In Wylie, Texas, winter doesn’t always feel like winter — but weeds don’t need cold weather to thrive.
While your lawn may slow down during the cooler months, winter weeds are just getting started. If you want a healthier, cleaner lawn when spring arrives, the time to act is now with a winter pre-emergent treatment.

What Is Winter Pre-Emergent Treatment?
Winter pre-emergent is a preventative lawn application that stops cold-season weeds before they germinate. In North Texas, weeds begin sprouting as soil temperatures drop in late fall and early winter — often before homeowners realize anything is happening.

This treatment creates a protective barrier in the soil that blocks weeds before they ever break through the surface.

Common winter weeds in the Wylie area include:

• Poa annua (annual bluegrass)
• Henbit
• Chickweed
• Spurweed
• Clover

Once these weeds appear, they’re much harder to control and can quickly take over thin or dormant turf.

Why Timing Matters in Wylie’s Climate
North Texas weather is unpredictable. Warm days followed by cool nights create ideal conditions for winter weed germination.

Pre-emergent treatment must be applied before weeds sprout to be effective. Waiting until weeds are visible means they’ve already taken hold beneath the surface.

Applying winter pre-emergent now helps protect your lawn during the exact window when winter weeds in Wylie are most active.

What Happens If You Skip Winter Pre-Emergent?
Without pre-emergent protection, winter weeds gain a head start while your grass is dormant. By early spring, those weeds are already established and competing for nutrients, water, and sunlight.

Skipping winter pre-emergent treatment can result in:

• Heavy weed growth in early spring
• More post-emergent treatments later
• Thinner, weaker grass
• Higher long-term lawn care costs

A Better Spring Lawn Starts in Winter
A thick, healthy spring lawn doesn’t happen by accident. Winter pre-emergent treatment helps ensure your turf is ready to grow when temperatures warm up — without fighting weeds that should have never been there.
