The weeds are already starting to pop-up so I assume it's too late to put down a pre-emergent herbicide. Any recommendations on a herbicide spray or granules to use to kill the stuff that is already popping up?
Is it too early to put down a slow release fertilizer? Some of the city websites mentioned doing this in May but since it's been a warmer spring and the grass is already greening up I guess fertilizer can be used now.
Any advice on grass seed or sod and where to get it. I assume HD is the standard place to go. There are a lot of dead patches in the yard I'd like to fill in.
Thanks

Bluegrass in Balzac (North of calgary) has all the landscape supplies you would need. It's never to late to put down fertilizer. I usually do my lawn once every six weeks, granted I like having a ridicules green and thick lawn.
