Is it generally true that spring is the best time for controlling weeds and Fall is the best time for seeding?

I think it is quite difficult to overseed in the Spring when you have to spread out crabgrass prevention as well as spray for broadleaf weeds later in the spring.

If I had a choice between the two, I would seed in the fall.





Seeding in the spring, depending where you live, leads to a lot of extra watering as you move into the hot and dry weather, having a lawn that is not fully established, and can't take as much stress. Seeding in the fall, the weather is cooler, the water needs are less, then the lawn goes dormant through winter, and begins growing again very early in spring, and by the time hot summer arrives, it's ready for it.





If you're willing to do the extra watering, you can overseed anytime (though I don't recommend trying to seed in hto weather)
Reply:True. You grass seed grows better in the fall when seeded in the middle of September, and it has all winter long to establish roots before the heat of the summer. It is the optimum time for grass seeding. You can overseed in the spring if you use a crabgrass preventer containing the chemical Siduron, but it is more expensive than the regular crabgrass preventer. Scotts has this.

The best time to kill broadleaf weeds is in early summer, but there is also a fall application for chickweed and henbit.
