Dallisgrass Control

Dallisgrass forms thick clumps and can take over thin or stressed turf. Our service includes up to 2 spray treatments per year to help suppress growth and reduce regrowth.

Up to 2 sprays
Seasonal control
Targeted clumps
Focused applications
What’s included
  • Up to 2 dallisgrass spray treatments per year
  • Targeted applications to affected clumps and spread zones
  • Timing based on growth stage and seasonal conditions
  • Clear post-treatment instructions after each visit
Best for
Lawns with visible dallisgrass clumps, recurring summer grassy weed growth, or thin turf where it spreads.

Up to two treatments per year

Dallisgrass often needs repeat treatments. We start with a primary application and follow up if needed.

Treatment 1
Primary Dallisgrass Spray
Targets actively growing dallisgrass during the most effective seasonal window for control.
Treatment 2
Optional
Follow-Up Spray (as needed)
A second application later in the season helps improve control and reduce regrowth.
What to expect
  • Dallisgrass is a tough perennial grassy weed and can take time to suppress.
  • You may see gradual decline rather than an immediate “overnight” result.
  • Heavy or mature clumps may require additional follow-up in a future season.
  • Best results come from combining control with thicker, healthier turf.
Why dallisgrass shows up
  • Thin turf or stressed lawn areas
  • Compacted soil and heavy traffic
  • Warm-season stress (summer growth)
  • Disturbed soil (grading, construction, fill)
  • Inconsistent mowing or mowing too low

FAQ

Is dallisgrass the same as crabgrass?
No. Crabgrass is an annual grassy weed. Dallisgrass is typically a perennial that comes back from established clumps, which is why it can be harder to control.
When is the best time to treat dallisgrass?
Usually when it’s actively growing during the warm season. Timing matters, so we schedule based on conditions for the best response.
Will two treatments remove it completely?
Two treatments can provide strong suppression, but no program can guarantee complete elimination—especially with mature clumps. Some lawns need additional follow-up or renovation for the cleanest results.
What helps keep it from returning?
Maintaining dense turf, avoiding scalping, reducing compaction, and fixing underlying stress can help prevent dallisgrass from spreading or returning.
