The Principles Behind Every Visit

Sharp Blades, Higher Cut in the Heat

Sharp Blades, Higher Cut in the Heat

Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting it, which opens the door to disease and brown tips β€” it’s why our blades get sharpened at least twice a week. Through July and August, letting Bermuda and St. Augustine keep a little extra height shades the soil and eases heat stress.

Water Deep, Not Daily

Water Deep, Not Daily

July and August bring watering restrictions across Hutto, Round Rock, Georgetown and Pflugerville. Deep, infrequent watering on your allowed days builds deeper roots than a daily sprinkle β€” and deep roots are what carry a lawn through a Central Texas summer.

Pre-Emergent Has Two Windows

Pre-Emergent Has Two Windows

In Central Texas the first pre-emergent goes down late January to early February, before soil temperatures climb past 55Β°F, and the second in September. Miss either one and you fight crabgrass, henbit and annual bluegrass all season.
