How to protect lawn from Broadleaf Weeds before they appear in Spring?

Next spring i want to get ahead of the battle against broadleaf weeds (e.g. Dandelions and Thistle) and put something on my lawn before they start sprouting. I know to put a Fertilizer with Pre-Emergent but from what i understand pre-emergent is good at controlling Crabgrass and other leafy weeds but from what i have read using a mix that controls dandelions (and other leafy weeds) are only effective AFTER they have sprouted so as to stick to their leaves (when wet). Can i use a Weed and Feed on my lawn before these broadleaf weeds start to appear so as to protect against them ever appearing?

Yes, the best thing to use is Scotts Turfbuilder plus halts.





A pre-emergent gets the weeds BEFORE. Scotts works well on all types of weeds.
