How to Get Rid of Crabgrass so it Doesn’t Come Back (EASY DIY)

- Is your Lawn Always Full of WEEDS? In this video I will show you an easy and cheap DIY way to prevent WEEDS including CRABGRASS before they grow.
We will be using a pre emergent herbicide called Prodiamine also know as Barricade Herbicide . Prodiamine is a water-dispersible granular pre-emergent herbicide and it is what all lawn care & landscape professionals use to prevent weeds for their clients. It is labeled to control various lawn weeds such as CRABGRASS , CHICKWEED, SPURGE, ANNUAL BLUEGRASS AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER UNDESIRABLE GRASSES.
Prodiamine works by preventing the growth of seeds before they start to germinate. It will not kill existing weeds in your lawn, but will provide control for early spring and summer weeds for up to 6 months.
When to put down / apply pre emergent Weed Control ? The best time to apply pre emergent herbicide is when your soil temps are 50-55 degrees for at least 2-3 days in a row.
One of the most important steps to spring lawn care is weed prevention. Ive tried many different pre emergents available at Home Depot and lowes such as Scotts halts granular fertilizer and pre emergent (not to be confused with Scotts weed and feed ) , Tenacity pre emergent , organic pre emergent and lesco pre emergent . Those are all good choices but ive had the most success using prodiamine and feel it is the best pre emergent weed killer.

Awesome video George! Your such a goof ball! I love it 🥰
OUTSTANDING content young man! I'm in Whiting and crab grass invaded my front lawn and I need your help. Thank you
I'm subscribe and I'm following you for all my lawn care needs from now on. I'll be watching every video. I'm in Iowa and we have about the same weather and lawn situations. Just what I was looking for. Thanks
Great video George. I put it down last Thursday. Had great luck with it the last 3 years. Love the stuff.
Thanks Scott! Works extra well to keep out the neighbors weeds 😂😂😂
Thank you 4 sharing your ideas.
Its time 2 have a weed free lawn this summer. 🌿
I use prodiamine 65WG from Sunniland as a pre-emergent and I use Quinclorac from Quali-Pro. I like to use Southern AG surfactant I’ve had good results so when it broke don’t change it. Thanks I appreciate your knowledge reinforces some of what I know
👏🏻 great hosting. Facts here folks. Cool techniques
Well done as always, my friend! I see Ron in the background.
Lol thanks man! Was watching his stream and filming at the same time
Great video, George! Really good idea to split the product with others so you could take advantage of buying in bulk.
Thanks Chad!
You don’t even wanna see me inside a Costco! 😂😂😂
Very thorough video brother awesome job!
Been watching you, Lawncare Nut, and Ryan Knorr Lawn Care and you guys are all amazing. Little by little my lawn doesn't look like the worst kept lawn in my neighborhood. lol
That is awesome! If you get some free time, check out the live podcast i did with the lawn care nut! ruclips.net/video/eUrSr4RN5KQ/видео.html
Appreciate you stopping by!
Great video George. Your high energy made it that much more enjoyable. Truly like your vids. Keep it up!
Thanks papa! Appreciate that 😊
As you can tell I get a little too excited about my lawn 😂
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I understand. I’m more excited about my lawn this year than I have ever been. It’s looking great so far.
🌞Awesome video, George!! I see you watching Ron in the background! Pretty cool! 👍 Hope you have a great week! ⛳😎
Thanks sunny! I watch watching his stream and filming at the same time lol
Very helpful. Thank you.
Awesome man! Looking forward to your next vid!
Thanks man! Likewise my friend!
Yooooo my man! Been stalking you on here a while, but this one was great with the dry humor and second person recording. I subscribed with the Bill Nye robot dance moves! Good quality info! Keep it up bro! 👍
Thanks bro! thats alright! i was stalking the lawn community for 3 years straight before i even made a peep lol
Appreciate the compliment:) We love to add some humor and camera angles that arent done often to give our video depth, thank god my wife is willing to help out:)
Thanks for stoppin by dude! see you around
Love the video George. Thanks again.
