Ever So Green Reminds Livingston County Homeowners: April Showers Bring Crabgrass
Michimich.com/10326636

HOWELL, Mich. - Michimich -- April showers bring May flowers! But they also bring crabgrass season. The warm sunshine and rainy conditions that signal spring's arrival in Livingston County are the same conditions that trigger crabgrass seeds to germinate, and homeowners who delay treatment until summer have already missed the most effective window for crabgrass prevention.

Why April Is the Most Critical Month for Crabgrass Control

Crabgrass seeds germinate when soil temperatures consistently reach approximately 50°F — a threshold that typically arrives in late March or early April in southeast Michigan. Once the seeds sprout, pre-emergent herbicides are no longer effective. Professional lawn care companies like Ever So Green monitor soil temperatures closely to apply treatments at exactly the right time, before the germination window opens.

A single untreated crabgrass plant can produce up to 150,000 seeds before dying in the fall, meaning the problem compounds each year it goes unaddressed. Early spring is the only opportunity to break that cycle before another season of infestation begins.

Ever So Green's Spring Crabgrass Prevention Program

Ever So Green, a professional lawn care company in Livingston County (https://www.eversogreen.net/), serving southeast Michigan since 1997, is now scheduling spring crabgrass prevention applications for the 2026 season. The program includes:

• Weather-timed pre-emergent herbicide applications based on actual soil temperatures
• Full-season fertilization to build dense, weed-resistant turf
• Broadleaf weed control to address additional spring weed pressure
• Aeration and tailored midseason follow-ups as needed

The treatment window is narrow and shifts year to year based on weather, and professional scheduling ensures homeowners get maximum protection without missing the critical early-spring timeframe.
