Product Overview
Unlike other products, our preventer contains an advanced herbicide known as Dimension® that provides post-emergent control, killing crabgrass after it has germinated. Post-emergence control is limited to crabgrass and is effective for up to four weeks post-germination. Please note, it will only kill the plant up to the 3-leaf stage of growth; a fully mature crabgrass plant has 7 leaves.

When to Apply
For best results, apply in the spring prior to the germination of crabgrass and other grassy weeds. Crabgrass germinates once soil temperatures reach 55°F, so it is best to apply when air temperatures are between 50 – 75°F.

Use With Other Products
We don’t recommend applying two of our weed controls or fertilizers together, as you risk burning your lawn. You can, however, apply two of these products together if one has fertilizer and the other one doesn’t. This product offers crabgrass control and fertilizer. The rule of thumb is: if two products have different functions, it is usually possible to apply them together.
Apply to Dry or Damp Lawn
Apply to a dry lawn a day or two after mowing.
Safe for Children & Pets
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours for people and pets to enter the treated area after application to allow the product to activate. After applying Veri-Green Crabgrass Preventer plus Lawn Fertilizer, water your lawn to move the fertilizer to the roots. Once the grass has dried, people and pets are safe to re-enter the lawn area.
Follow all label directions for products that contain pesticide controls for re-entry instructions. All control products have been screened by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are properly labeled for use on lawns or gardens. Please read and follow all label directions.
Time Release
25% Slow release: feeds the lawn for 3 months.
How Often to Apply
We recommend applying this fertilizer and pre-emergent once per year in spring. For severe infestations, a second application may be applied in 30 days.
Shelf Life
Our recommendations for storing your crabgrass preventer and fertilizer:

Keep bags (especially that have already been opened) containing unused product in a locked storage area inaccessible to children and pets. Do not store near feed or foodstuffs.To prevent cross-contamination, do not store near open containers of fertilizer, seed or other pesticides. Under these conditions, fertilizer will last at least two years.

Can I use Veri-Green with Crabgrass Preventer and Lawn
Weed Control at the same time?Yes, if you apply Veri-Green Crabgrass Preventer plus Lawn Fertilizer first, water it in and then apply Lawn Weed Control while the lawn is still wet. Aim for a day where no rain is forecast for 48 hours and temperatures are under 85° and not humid for 48 hours after the herbicide application.
What is the difference between Veri-Green with Crabgrass Preventer and Season-Long Weed Preventer?
Veri-Green Crabgrass Preventer plus Lawn Fertilizer is a 2-in-1 product that kills crabgrass and fertilizes the lawn. This product acts as a pre-emergent for broadleaf weeds and a pre-and post-emergent for grassy weeds like crabgrass (up to the 3-leaf stage). Do not seed with this product as it will kill your grass seedlings.
Season-Long Weed Preventer: This is a pre-emergent product for broadleaf weeds and a pre- and post-emergent for crabgrass. There is no fertilizer in this product so it can be applied in the heat of the summer. Do not seed with this product as it will kill your grass seedlings.
For lawns with crabgrass issues, we advise applying Season-Long Weed Preventer in the beginning of June to lengthen the crabgrass prevention window of product applied in March or April. Because it has no fertilizer, it does not interfere with any other lawn application.

How to Apply
Apply
- We recommend using a spreader to evenly distribute crabgrass control and fertilizer onto your lawn.
- Check to make sure the spreader opening at the bottom of the hopper is closed.
- Set the spreader according to the recommended setting on the packaging or use our Spreader Settings Tool above.
- Push the lever forward only when ready to spread.
- Apply crabgrass control and fertilizer around the perimeter of the lawn to establish a turning area. Then run the spreader back and forth within the area outlined by your first perimeter application. Always allow an overlap to avoid gaps in coverage.
Post-Application
- Sweep any excess granules off of hard surfaces and back onto the lawn.
- Thoroughly irrigate the treated area after application for best results.
- Once watered, wait a day to mow the lawn allowing the product time to activate.
- Do not seed for 3 to 4 months after application.
