Once it is growing strongly then there is no problem. If you treat too
soon then the cold dormant weeds and moss are less affected and active
ingredients will wash away in the rain before they take effect.

And it can harm the grass, a bit.

Unless you are after a bowling green Chemlawn (US tradename) standard
finish then it might be more cost effective to spot weed any dandelions
and other nuisances. Killing moss in a lawn with poor drainage makes it
look a mess and the moss will return unless the drainage is sorted out.

It's not just poor drainage - shade will do it as well, and there's
not much most people can do about that.
