myself!
Awesome. Glad it was able to help. Good luck. You can do this. I'm happy to help along the way. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
When you said Dimension, I knew you had a quality pre-emergent. It is one I have used in the past with great results. Damn nice looking lawn.
Right on. Thank you. Appreciate you watching and the feedback 👊👊
I use it and it works excellent for me in my two acres 😊
Great to hear! Thanks for watching and sharing!
This stuff works great for me too, haven't had any new weeds since applying it. The price is great too.
Awesome. Great to hear. Thanks so much for watching and your feedback!
Just watched and subscribed, thanks. I'm on a fixed income and will keep watching as my local guy's products have gone through the roof. Looking forward to watching more. Thanks again.
Thank you. Appreciate ya!
I’m going to try some on my Bermuda. I enjoy watching your advice!
Saweeet. Good luck. Thanks for watching!
I thought the intro was about my wife and kids. Why can't I find a support group that understands..... Natas bless
Me and family love your videos and we are fan we have a question for you two days April 29. We have a green grass right now, but see some small crabgrass starting to come up you think I’m late to do a crabgrass preventers on my lawn Pre-emerging ? Can you help we think you are the best in what you do that’s why I watch your videos me and my family
Don't know if my other comment is showing up. Might be the way I worded some things. I would spot treat the new crabgrass while it is still very small and young. It's easier to eliminate that way before it matures. A few days later, I'd apply a pre-emergent if I hadn't already. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and all the support!
Agree 100. I use the bog box items as well and especially when clearanced. Get good results either way from off the shelf and the prodiamine etc. bought online. 👍
👊👊 right on man. Thanks for watching and sharing! See ya back on the show soon!
Thanks Travis, the front lawn looks awesome from all of the work you put in this summer. Always enjoy your way of telling the cost conscious folks there is no need to buy the high dollar products through all the lawn care folks on CZcams 😂.
Appreciate that. It was a fun summer but glad that part is over. And you’re welcome. That’s why this channel was born. There is another way and it doesn’t cost a ton of 💴. Thanks so much for supporting the channel.
Awesome advice Travis!! I used a product and realized that I didn't read the Lable! 😂
It worked better the second time around after I read the LABLE!!! The battle continues!!
Right on man! 👊👊Keep up the good work. Thanks for watching as always buddy!
Hey trav! just put 8 bags down yesterday! Lots of sq ft to cover! Free water from rain last night.
Hey man! Right on. Perfect timing. Same up here. Appreciate ya watching!
8 , holy crap!!! thats a work-out !!
I've been using that same product for a few years. It works just fine.
Indeed it does. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experience! 👊👊
Spectracide is hands down my favorite big box store product!
Love the brand as a whole! Thanks for watching man!
@@BudgetLawnssame here! Thanks for a great video!
👊👊
This is my go to Pre EM. Works great! Love the videos.
Great to hear! Appreciate ya watching!
Great video. Really sound advice. I usually alternate prodiamine and dithiopyr. Prodiamine is cheaper than dithiopyr but the later can have some post emergent effect.
Thank ya sir. Appreciate ya adding that. Good stuff. 👊👊
Put some down today, expecting lower Temps here in Texas and some rain the next couple days.
Right on. I bet you’re excited about that. Been a long summer for you folks. Enjoy the change in weather. Thanks so much for watching.
Love the village in hat
Thank ya, kind sir!!!
I actually tried the spectracide yellow top hose sprayer and the Bayer 3 in 1 weed and feed granules. It killed some weeds. The dandelion and a few other weeds it did not affect at all. I applied it correctly
Thanks for watching and the feedback.
Just what I do in North jersey wait for the forsythia's to pop out yellow should any day put down on dry grass after lunch water it in last couple of yrs good success on my black beauty grass
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Speed zone and spot spraying are king 👑!

Booooom! That's what I'm talkin about. Can't beat that. 👊👊 Well done, my friend! Appreciate ya as always.
It’s a good product I use it up north I believe it’s best as a pre emergent and yes of course it was definitely user error on the most part for the people who gave it a bad rap
Thanks for sharing your experience buddy. Appreciate you!
i was on a Bermuda FB page..... can't remember which one. But, some guy gave you a shout out as who he follows for his Bermuda info.
That's awesome. Appreciate ya sharing. Thanks for watching.
This was helpful... thank you 👍
Awesome. Glad to hear. You’re welcome. Appreciate you!
Would you put the granular product down in the fall to help prevent weeds that sprout in the spring?
