I put too much pre emergent on my bermuda sod and it has brown "runs" in it. What to do over the winter? I've also put down screamin' green about 6 weeks ago. I am going to level my lawn come spring. Its new grass the builder put down. I cut it with a reel mower.

Follow the Bermuda Bible over the winter and for the rest of your life. Google it, download it, and memorize it.

Where do you live?

When did the builder put the lawn in?

How high/low do you mow it and how often?

What is your watering schedule (frequency and duration)?

What is the preemergent you used, and how much is too much? I can't think of a reason why the preem would cause it to become brown.

Do not try to level a bermuda lawn in the spring. Either do it in the dead of winter or in the hottest heat of summer.

Did your neighbor put it down shortly before the monsoon we had in the metroplex late last week? If so, I think they are probably ok...

Application of pre emergent too late?

Yeah I knew Scott's HALT was bad once I started reading the forum. I was just going by the Bible you wrote and it said 8 weeks after first application is a good time to apply another pre-emergent for the summer months. Is there much of a difference in the pre emergents or am I fine with any of the AMAZE, Dimension, or Barricade is avail at my local HD or Lowes?

Too late to apply pre-emergence (CGM)?

I didn't notice it was CGM. I agree with TW on that. I used 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet 8 times last season and never noticed a difference in weeds. I mean, how much do you have to use to get the effect? I was doing it to fertilize anyway. It is the best organic fertilizer I know of.

Too late for pre-emergent?

Actually, the 0-0-7 is a very weak fertilizer, the 7 in the analysis is Potash which is very good for winterizing your lawn, it helps the root system grow deeper for a stronger lawn next year. As for the Pre-M, it's never too late to apply, it is relative to what you are trying to keep from coming up. Crabgrass, yes, about 8 months too late, but for winter annual weeds, right on time. If it's cheap, put it out. Here is a link that might be useful: Lawn Care Tips
