It sounds like you have a bad lawn guy. Your options are to try someone else or to fire him and take it on yourself. Good quality Scott's brand Weed & Feed should take care of it for you!

Hello. It sounds like your lawn was not treated properly. It could be that the chemical is not applied properly in the correct amount or it was not watered in. Weed management needs to be timed specific to growing season and applied correctly.

Here are some general recommendations It might help to identify where your pre-emergent lawn application went bad.

• Avoid using weed and feed products.
• There are products on the market without nitrogen fertilizer. Look for them in farm supply stores or independent hardware stores.
Weed and feeds are not recommended because they are applied in spring (we recommend that most lawn fertilizer be applied in fall) and can contribute to overfertilizing your lawn.
• Apply prior to seed germination. For crabgrass
• this begins when soil temperatures are above 55° to 60°F for 7 to10 days (during and shortly after, forsythia bloom is a rough, but not consistently reliable, guide for application timing).
• Water after application, according to label.
• A second application may be possible. Best
• for season-long control. Refer to the product label.
• Consult label for specific waiting period between
• application and overseeding.
• Only siduron (Tupersan) is labeled for application
• on newly seeded turf.

There is an excellent series on You Tube re: dealing with post emergent crabgrass, using a professional product now available to homeowners, called Tenacity. Follow the directions to the letter. You'll appreciate the results and may never use a lawn service, again.

In future years, the key to killing crabgrass is applying a pre-emergent in March( yard temps between 40 and 45 degrees), in many northern states. The problem is, many areas have rainy weather at that time, and your yard can become very soft.

Tenacity works well as a post emergent.