Thanks oil! Much appreciated:)
Great video George! Got mine down on Friday!! Prodiamine is awesome!
Thanks Vince!
Dang! That was great content and well executed editing on videos as always my friend!
Thanks Francis! Had fun w this one!
They used to sell this product called Lesco Momentum. I loved it! It was great on all kinds of wide leaf weeds. One gallon of it lasted me 10 years. Now, that I ran out of it and it’s no longer available, I used Scott’s weednfeed and it sucked. All the dandelions are still there. Gotta look for a good alternative to Lesco Momentum.
Great video George. Spring is here!
Thanks Pat! im excited!
Thanks for the entertaining content George! Only a true LCN would watch a video while making a video 😎 That's efficient!!
Thanks Jayme! not just watching a video.. watching a lawn video while making a lawn video! LOL

Thanks man!
Excellent video. Thank you so much!
No problem! Thank you for watching!

Great one George!!! We're back in the 40s here but hopefully next week it will be done!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks Emilio! No rush, I applied mine a bit early lol
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Sick of waiting lol 🤣🤣 But we must
Dude your video keep get funnier every time awesome bro keep up the great work
Thanks man! Finally after 1 year, im getting more comfortable in front of the cam!
great video and great energy!
Thanks so much!
now you are my best you tuber. good info as awlaways , pal
Thank you sir! Really appreciate it
Dude you my friend have some catchy videos,, great info great video keep them coming you just got your self a subscriber
Awesome thank you!
Great video George! Man, everytime I seeyou garage, I think it's a showroom! #Organized !
All part of that ocd lawn mentality 😂😂😂
Always enjoy your videos George, thanks! For me, I am stuck on the old school Scott’s pre-emergent, and put it down when the forsythias begin to bloom. Results are not as long as your recommended plan, meaning I have to buy new stuff every 60-90 days. You did convince me last year to try Tenacity, it worked like a charm!
Thanks mr h!
If I’m not mistaken the Scott’s halts preemmergent also contains prodiamine, just a lower concentration. Which would make sense why you have to apply more often. I’m glad the tenacity worked out:)
I appreciate you tunin back in 😊
Tenacity
Great video George!
Thank you sir!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video, thanks for the info.
No problem bud
Well done George 👊🏼😎
Thanks nate!
Your videos are very addictive....
Fantastic video!
Thanks dennis!, much appreciated!
These aren't just videos George. They have become events :) Well done sir. Waiting on the next event.
Keith! Wow, what an awesome compliment, appreciate it bro 😎
I'm enjoying every single one
Another great video! And - you guessed it - another newbie question. We just bought a house with nice landscaping. A lot of the yard is gravel or cedar mulch. And, you guessed again again, weeds are popping up through the gravel and mulch. Right now, we're battling them with speedzone and tenacity (as per your suggestion), but will prodiamine prevent this problem next season?
Nice work!! Lawn season is baacckk!!
Yes! Thank you!
George? Can you make a video on how to clean the sprayer after using either herbicide, fertilizer etc? Or maintenance of equipment. Thanks.
Dude your little sub text comments. “Taking your lady to the red lobster (I see you guys) “ is really fun lol.
haha thanks jake, appreciate that boss
😂😂😂 At 3:11 in the video. Thanks for the subtle shout out George. Great video. Your content keeps improving with each video. 🙏😎
Thanks Ron!
Any one reading this, head on over to Ron Henry’s channel for awesome reel mowing content and weekly live streams!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks so much George. Appreciate the support.
Great video my friend, like always you short sweet and to the point. 😎🌴
Thanks man, i try to cut the fluff lol
George, can you do a video review of that back pack sprayer? Accessories: aluminum boom, spraying tips, pressure regulator etc? Thanks
Great job 👍
Thanks 😊
U da man, George!
So are you Seal!
How the hell did you get me to subscribe to a lawncare channel? Your stuff is amazing.
Bravo 👏
Good stuff! I was D-Line, so I get the analogy! 😂 👊
Lol I’m glad someone understood my lame joke 😜
Great info man! I gotta get my application down soon!
Thanks bro, we still got a bit of time:)
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Yeah, it will be soon boi!
