I want to apply crabgrass preventer very soon but I also want to apply weed killer for clover, dandelions, etc. How can I do both and when? Thanks for your help, this is a great service. Jerry

Crabgrass pre-emergent products need to be applied within a strict time window, and that time frame is ending within a day or two. If you want to prevent crabgrass, this should be your first action. The University of Minnesota recommends that chemical treatment of lawn weeds take place in the fall. You can hand dig them at any time.
