March 5-15 is when you need to get down a pre emergent weed killer. This is the weed killer for grassy weeds, like crabgrass and dallis grass. Wait until later and you might was well save money and skip it - the grassy weeds will already be germinated.

Don't use a weed and feed. The fertilizer will just wash away since the grass won't use it yet. Never do fertilizer until your yard is actively growing. For my St. A, that'll be around April 15 - May 1.

If you have leafy weeds, like henbit and dandelions, use a 2-4,D locally on them. They're easy to see right now since your yard is still dormant.

I backed mine up to March 1. Sperry always says better to be a week early than a day late & I'm tired of Poa Annua laughing at my pre emergent.

I put down hi yield w / dimension last week & watered it into my lawn. I feel like I'm always guessing on this bull**** but hoping I did well.

I have St Aug as well - what exactly do you plan to put down?

I just use the Lesco pre-emergent from Home Depot. Put it down two weeks ago because it's unseasonably warm this spring. Will do fertilizer later.

Put down Halts yesterday ahead of this week's rain event.

My Bermuda is already starting to green up in spots here in Aledo.
