What type of grass grows best in Houston?
St. Augustine grass is the most common lawn grass in Houston due to its tolerance for heat, humidity, and partial shade. Bermuda grass is also popular for sunnier yards. ABC’s lawn care specialists are experienced with both varieties and will tailor your fertilization and maintenance schedule to your specific grass type.
When should I fertilize my lawn in Houston?
For St. Augustine grass, fertilize in early spring (March-April) when the grass comes out of dormancy, again in early summer, and once more in early fall. Avoid fertilizing in late fall or winter. ABC’s specialists create a customized schedule based on your grass type, soil condition, and seasonal needs.
How often should my lawn be mowed in Houston?
During Houston’s growing season (April through October), most lawns need mowing every 5-7 days. In cooler months, mowing frequency drops significantly. ABC keeps your grass at the ideal height for its type — never removing more than one-third of the blade at a time.
What are common lawn diseases in Houston?
Houston’s heat and humidity make lawns vulnerable to brown patch fungus (most common in fall), take-all root rot, and gray leaf spot. St. Augustine grass is particularly susceptible. Proper fertilization timing, watering schedules, and treatment plans from ABC’s specialists can prevent and treat these diseases before they spread.
What lawn pests are common in Houston?
Chinch bugs are the most destructive lawn pest for Houston St. Augustine grass, causing yellowing patches that look like drought stress. Grub worms, sod webworms, and fire ants are also common. ABC’s lawn care program includes monitoring for pest activity and treating infestations before they damage your turf.