@@YardGuy hopefully this video served as a reminder 😂
You are knocking me out with production value! Good content to boot. 😀
Thanks Russ 🙏
"i was O line" 💀💀 great video brother!
Lmao, thanks!
You know damn well if I could even get these products I’d forget my PPE 🤣, great video George, I’m getting very excited for my lawn care season but I still have lots of snow on the ground....and it snowed last night...again lol 🤷🏼♂️
Oh yea, you guys don’t even have pre em available up there right?
How do you guys prevent weeds?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I haven’t even tried because I’m always seeding in the spring, primary goal is to get the grass growing well enough to choke out the weeds!
I wish I could post before after pics of my lawn. Crabgrass all over and when i took it over it was looking like the Augusta Nationals!
George, quick question. You stated 5.2 grams per 1000 ft. Is that 2 gal? Trying to play it safe with asking questions rather than asking why things went wrong. 🙂 Thanks again, love the information. Keep up the great work.
I want to overseed again next spring so I guess I won’t be able to apply a pre emer. Maybe instead over over seeding I should apply my pre emer and just push the Bermuda with fertilizer every few weeks.
Omg thank you.
You're welcome! thanks for watching!
Should I apply this pre-emergent first, then fertilize then use the herbicide combo in your other video? I'm planning to do these in March (Im in Central Valley CA)
How long should I wait to fertilize after pre-emergent application?
Thanks in advance. I love all your videos, very informative.
Awesome stuff George! I got down my prodiamine and Greene Punch this past Saturday should have a video on Wednesday or Thursday.. oh also I have something fun coming up.. ALL I'm gonna say
Are you getting a reel mower????🤫
Nope but a good guess tho! You'll see the video in about 2 weeks.. hopefully. I got one more and then that video. All I'm going to say is that its a new series that will provide me with more content. I'm trying not go spoil it too much but it has been in the works since January and I've had a hard time keeping my mouth shut about it😂
Lol now I wanna know!
Lol surf & turf. Awesome!
Only the best for the wifey
Great content as aways.
A related story is I was able to apply a pre- emergent(Prodiamine granular)to my front yard in late winter early spring (February for us here in Kentucky) but was not able to to apply to back yard.
My family and I were concerned for the pets. And I got busy and never got to it.
Well I'm paying the price now. My front yard is amazing 👏. I do have some spots that I have to spot spay but for the most part a 100% difference from last year. Now my back yard is embarrassing to say the least.
Today I made arrangements for my puppy and cats while I blanket sprayed the back yard.
I used a mix of tenacity and speed zone, wish me luck.
I will not go another season
without a pre-emergent.
I look forward to following the results of your KBG.
Those two are a KILLER combo, speedzone is by far the best herbicide for leafy weeds and that tenacity will take care of the grassy stuff.
Your backyard will be lookin primo in no time!
Thanks for sharing!
When you put pre-emergent down weeds still grow. The pre-emergent stop cell division killing the weed on tiller stage 1
What months are the best for pre and post emergent? I planted my grass over 1month ago with a Scotts turf 3 in 1, so some weed control, but I see small sprouts of weeds coming in.
Where in Chicago? Im in the south burbs, and I just bought a home so definitely viewing all your videos and trying to get rid of the crap I got. Any advice on leveling? I got pockets and slopes assuming old homeowners dogs make the holes.
naperville area, before you level i rec you get your lawn in tip top shape.
Control weeds and fertilize and by the time fall gets here youll be ready to go!
I've watched several of you videos, I think this is my 3rd question... Can you mix Tenacity and Prodiamine? Old field, lots of Crab Grass and Biggest Problem is Bermuda Grass. Trying to achieve Tall Fescue yard ,one acre, East Tennessee
great video. One thing I am unclear about is when to do this preemergent vs top dressing and overseeding.
Thanks Ivan if you plan on seeding or have seeded already.. you do not want to apply this type of preemmergent. If you are just top dressing then it would be better to apply afterwards.
Tips for getting rid of fescue?
Hilarious and informative. Ever have trouble with that sprayer. I bought one that doesn’t work and currently working with customer service on a replacement.
