When Is the Best Time for Weed Control in Saskatchewan?

The best time to apply weed control in Saskatoon is in the spring, summer, or fall.

Timing is very important for prairie lawns.

Weeds won't grow if you apply them in the spring. Pre-emergent treatments stop seeds from growing, while post-emergent treatments kill weeds that are already there.

To keep lawns clear all season, experts say to stop weeds from growing early in the spring before they start to grow.
