Weeds compete with your lawn for water, nutrients, and sunlight, which can weaken turf and allow additional weeds to become established. In Alabama’s climate, weed growth can occur through much of the year, making proper timing and a planned approach important for effective control.
Turf by Pest Pro provides professional weed control using commercial grade products, correct application rates, and seasonally timed treatments. Our goal is to control existing weeds, prevent new growth, and support a healthier, thicker lawn that can better compete on its own.

Pre-Emergent Weed Control
The most effective weed control happens before weeds emerge. Pre-emergent herbicides create a barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating. We apply pre-emergent treatments in late winter/early spring (for summer weeds) and early fall (for winter weeds), timed to the soil temperatures that trigger germination in Montgomery.
Post-Emergent Weed Control
For weeds that break through or weren't present during pre-emergent applications, we apply targeted post-emergent herbicides. These products kill existing weeds without harming your turf, when applied correctly. We select herbicides based on the specific weed species and your grass type.
Crabgrass - The #1 summer weed in Alabama lawns
Dallisgrass - Clumping grass weed with distinctive seed heads
Nutsedge - Yellow or purple grass-like weed that thrives in wet areas
Spurge - Low-growing weed that spreads rapidly in summer heat
Chamberbitter - Mimosa-like weed common in Alabama lawns
Henbit — Purple-flowering winter annual
Chickweed — Low-growing mat-forming weed
Poa annua (Annual Bluegrass) — Light green grass weed that dies in summer
Dandelions — Classic yellow-flowering broadleaf weed
Clover — Three-leaf weed that indicates low nitrogen
Dollarweed — Round-leaf weed common in wet, shady areas
Wild violet — Heart-shaped leaves with purple flowers

Stop fighting a losing battle against weeds. Call TURF by Pest Pro at 334-265-9990 for professional weed control that actually works. We'll assess your lawn, identify the weeds you're dealing with, and create a control plan that delivers results.
Pre-emergent herbicides prevent germination of seeds — they don't kill existing weeds or perennial weeds that return from roots. Some breakthrough is normal. We follow up with post-emergent treatments to address any weeds that appear.
A: Not when applied correctly. We select herbicides that target specific weeds while being safe for your grass type. This is why professional application matters — incorrect products or rates can damage turf.
Most weeds begin showing effects within 7-14 days. Complete death may take 2-3 weeks. Some stubborn weeds require multiple treatments. We'll return for follow-up applications as needed.
