The season

Twelve months
on Texas turf.

Central Texas lawns don't follow the calendar on the fertilizer bag. Here's what the crew does on your yard each month, and why.

Month by month

What happens on your yard.

  1. Jan

    Dormant

    Every-other-week cleanup, leaf haul-off, pre-emergent prep.

  2. Feb

    Pre-emergent

    First pre-emergent round stops spring weeds before they sprout.

  3. Mar

    Green-up

    Weekly route begins. First cut sets the height for the season.

  4. Apr

    Feed

    Spring feeding and aeration while the turf is actively growing.

  5. May

    Peak growth

    Weekly cuts, crisp edges, spring shrub trim.

  6. Jun

    Heat

    Mowing height goes up to shade the roots through the heat.

  7. Jul

    Drought watch

    We follow local watering stages and watch St. Augustine for chinch bugs.

  8. Aug

    Hold

    Light feeding only. Brown patches get checked before they spread.

  9. Sep

    Recovery

    Fall feeding and second pre-emergent as nights cool.

  10. Oct

    Fall trim

    Fall shrub trim, bed cleanup and fresh mulch.

  11. Nov

    Wind-down

    Last weekly cuts and the first leaf cleanups.

  12. Dec

    Rest

    Every-other-week visits keep leaves off dormant turf.
