- 1). Try to remove crabgrass when it first appears in early spring. Definitely remove crabgrass before it sets seed to prevent multiple problems in the future.
- 2). Water the area where the crabgrass is growing. Weeds will pull out from the soil much easier if the soil is damp.
- 3). Alternatively, use a weed knife. Slip the blade under the roots of the crabgrass. Lift with the knife as you pull on the foliage of the crabgrass. The crabgrass should slip easily from the soil - roots and all. For large clumps, use a shovel or a hoe instead of the weed knife.
- 4). Mulch the soil where you have removed the crabgrass to prevent new weeds from growing.
- 5). Use chemical controls only as a last resort. Non-selective herbicides such as Round-Up or Finale will kill crabgrass, but other plants are also susceptible to these herbicides.
