Green Grass Despite the Heat

“The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.” We’ve heard this plenty before, but doesn’t it seem like sometimes it really is greener?!

How do your neighbors achieve such thick, green and vibrant lawns despite the scorching hot summers in north Texas? How do they keep flowers pruned and trimmed so that drivers stop to look at their bright flowerbeds? It’s simple: it takes work.

Try these tips to keep your summer lawn healthy during some of the hottest months of the year.

Keep an eye out for chew marks or curled leaves on your flowers and plants because these can be a big indication of a pest problem. One single pest can lay thousands of eggs in any given moment, so prevent that problem from escalating into a full-on disaster! …inspect your plants.

Surprisingly enough, it’s common for north Texans to over-water their yards, despite water restrictions. They essentially drown their lawn and can hurt the lifestyle of their yard in all seasons. Supply enough water to keep disease at bay—one inch of water a week on healthy portions of your yard and a 10-minute soak on dryer areas.

Mowing is simple but so important. Save the clippings and sprinkle them throughout your yard in order to keep the nutrients and moisture in or use a landscaping service in Dallas to offer some moisture-saving solutions.
