North Texas Seasonal Updates

Watering: Since the grass is still dormant not much watering is needed, however if you go more than a week without rainfall you will want to water your lawn for just a few minutes to keep the roots healthy and prevent the ground from cracking. When your lawn starts to green-up you will need to start watering approximately one inch every 5-7 days. See WATERING for more details.

Mowing: The following are the current recommended lawn mower heights.


When your lawn starts to turn green do the following:
St. Augustine - Mow at 2 ½ inches until May or June when it starts getting hotter and then mow at 3 inches.

Bermuda Grass - First mowing, cut grass as low as possible without scalping the ground and remove clippings. After first cutting, you will want to mow grass at about 1 ½ inches until it starts warming up in May or June when you will want to lift mower to about 2 inches.

Hybrid Bermuda - First mowing, cut grass as low as possible without scalping the ground and remove clippings. After first cutting, you will want to mow grass at 1 inch.

All others - 2 inches until May or June when it starts getting hotter and then 2 ½ inches.

See MOWING for more details.

Problems to watch for on lawns:
Weeds - Now is the time to get rid of the winter broadleaf weeds such as thistle, dandelion and henbit; and preventing spring weeds such as crabgrass from coming up. Jurassic Lawn Care accomplishes this by applying a pre- and post-emergent weed control.

Problems to watch for in landscape:
Scale - This is the time to treat for scale with a dormant oil application. Many plants suffer from scale, including Burford Holly, Box Shrubs, Junipers, and Euonomous.
