Seasonal Lawn Care Tips | Expert Advice From Texas Turf Specialists
A beautiful lawn doesn't happen by accident – it requires year-round attention. At
Texas Turf Specialists, we understand that each season presents its own unique challenges for lawn care. Whether it's preparing your grass for the scorching Texas summers or protecting it during the cooler months, our team is here to help with expert tips to keep your yard looking its best in every season.
Spring Lawn Care Tips | Getting Ready for Growth
Spring is the season of renewal, and your lawn is ready to wake up after the cooler winter months. Here are some key steps to prepare your grass for a healthy growing season:
Fertilize Early: Start your fertilization routine early in the spring to give your grass the nutrients it needs for strong growth. Learn more about our fertilization services.
Pre-Emergent Weed Control: Apply a pre-emergent weed control treatment in early spring to prevent weeds from taking root before they have a chance to grow. Check out our weed control services.
Mow Regularly: As your grass begins to grow, be sure to mow regularly, keeping the blades at an ideal height to promote thick, healthy growth.
Aerate the Lawn: If your soil is compacted, aerating in the spring can help improve root development and allow nutrients to penetrate deeper into the soil.
Summer Lawn Care Tips | Keeping Your Grass Healthy in the Heat
Summer brings high temperatures and long, sunny days, which can be stressful for your lawn. Here are our top tips to keep your grass thriving during the hottest months of the year:
Water Wisely: Water your lawn deeply but less frequently, aiming for about 1-1.5 inches of water per week. Early morning watering is best to reduce evaporation and allow the grass to absorb moisture.
Raise Mowing Height: During the summer, it's important to raise your mower blades to at least 3-3.5 inches. Taller grass helps shade the soil, retain moisture, and crowd out weeds.
Lawn Pest Control: Summer is the peak season for pests like grubs and chinch bugs. Make sure to inspect your lawn regularly and reach out to our lawn insect control services if you notice any signs of damage.
Fertilize Lightly: A light summer fertilization can help maintain strong growth but avoid heavy applications, which can stress your lawn in extreme heat.
Fall Lawn Care Tips | Prepare for the Cooler Months
Fall is the time to prepare your lawn for the upcoming winter and help it recover from the stresses of summer. Here's what you should focus on:
Aerate and Overseed: Fall is a great time to aerate and overseed any thin or bare spots across your lawn. This helps promote thicker growth in the spring.
Apply a Fall Fertilizer: Fall fertilization helps strengthen your grass's root system, ensuring it has the nutrients needed to survive the cooler months. Explore our fertilization services.
Rake Leaves Regularly: Don't let leaves accumulate on your lawn – they can block sunlight and trap moisture, leading to disease.
Pre-Emergent Weed Control: Fall is the perfect time to apply pre-emergent treatments to prevent winter weeds from taking hold. See our weed control services for more details.
Winter Lawn Care Tips | Protecting Your Lawn in the Off-Season
Even though your grass may not be growing much during the winter, there are still steps you can take to protect it and ensure it bounces back strong in the spring:
Reduce Watering: Most lawns need less water during the winter months. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly to prevent overwatering and water waste.
Avoid Foot Traffic: Your grass is more vulnerable in winter, so try to limit foot traffic on your lawn to prevent compaction and damage.
Monitor for Weeds: Keep an eye out for any winter weeds and address them with targeted post-emergent treatments if needed.
Prepare for Spring: Start planning your spring lawn care routine by scheduling early-season fertilization and weed control services.