Sure would. Fall app is really going to control the poa annua that becomes a problem in spring. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I love this product, and your info. I was wondering after i water it in should i continue watering a few days or stop watering and let it work it’s magic or do i run the risk of burning the lawn? Thank you for the content.
You're welcome. Thank you. Water it in and no need to water for days after. Resume normal watering schedule.
After using this, how long should I wait to reseed? Really would appreciate your advice. Love your videos.
Thank you. Appreciate ya watching. If you just applied it, you're running out of time before winter. With that in mind, you'll realistically have to wait until next spring. If you're just asking in general, I'd wait at least 3 months before seeding after application. That's if you went light on the rate. Hope this helps. Thanks again.
Spectracide Weedstop + Crabgrass control has dithiopyr. It is a pre emergent and thus will stop warm and cool season grass from emerging from seed. Just use the broadleaf product without dithiopyr, and then wait for about 4 months, and go back to the broadleaf post emergent and dithiopyr.
👍👍
If you are putting down seed or overseeding I like to use Scott's. Starter fertilizer with mesotrion. It has started fertilizer and what we call tenacity in it.
It will be a pre-emergent but not for grass seed only the weeds.
Good to know. Thanks for adding that!
You rock!
Appreciate you!
So I have the problem of several dry patches that need seeding as well as weeds in other parts of the lawn. Since the pre-emergent would inhibit grass growth should I just spot treat with the spray and do my overseeding rather than applying the granules to the entire lawn and then applying seed?
That’s prolly what I would do. Once you’ve got things filled in how ya want it then turn to the pre emergent. Thanks for watching.
Having St.Aug, it’s actually cheaper for me to go with a link from a certain tuber 😂 im trying hard to stay on budget
St. Aug is definitely a different animal. Gotta do what ya gotta do 😂😂Really appreciate ya watching and commenting as always! 👊
@@BudgetLawns ate my words overnight. Just found the 50#bag lesco preE at my big box store on sale for $30 lol. Half the price as all else
Did you build the retaining walls that are under construction in you're pre emergent video? Did you make a video for the walls? Thanks !
No I didn't build them. The back yard wall was installed by the builder. I hired someone for the front yard walls. There's not much I'm not willing to do myself, but that project was far too much. I did not do a video for the walls. I mentioned them in some and showed some progress but no how-tos. Hope this answers your questions. Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate you. Have a good weekend.
Have you seen any effects on Bermuda runners when applied in the spring?
Good question. It will inhibit runners from tacking down if you're trying to fill in dead spots from winter kill or spring dead spot. Unfortunately, it needs to be applied before the extent of any damage is determined during spring green up. So, if you have a history of spring dead spot, it may be worth not applying. Or trying to avoid those typical areas. Another tip I've heard is to cover those areas with a sand and Black Kow mixture to help the runners fill in even with pre-emergent. I've never done that but heard it really works. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and the question.
Here's a video I did on this topic from earlier this spring...
czcams.com/video/l8GT_-Mt2pc/video.html
Just get to it
Quit whining. It doesn’t help. Not here on CZcams or anything in life. Your impatience is a not a trait that goes well with lawn care. Good luck.
Good video. How long is a single treatment effective at preventing?
Thank you. The bag claims up to 5 months. That would be at the highest rate over the smallest area. I don’t like to chance that. I’d say it’s more in the 3-4 month range so I space my apps apart that far to keep me covered. I talk all about that in the video mentioned that’s linked in the description. Hope this helps. Appreciate ya watching and commenting.
I hope you realized that the Spectacide Weed stop has been out of stock almost full season and more likely discontinued this year. Am not sure were you got yours this 2023 summer or fall.
Just bought 2 bags this past Friday. It was stacked up at my local Lowe's. Regardless, these tips apply to any comparable pre-emergent. If they discontinue this one, I'm confident I'll see equal success not matter what brand I use next. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I’ve got tons near me
👍👍
I got mine. There's a whole palette at my Lowes
👍👍
Let me start by welcoming myself back 🤣..Dam T jus been stupid busy...anyway ...as usual simple , easy , practical "u get my point lol" explanation on how , why , when to get it done.... Now lets see who will use this advice to gain an advantage in the lawn game!!! "OH YES, ITS A DAM GAME" 🤪 best of luck to all , over-seed my front and side only because the voles have destroyed the back yard and I learned this one....when moles , voles etc tunnel in the lawn they wake up weed seeds!!!! Imagine that!!! wonder if the Dr has a witch Juice for that🤔😶🌫later!!
