Default weedkiller and lawn (maybe a silly question...)

Hi quick question,

my new lawn (1year old) is full of weeds and following the advice
from the local nursery I am going to use some weedkiller. Now the
silly question is: Should I spray the weedkiller before or after
cutting the lawn?

Thanks in advance.


Typical instruction is not to spray within 3 days of cutting.

So cut the grass, then spray 3 days later. Don't cut the grass
again for over 3 days (and be careful with the cut grass, it may well
contain residual active weed killer)
