Top 10 Lawn Pre Emergents
for March 2023

To keep your grass green and lush, you need to mow, fertilize, water and maintain it. But maintenance can be a hassle, especially if you live or work somewhere where the weather is extreme. A lawn pre emergent can help protect your grass from insects, weeds and diseases by stopping them in their tracks.

Lawn pre emergents come in a variety of forms, including granular and liquid pre emergents, and as liquid concentrates.

We tested granular lawn pre emergents by pouring a measured amount onto each lawn sample, then watering it in. We then evaluated each lawn sample for appearance, color, fertility and vigor to determine how well the lawn pre emergent worked. We also evaluated lawn pre emergents for ease of use by pouring a full 16-ounce bottle onto a lawn sample and measuring how much product it took to cover the sample, determining how easy it was to dispense exactly how much product you needed.