🤣🤣 hey buddy! Great to hear from you. I’ve been worried about ya. Was thinking I needed to send out a search crew. Glad to hear you’re doing well and just been busy. Hope the shop and lawn have been treating you well. Don’t let those critters get to ya. Thanks for watching and commenting man. Always fun to hear what you have goin one! 👊
🤣, yup all good buddy, have a great week@@BudgetLawns
Great video. Hi, I seeded this fall so, how long do I have to wait to put a pre-emergent down after the new plants go dormant during winter and continues their growth next year spring?
Thank you. You may wanna look into some more commonly used pre emergents for cool season seeding. With this one, I wouldn’t use it for the first year or so. Thanks for watching.
I'm in new york my lawn has allot of weed should i apply weed control now March .14.2024 ? 50-60f or should wait for hotter days in May ?
I prefer to wait until temps are warmer in the 70s. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video. To start off i live in Indiana. I do not have a green thumb in me whatsoever. So first off when you mow your lawn do you use the lowest setting on all 4 wheels? So i bought both bags and spray last year but never used them. As of today there are already quite a bit of dandelions and other annoying weeds in my lawn (both back and front yard) in the front i used the menards brand 1st app with crabgrass preventer about a week ago and it has been rained on. Can i use the herbicide or should i wait? In the backyard i just cut the grass today and soon after it rained so i was not able to put anything down. In this case what should i do? Do i use the herbicide bag or spray? Thanks again and sorry for long message lol.
Appreciate it. Have you identified your grass type first? That will help a lot.
@@BudgetLawns no I have not. How would i go about doing that?
Stop! Identify your GRASS TYPE with these 3 SIMPLE steps! Your lawn care journey must begin here!
czcams.com/video/F4Lc_7d3Z2Q/video.html
See if that helps.
@@BudgetLawns Cool 😎 season grass.
I figured that much in Indiana but what cool season grass.
I got some Scotts Winter Guard Feed & Seed on sale, how soon after that application could I put down the Spectracide as a pre-emergent?
Did you mean weed and feed? I don’t know much about the Scott’s products. But I’m assuming you’re just talking about a weed killer and fertilizer in one. In that case, you could apply the pre emergent anytime and water in if the product you already used doesn’t have one. Thanks so much for watching. Hope this helps.
@@BudgetLawns "Feed & Seed" 🙄🤭 Thanks for being a mind reader as well as an excellent Yard Man, this helps alot! 🤝🏾
Good for you to mention cultural practices. I typically havent and wont use any weed control that contains chemicals i cant pronounce. Certainly not any 2-4D or glyphosate.
I rarely use any weed killers on my grass. Actually, this summer was the first time in 5 years and all I did was spot spray a few small things.
Gotta be a story behind the Village Inn hat 🧢!!!
Definitely😆. First, I ate breakfast there the morning of my wedding almost 7 years ago. Second, I'm a teacher and reps from Village Inn were at a Back to School teacher event put on by our local Chamber of Commerce. They were letting folks spin a wheel for a chance to win a hat among other prizes. I reaaaaally wanted one. I love the restaurant and the hat is sweet I think. Told them I wanted it to wear on my CZcams channel and they hooked me up with it and a coffee mug. Love that place. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawns incredible story! Hope the school year is starting out well! Keep up the great content. Cool season guy from Kansas and I love the content
Thank you. It's going great. Appreciate your support of the channel. My middle name is Glen, btw. 👊👍
How do you get Bermuda dense? We just had some out in in June and it’s crunchy and not dense. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Mow, mow, and mow some more. That’s the key to thick Bermuda. And mowing a bit lower. Mowing Bermuda tall makes it leggier. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
@@BudgetLawns I’ll give that a try. Thank you
What if I am applying Weed Stop granule version in summer? My lawn isn't dewy during the morning. Also, if I am applying the granule version, do I need to water my grass?
Please suggest. What setting should set in my spreader? I have my backyard, frontyard and side yard 5500 sq ft.
What are you applying it for…pre or post emergent?
@@BudgetLawns I just Googled it and came across the difference between pre , post emergent.
“Pre-emergent weed controls work by preventing weeds from germinating in the first place, post-emergent weed controls kill weeds that have already come out of the ground.”
In my case, I used a weed puller in my backyard, so it’s free from weeds for now. But in my front yard, I have lots of weeds. Please suggest the process that I need to follow.
Follow the label instructions on the bag. Apply to damp grass and do not water in for post emergent control.
So how do you treat weeds on a new lawn?
