A:  It should help. First I would dig up all the crab grass and any other weeds you can see. Then sprinkle the entire bed with Preen and top with 2" - 3" of mulch. If it is not going to rain in the next day or two, water your plant bed. Water is what activates Preen.

A:  Preen Garden Weed Preventer does list crabgrass as a weed controlled when applied according to label directions. Please reach out to us at 1-800-233-1067 for any further assistance. Thank you!

A:  No, this will not prevent existing crabgrass from returning.  It will help prevent crabgrass from starting in the first place.  If you have existing crabgrass, you can either pull it out by hand, or spray it with a strong herbicide such as roundup (grass and weed).  Just be mindful where you use the Roundup, as it does what it says, and will kill everything.
