Bonide Duraturf Crabrass & Weed Preventer 4 lb

Getting ahead of lawn and garden weeds before they ever have a chance to sprout is the single best way to maintain a pristine property. Here at Kent Countryside, we highly recommend Bonide® DuraTurf® Crabgrass & Weed Preventer as an essential tool for your spring landscaping checklist.

Powered by premium Dimension® herbicide, this selective pre-emergent creates an invisible barrier in your soil that stops crabgrass, annual bluegrass, and common broadleaf weeds from germinating. What makes this formula a favorite for our crews is its incredible versatility—it can be applied safely both across your established lawn turf and directly within your ornamental landscape beds around your flowers, shrubs, and trees. Furthermore, it can be applied up to 4 weeks later into the spring than standard preventers and still effectively catch early-stage crabgrass.

Pro-Tips from Kent Countryside Nursery:

  • The New York State Rate Rule: Local expert regulatory note! While this product is fully approved for use here in Carmel and across New York State, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) enforces a specific regional limit on the annual application rate. In the state of New York, do not exceed 2.1 lbs. of product per 1,000 square feet per year. Be sure to calibrate your spreader correctly to stay compliant while protecting your turf.

  • The Magic of Early Post-Emergence: Did you miss the traditional early spring pre-emergent window? Don't panic. Because this formula contains Dimension®, it provides a unique fallback benefit. If crabgrass has just barely sprouted but hasn't started to mature or spread yet (up to 4 weeks after germination), this product will still successfully knock it out.

  • Safe for Landscaping, Not for Food: This formula is highly selective, meaning it will not harm your established ornamental trees, hydrangeas, perennials, or boxwood hedges when applied over the top or around them as directed. However, do not apply this to any backyard vegetable patches, fruit gardens, or herbs, and avoid using it on newly seeded lawns until the fresh grass has been mowed at least twice.
