If the lawn had crabgrass last year, apply a combination fertilizer with a pre-emergent. In late spring (April to June), the growing grass is using stored energy, which necessitates another feeding. If broadleaf weeds are growing too, then feed the lawn with a combination fertilizer with broadleaf weed control (a “weed-and-feed” product).
