As I’ve mentioned, weather-wise, 2021 has been one strange year. From record-setting cold in February to what for us was a very mild June and July, we seem to have finally got our summer heat in August. In over forty years, I can’t recall a year where our summer heat started this late. But now […]
This year has been a strange one weather-wise, so it should come as no surprise that we are getting reports of armyworms invading North Texas lawns. We had an outbreak of these in the fall of 2018. Pretty much every bermuda lawn had them. This year isn’t as bad as 2018, but we have seen […]
Considering our February freeze, I’m not surprised that our summer has been relatively weird for North Texas. Our July has been cool and wet, so most lawns in the area are lush and green as we head into August (which is not typical.) In today’s video I’ll share with you everything we’ve been seeing in […]
Nutsedge is a weed we see a lot of in the summer months in North Texas. It is a dark-green leafed weed that looks a lot like grass that is sticking straight up. But nutsedge isn’t a grass even though it is usually mistaken for a grassy weed. This confuses homeowners who try and treat […]
Today I want to show you a weed we see a lot in the summer here in Dallas. The weed is called Dallisgrass. This nasty weed is perennial, which means it comes from a root and cannot be controlled by a pre-emergent. Your best option for a large patch of Dallisgrass is to apply Roundup […]
We wanted to give you a late spring update for North Texas. The big news is that we’ve had a lot of rain (in the past two weeks we’ve had ten days of rain!) That means most lawns are bright green and filling in. Any areas with freeze damage are starting to look much better. […]
Late spring is the time of the year in North Texas when our temperatures are getting warmer, and we get a lot of rain. These conditions can cause Brown Patch in St. Augustine lawns. How do we go about fighting this nasty little fungus that thrives on warm, damp conditions? Prevention is the best bet […]
The fallout from the North Texas February winter storm is still affecting many in North Texas. It is especially true for those who have St. Augustine lawns. It is no big surprise that some St. Augustine lawns are showing signs of freeze damage. After all, St. Augustine is a tropical plant and does not do […]
One of the biggest challenges we face in weed control in North Texas is a cool spring. In these videos I explain why a cool April isn’t that cool for any fertilization and weed control plan in the below videos. In the second video, I tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Dayflower […]
When discussing insects that plague North Texas lawns, two of the most common we see are Grub Worms and Chinch Bugs. If you sign up for our Signature Fertilization & Weed Control + Insect Protection Plan your lawn will be protected from the damage I detail in these videos. If you have family or friends […]
