I just got a pile of commercial sites that have obviously never been treated in any way for weed control. I am certain that pretty much any or all varieties of weeds are in there. What would be a good product to use to combat this infestation? Two of the areas are fescue and the others are bermuda. Ideas?

Same stuff you use to blanket treat your other lawns.

By the way do you have a license and if yes how long have you had it. :D

had it for two years but have not had to use it. Been doing ONLY installs. So i was not sure if there was something new on the market that stood above the rest.

I will have to agree with you on this one.

Lesco Threeway, Trimec 992, Momentum, Speedzone Southern.....all of these would be good options.

If the temps are cool when you apply, you might get better results with Speedzone Southern. Beware that if the Bermuda is still coming out of dormancy, some of these herbicides can stunt it temporarily. Using the lower rate on Bermuda right now is a good idea.

Also, if you happen to see crabgrass already, you might use Trimec Plus which has MSMA. It goes without saying that you should apply a pre-emergent in conjunction with this application. Dimension would be a good option for this time.

As TurfUnlimited already said READ THE LABEL.

You can be held liable if you kill the grass so make sure you have enough insurance for that type of situation.

Check with your local Lesco dealer if you have one in the area.

Fire RoundUp to it!

JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING, JUST JOKING

TRIMEC PLUS IS A GOOD START AS TURFUNLIMITED HAS SUGGESTED!
