Why We’re Different

If you’re looking for premium, long-lasting weed prevention, our fall pre-emergent program stands apart. At America’s Best Lawncare, we prioritize results, timing, and product quality — even when it costs us more.

Our fall pre-emergent of choice is Specticle® FLO, an advanced weed prevention solution designed to deliver extended control with fewer applications. This professional-grade product allows us to provide stronger, longer-lasting weed prevention compared to standard pre-emergents.

Applied Strategically In The Fall

Specticle® FLO is applied to every lawn we treat during the fall season, typically between September and October, when weed prevention is most effective. Proper timing is critical, and fall applications help prevent weed germination well into the following growing season.

Longer Residual Protection

Many lawn care providers rely on traditional pre-emergents such as prodiamine, simazine, or dimension, which typically provide 3–6 months of residual control. Specticle® FLO offers up to 8 months of weed prevention, resulting in noticeably cleaner lawns through winter, spring, and beyond.

Broad-Spectrum Weed Control

Specticle® FLO provides control of more than 60 grassy and broadleaf weeds, including extended control of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and pre-emergent and early post-emergent control of crabgrass.

Safe For Warm-Season Turf

Specticle® FLO is approved for use on common warm-season turfgrasses including Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, Buffalograss, and Bahiagrass, and is compatible with many liquid fertilizers and other lawn treatments.

Clean, Low-Impact Application

This product applies cleanly without staining and produces no noticeable odor during application, making it an excellent choice for residential lawns.

Resistance Management

Specticle® FLO helps control weeds that have developed resistance to other herbicides, providing an additional layer of long-term protection.

Quality Over Cost

Specticle® FLO is significantly more expensive than many traditional pre-emergents. We choose it because it performs better — not because it’s cheaper. Our focus is on delivering superior results and long-term lawn health, even when it means higher product costs for our company.

Specticle® FLO – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Makes Specticle® FLO Different From Other Pre-Emergents?
Specticle® FLO provides significantly longer residual weed control than many traditional pre-emergents. While common products typically offer 3–6 months of control, Specticle® FLO can provide up to 8 months of protection when applied properly, helping keep lawns cleaner well into the next growing season.

Q: What Types Of Weeds Does Specticle® FLO Prevent?
Specticle® FLO delivers broad-spectrum control of more than 60 grassy and broadleaf weeds. It provides extended prevention of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and pre-emergent and early post-emergent control of crabgrass, along with many other common seasonal weeds.

Q: Is Specticle® FLO Safe For My Grass?
Yes. Specticle® FLO is approved for use on warm-season turfgrasses commonly found in Texas, including Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia, Centipede, Buffalograss, and Bahiagrass. When applied correctly, it helps reduce weed competition without harming healthy turf.

Q: Why Is Specticle® FLO Applied In The Fall?
Fall application allows Specticle® FLO to establish a protective barrier in the soil before cool-season weeds begin to germinate. This timing is critical for long-term weed prevention and helps reduce weed pressure through winter and into spring.

Q: Why Don’t All Lawn Care Companies Use Specticle® FLO?
Specticle® FLO is a premium product with a significantly higher cost than many standard pre-emergents. Some companies choose less expensive options, but we prioritize performance and long-term results over cost savings.

Choosing the right product — and applying it at the right time — makes a measurable difference in long-term weed prevention.
