Growing spine-like tiers, flat blades and branches reaching out as far as they can; nobody likes crabgrass in their lawn. It’s a pesky summer weed that germinates in late spring or early summer and never seems to go away. However, with the right fertilization program that includes pre-emergent application at the right time, the germination of this and other unsightly weeds will be dramatically reduced.
Pre-emergent alone is not a fertilizer; it is an herbicide which helps to prevent weed seeds from germinating by blocking an essential enzyme. It does not necessarily stop the germination process, but does prevent the weed from breaking through its barrier and emerging in the lawn. This herbicide needs a substance to bind with for the application process. The agent frequently used to bind with pre-emergent is fertilizer. This is sometimes referred to as weed and feed due to the weed seed prevention components, as well as the beneficial fertilization
Pre-emergent are chemicals that create a barrier in your lawn’s soils to prevent weeds from germinating. This provides us with a way to attack weeds before they can even establish themselves.
The effectiveness of this product is dependent on timing. Fall and Winter fertilization program applications are crucial to keep your lawn free of weeds during the Columbus, GA Spring and Summer.

Summer months call for lush green grass and cannon balls into a refreshing pool, right? This is exactly what our client wanted to accomplish when they came to us with one of our most recent back yard renovation projects. Outdoor Solutions of Columbus specializes in landscaping in Columbus, GA spanning out to LaGrange and Phenix City.
Before:
This particular customer had recently installed a pool in their backyard and the construction left the yard lacking. Our client had a vision and as we strategized and discussed what the right landscaping was to complement the beautiful pool, we were able get a deep understanding of what our client wanted for their newly landscaped back yard.
One of the details that stood out most in this renovation was the use of the stones as a pathway. Landscaping stones can be used together to form a decorative walkway, a formal patio, or give a warm cottage-type feel to a backyard.
Creating even a small patio in the backyard, similar to the one that Outdoor Solutions planted on this project, can help make the area more inviting, and can provide a place for shade and relaxation during those warmer days. Bricks can also be used as edging around planting areas to prevent grass from invading or to keep the creeping habit of certain plants to a minimum.
After:
Outdoor Solutions was able to take a vision and complete the backyard oasis this customer was dreaming of just in time for spring and summer.
