Pre-emergent herbicide, when applied at the right times of year, will control weed populations before you see them. They do this by inhibiting seeds from forming roots, thus killing them as they germinate.

Eradicating weeds when they germinate is the most efficient way to control weed populations is lawns, flower beds, and even gravel driveways and walkways. It’s time-efficient and cost-effective, saving you months of combating weeds by mowing, weed whacking, hand pulling, digging, and from using costlier products to spray out weeds.

  • 25 lb. bag covers up to 4,000 sq. ft.
  • 50 lb. bag covers up to 8,000 sq. ft.
  • Contains 16-4-8 + Iron plus Barricade pre-emergent herbicide
  • This pre-emergent contains a high amount of Nitrogen, so review the "when not to apply" exceptions below for your type of lawn.


Apply only at the recommended rate.

Use our yellow walk-behind spreader to distribute this granular product.

When to apply pre-emergent herbicide:

  • Apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to established Tall Fescue lawns in late winter and early spring to feed and prevent weeds. If you've already fertilized your Tall Fescue with nitrogen, then choose 0-0-7 with pre-emergent because it doesn't contain nitrogen.
  • Apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to established Bermuda and Zoysia lawns in spring during "green up" to feed and prevent weeds, usually from mid to late April.
  • Apply in the morning before temperatures rise above 80 degrees; do not apply during the heat of the day.
  • Apply it after one full growing season when your lawn in fully rooted in and you can no longer pull up areas of the sod, after you’ve mowed it at least three times, and after you can no longer see the seams.


When NOT to apply pre-emergent herbicide:

  • When seeding new lawns: Do not apply this product or any pre-emergent herbicide if you're planning on reseeding your lawn because it will inhibit germination of that seed too. If you have applied pre-emergent, wait 3-4 months before planting seeds, depending on climate conditions.
  • When laying new sod: Do not apply pre-emergent when laying sod because it will inhibit root formation if applied too soon. Likewise, do not apply pre-emergent before laying new sod - if you have applied pre-emergent, wait 3-4 months (depending on climate conditions) before laying new sod.
  • Don't apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to Tall Fescue in late spring or summer; apply it only during cool months; due to high Nitrogen, don't apply to Tall Fescue during warm months.
  • Do not apply to Centipede due to the high nitrogen; choose 0-0-7 with pre-emergent instead
  • Don't apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to warm-season lawns like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine in fall when going dormant or in winter or spring before green up; due to high Nitrogen apply it only when these lawns are actively growing in late spring. Instead, apply 0-0-7 with pre-emergent in fall and winter.
  • Don't apply too soon: If you laid warm season sod in autumn, chances are it will need one full growing season (summer) to root in and fill in the seams, thus skipping the winter and spring applications. If you laid sod in the autumn, here is a general application timetable:
    • Zoysia - Safe to apply after Zoysia sod is 12 months old
    • St. Augustine Safe to apply after St. Augustine sod is 12 months old
    • Centipede - Due to high nitrogen, not safe for Centipede at all
    • Bermuda - Safe to apply after *Bermuda sod is 6 months old
    • Tall Fescue - Safe to apply after Tall Fescue is 4 months old


*TifTuf Bermudagrass is the quickest sod to establish and beats expectations for filling in the seams. If you lay the TifTuf Bermudagrass variety late summer and it’s fully rooted in and no seams are visible, it’s safe to apply the winter application of pre-emergent herbicide.

Great Yard Helper!
So easy to use and affordable! This edger is a great time saver, easy to operate, and relatively easy to adjust although you may need a pliers or screwdriver to help with the adjustment levels, but its not difficult. I would have given this 5 stars but just one thing that is a sticking point for me is I wish this had its own stand or hanger because of its odd shape, it doesn't necessarily balance upright too well. It’s long and the guide wheel in the front sticks out. So, it is always awkward to get it tidy in the garage when not in use. Now maybe this is what it's like for landscapers…I’m not a professional. Just a homeowner doing my own upkeep. With what this costs, I’ll figure it out, and is worth the money.

First use was great!
I've used it just the one time today. I had previously "edged" with a string weedwhacker, so while the grass was cut back some, there wasn't a trench dug out. I did a gentle push and pull, taking on about 18" at a time to get a new trench dug next to the sidewalk edge. It did a great job! The entire unit was much heavier and sturdy looking than I was afraid it would be for the price, so pleasantly surprised. Assembly wasn't complicated, but it did take two of us to hold it steady because getting the screws to seat in the square hole and not have the cord in the way was a bit tricky. I'm a 70+ lady, not large and not athletic, but I was able to handle this edger with ease. Now, to see how long it lasts!

Initially defective poor quality
This item was initially defective and I needed one so I ordered another thinking it was a fluke. Both devices would not turn on. The second one briefly turned on for about 30 seconds and died. The major inconveniences that I can't return it in the normal way. I have to bring it to UPS and there isn't one near my house. I am very disappointed with this item and also with the return policy

Came in skeptical, but it's GREAT!
I read all the bad reviews I could on this thing and considered it an acceptable risk considering the price. Assembly was easy and the instructions were fair. Not amazing, but once you handle the edger, the gist is clear. I was skeptical overall that the horsepower and plastic guard weren't going to be enough. I ran it for nearly 45min stopping every 5 or so to check the blade and guard. It stayed tight and I was able to manually turn the blade to make sure it was working right. My front yard and sidewalk have been neglected for a few years. I would sometimes edge it out with the weed Wacker, but couldn't get it as clean as I wanted without breaking a LOT of line. When I was done, I noticed the guard had a lot of soil and grass buildup that I was able to take out easily with my fingers. There were a few times I scraped the sidewalk edge, but the blade is still solid and ready for more! I was surprised at the quality and as you're going over an area, it feels solid and not squirly or out of control. My uses are going to be mostly suburban maintenance on my own yard. If I had more land or something bigger, I would consider something larger. For my yard and purposes, this edger is going to work just fine! Did not notice any issues with the blade getting loose, but stayed aware of it. There is a lock nut that keeps it in place. I imagine over time and switching blades, this is going to lose its locking function, but I already see amazon has replacement blades that come with new lock nuts!