Thanks Tom! Appreciate that😊
Never had any issues with it, but with any battery sprayer.. you want to make sure to never run the pump dry as that can break them real fast
Recommend Shindaiwa 5 gal if you’re looking for a manual. Had one for many years with no issues. Not sure if they make an automatic. Eliminates the need for dumbbell work, at least for your left arm:)
I do preemergent when I see the robins in the yard
Bill.. Bill.. Bill.. Bill... nice bro! 👍
Lol thanks jb! Still waitin on your big surprise 😜
@@PrincessCutLawnCare 👍 about two more weeks and it’ll be out! Gotta upload a video on a Toyota Supra first. Stay tuned!
George great videos brother. How are you liking the 105 ex? Looking to be my next purchase.
Thanks JP much appreciated bro 😎
I like the 105ex! Only charged the battery twice in the past year and half 👍👍
Where’s the best place in Chicago to get quality top soil and mason sand. I’m up here in the North Side! GO CUBBIES! Thanks, George!
Hey neighbor! i wish i could give out my guys info, but i referred so many ppl to him he made me stop lol
But i could recommend that you call around and see who has the finest screens avail, no more then 1/2in screen if your rotary mowing and 1/4in if your reel mowing.
Some places have a physical location you can go to and check out the material yourself. last thing you have is to order a truck load of sticks and rocks!
Hi there.. great informative video about lawn care.. I just finished aerate and detaching here in North east .. I have weeds and patches and thin dry grass.. just wondering should I put Scott seeds first and then put weed killer tenacity or put week killer tenacity first and then wait for two weeks before seeding ? Please advise thanks in advance
Hi Moe! Thanks for the question! You can apply tenacity the same day you seed your lawn. See this video i made on how to seed a lawn, i applied tenacity the same day i seeded and it turned out great!
ruclips.net/video/aUwzvCL-Joo/видео.html
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thank you so much Sir.. appreciate it .. one last question .. after I aerate, detach and put seeds should I put hay grass or sand or soil or fertilizer? Please suggest and then apply tenacity?
Great content! I have a question, sorry if this is a duplicate. I applied my pre-emergent late and got a good amount of crabgrass and dandelions here in Detroit. What's the best product to use to kill those now? You have some vids where u say tenacity granules is better than liquid? Any other considerations? Thanks
Thanks boss! check out this video where i apply a herbicide combo that will kill both crabgrass and dandelions ruclips.net/video/89WjJjsWCmY/видео.html
Hi! Thanks for the helpful video. I'm trying to figure out what to use this year. Our lawn is 50,000 sq ft, Southern NH. I think I'm going to order Prodiamine for pre- emergent and was thinking of also getting Tenacity. Should I apply both products at the same time? Also we have A LOT of yellow nutsedge all over the lawn so I think Tenacity would take care of it? Thanks!
Hi Allison! No problem:)
Prodiamine will definitely be a must for preventing weeds on such a large property. Nutsedge can be tough to control with out specialty products, tenacity would not be my first choice for nutsedge. I would look into a herbicide called sedgehammer. I would apply prodiamine first, let the rain water it in and then apply sledgehammer once dry, you will have great results:)
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thank you!!!
No problem! Be sure to add a surfactant to the mix of sedgehammer, it’s a pricey product and you want to make sure it stick to the leafs properly.
Is it possible to use a hose end sprayer to spray tenacity and what rate? I have a lot of yard so trying to take an easier route for mass coverage with the least amount of effort lol
I would not use hose end, application rate is 1/2 teaspoon per 1k sqft, you need to use an accurately calibrated sprayer
Great stuff George! Sweet shades haha
Thanks man!
They are my wife’s 😂😂😂
Hello PCLC, What's a good post emergent? My lawn is filled with spurge and green layer on top of the soil.
speedzone
what's the best soil applied TeeJet nozzle? Also, best foliar?
