Yep. That is one of the ideas of re-seeding in the fall, also. This gives the new grass the chance to germinate and establish, so it will will be there to choke out the crabgrass. The only thing is, is that many times, the grass is still thin, so crabgrass can still come in. Keeping this in view, do you have to kill crabgrass before overseeding? As a general rule, wait at least 60 days and at least two mowings before overseeding lawn areas where crabgrass preventer was used. A single crabgrass plant can set up to 150,000 seeds in a season.Can I put down crabgrass preventer and grass seed at the same time?One crabgrass-preventing chemical is siduron (Tupersan), which is able to stop crabgrass from germinating without affecting the germination of turfgrass. So you could put that down now and seed both. So if you apply them in early April, you should be able to seed grass with no preventer effect by early June.
