Aubrey, TX Crabgrass Problems? Here’s What You Can Do Yourself—and What It Might Cost

1. Pre-Emergent Herbicides: Around $20–$40 Per Bag

Applying a quality pre-emergent in early spring is your first line of defense. For most yards in Aubrey, you’ll need 1–2 bags depending on square footage. Brands like Scotts or Lesco can do the job—just make sure it’s watered in right after.

2. Post-Emergent Spray: $15–$30 Per Bottle

Once crabgrass shows up, spot-treat with a selective post-emergent. Products like Ortho or Spectracide are commonly available, but make sure they’re safe for your grass type—especially in our clay-heavy soils that tend to stress easier.

3. Mower Tune-Up & Lawn Health: Variable Cost

Keep your mower blade sharp and cut high—this helps your grass grow thick and crowds out weeds. If you’re fertilizing, avoid high-nitrogen products too early or you’ll feed the weeds.

DIY vs. Pro Service

DIY can cost anywhere from $50 to $100+ for materials alone (not counting time or repeat applications). For some, it’s worth it. For others, professional treatment gives better results, faster—especially if your lawn’s already stressed or overrun.