Hey Anthony, I made a video that specifically answers your question: m.ruclips.net/video/1-E3T0bk4DM/видео.html
Hey boss I have a lot of weeds at my new place In Indiana but it’s hot as heck right now should I spray the weeds or wait till it cools down
Wait, you will kill your lawn in these temps
I built a new home and had the backyard (full of trees) cut down and removed all stumps, and graded November 2020. There are a lot of weeds back there right now. It's September 2021 and I'm about to aerate my backyard, put down some lime, starter fertilizer, fescue seeds, and some Milo. Do you think this will help start a lawn back there, or do I need to do something different?
Hi ron, thanks for the question. you will not want to use this when seeding as it will prevent your seeds from sprouting. instead use a herbicide called tenacity as its the only once you can use while seeding. good luck
If I over seed in the fall, can I do this in the spring?
I wouldn’t as it can cause root pruning applying sooner then 1 year post germination.You would be better off pulling weeds and spot spraying them with weed be gone.
Although I will admit I’ve seen ppl do it
Hi George, which tip do you recommend I use on my sprayer to spray tenacity on my lawn?
Thank you!
Hi Carlos, it depends.. are you using the tenacity as a pre emergent or a post emergent?
I’m over seeding so both
@@CarlosAguilar-uc8jo since your seeding it will be mostly as a preemmergent so I would use the teejet aixr11004vp which will introduce air into the droplets so it can make its way down to the soil easier
Awesome thank you! I’m big fun can’t wait to see your vids this season
Can I use Prodiamine in my Liriope garden?
No you will want to use a preemmergent specifically meant for ornamentals
Im here for the Dad New Balances ☝🏻
I refuse to wear anything else
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Tyx for the crab grass Info. I currently have done popping up in my lawn- spraying prediamine will help out ? Thx you
A vapor barrier ?
Past midsummer, better late than never lol

Preparing for my Cal Trimmer to be delivered I’ve been cutting my midnight kbg down to ~1.75 with a push reel and the color is awful! I gave it a light dose of Iron but it still looks terrible (to me). My neighbor has KY31 and his appears darker than my kbg??? This is my 7th mowing so the grass is use to the height.
congrats on the cal trimmer, thats gonna be a fun piece of equipment!
Gotta be patient with the kbg, it takes a season or two to really darken up. Ryan knorr sowed the kbg on the side of his house 2 seasons ago and its finally starting to look good just now
Thanks! I’ll ride it out.
so...overseed in the fall and pre-emergent right before spring....right?
yessir!
Hello I live in Florida can I use that in warm season grass
Hi Frank! Yes you can use this on warm season grass 👍 no worries
Thank you sir
What is the best grass seed for heat tolerance ? Tall fescue? Thank you
yes tall fescue, united seed makes some of the best, specifically their "titanium 2ls" variety
@@PrincessCutLawnCare for some reason some of my lawn is not absorbing the water when I water. Its running off and the grass is sod from last year. I just got some loam and I be spread that onto the grass. The grass is also slumped over not staying upright. Very strange. I will aerate this mid to late September but it's all loam underneath. Would love to understand why water is not penetrating to the Roots. Thank you
@@PrincessCutLawnCare where can I purchase??
Is that your new Sony Cam?
Half of the footage is, where I’m sitting next to my desk in the garage
But - is it poison? Would you use it near a garden?
Will tenacity take care of already existing crab grass? I failed to remember to get my prodiamine out in time and I’m several weeks past my spring window. 🤦🏼♂️
Yes it will, if you havent seeded... i would apply quinclorac instead of tenacity, will work better and faster --> amzn.to/330Fy9n
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thank you!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare what sucks is I sprayed with 2-4D about two weeks ago and the average weeds are all dying off but it doesn’t seem to have phased the dang crab grass. I love your videos btw.
Is Tenacity a good choice for a preemergent versus the prodiamine?
Do you plan on seeding?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare no, not until the fall
I would definitely use prodiamine then, you will get 3-6 months coverage vs 30 days w tenacity
Do you have to apply pre- emergent every year?
If you want 100 percent control then yes, but i used it for a few years in my front yard and how i dont have too any more as i dont get weeds up there anymore. Once your lawn is healthy, thick and weed free... you will rarley get weeds
