Getting Rid of Spotted Spurge and Crab Grass?

Both of these weeds get into my fescue lawn this time of year. Is there anything I can do to rid my lawn of these weeds? Weed killers or weed preventors kill the weeds, but also cause the grass to die and it is then hard to regrow.

I don't know what you're doing wrong, but weed killers such as 2-4-d amine when properly applied, will not harm established fescue grass. Crab grass killer, on the other hand, can hurt fescue grass.

The best way to get rid of these weeds is to prevent them in the first place. Halts is a very effective pre emergence. It will prevent the germination of the seeds of these two annual weeds. It should be applied twice each year. Check with your local county agricultural agent for the best times to apply Halts in your area.