Lots a videos on that topic from this playlist when I first built this house. I've had two homes built and tackled weeds the same way with lots of success. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

I live in N.Y. When is the best time to apply
Right before your 5-day average soil temperature reaches 55 degrees. Prolly at that already or getting close. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Thanks
? Lawn is full of weeds. Do I try to kill then all off and grow seed this fall or start the pre emergent routine now ? And feet the grass in spring
Lots of questions need to be answered first to give you the best help. Really depends on your location and grass you’re trying to grow.
@@BudgetLawns south nj. Black beauty ultra is my main grass blend
Fall is the best time to overseed a cool season lawn in your area. I’d get to it immediately if you’re going to. Time is almost up if not already. You really don’t have time to wait to kill the weeds first and don’t want to use pre emergent as it will keep the new grass from germinating. This process is usually started in august so it’s definitely late. Prolly not the answer you wanna hear but I hope it helps. Thanks so much for watching.
@@BudgetLawns honesty alway my friend ! Awesome advice and thank u
👍👍
When is the best time to apply Spectracide with Atrazine?
Applications are location and temperature dependent.
How about top dressing 🤔
Is it a bad idea to run this after applying a weed/feed? I was using the Bioadvanced 3-in1 and had quite a bit of crabgrass this pas summer because it was my first time and not using a lanscaper. Also do you have a recommendation on a spreader? I used a Scotts Whizz and did not like it. I am thinking of the Ryobi spreader. This is for a 4.4K lawn btw
That’s a lot of herbicide but I suppose you could if you need pre emergent. I use the Earthway evenspread. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
How much product should I buy though for the pre-emergent use? On the bag it says it treats up to 3,000 square feet, I have 25,000. So would I need 8-9 bags or should I get more or less?
This product is certainly more cost effective for smaller lawns. With that much space, you could probably find something to stretch your dollar further. However, I just follow the bag label with the 3k give or take a little. So in that case 8-9 sounds about right. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawns Thanks, maybe I can find something a little more cost effective.
I wanna use seeds but threw this product down today when can I throw seed on?
It can last up to 5 months depending on how heavy of a rate you put down. Do some test spots and see what happens. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawns is there any way to throw it down in a few weeks? I have a terrible front lawn that’s made up of mostly weeds which is why I threw this down :(
I would do a test spot before I threw a bunch of seed down. If the product was applied correctly, you may not have good results seeding.
@@BudgetLawns so what do you suggest? It’s a 3 in 1 product with seed and fertilizer and something else
@@BudgetLawns would you suggest seed first then how soon after the weed killer
Will this kill Dallas grass? Don’t see it on label but I’ve heard people say that if it’ll kill crab grass then it’ll kill dallis also
I've never used it on Dallisgrass, but if it's not on the label, it wouldn't kill it. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawns thanks
Are you still using 10-10-10 for your fertilizer to food your lawn?
Sure am. Started using another brand but essentially the same thing. I switched to Landscapers Select, so I could start buying it from my favorite local hardware store. As a bonus, the bags aren't all busted and wet like they usually are from Walmart. Thanks for watching.
OOS everywhere
Pallets of it everywhere in my area.
I've never understood the obsession with weed control in a yard. A garden yes, I can understand that, but to me as long as the yard is green in the summer...I don't care if its clover, wild strawberries, dandelions, crabgrass, chickweed or whatever, it looks better than bare dirt, lol.
I actually agree with you a bit. That's how I felt my first two years with my own lawn. However, I think for some people it's the challenge of getting rid of the weeds and keeping them away...something they've never been able to do before. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. Kinda like I'll never understand people's obsession with cars, boats, hunting, fitness, or other hobbies. Appreciate ya watching and sharing.
How do you know it works? Have you done a validated scientific test to prove this, with control group, double blinded, etc. Otherwise, it is merely rhetorical and anecdotal.
Yup, did all that.
🕺Larst🕺
😂Thanks man! Appreciate you!
Well said. I have used up all my products this season and my plan for next season is going back to the basics. Not knocking anyone or their products because everyone needs to make a living. I have used so many of them over the years with both good and not so good results. Next season it will be one fertilizer with no Phos. One pre - emergent , one fungicide and one pesticide all from the big box store. No more soil conditioners, iron applications or any other new be all to end all products planned for the 2024 season. New mission is to be a Budget Lawn lawncare person and save my money for other things in life 👍🏻💚🦸🏻♂
KISS… keep it simple Striperman 🤣🤣 that’ll be fun to see how that goes for ya next season. I’m gonna bet it’s gonna work out awesome. You know what you’re doing and don’t need the fancy stuff to have killer grass. Thanks for watching and sharing your plans. Appreciate ya bud.
Are you writing a novel here?😢
