Feeding your lawn with the right nutrients during the summer months is essential for sustaining its health. When selecting a fertilizer, opt for a slow-release one that is specifically formulated for wam-season grasses. Slow-release fertilizers provide a steady supply of nutrients over an extended period, allowing your grass to use the nutrients as needed. This promotes consistent growth and minimizes the risk of fertilizer burn during hot weather. Fertilization is all about balance. Too little and your sod won’t get the necessary nutrients; too much can lead to nutrient burn or excessive top growth at the expense of root development. Use a balanced fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and follow recommended application schedules to nourish your roots without overwhelming them.

A good production landscape starts by understanding the needs of the site’s future inhabitants, and how it can be made more usable, sustainable, and functional. Effective production landscaping takes many factors into consideration. Privacy screening is one key functional aspect often addressed through landscaping, with carefully planned trees and shrubs, along with fences or hardscaping. Erosion control and soil stabilization are essential in order to maintain a functional landscape. Terracing, retaining walls, and ground cover plantings can manage sloping areas prone to erosion and protect the structural integrity of the landscape and nearby buildings.

The first step in effective summer lawn care is understanding your grass type. Bermuda grass is known for its finer blades. It loves deeper, less frequent waterings, about twice per week, which encourages deeper root growth. Bermuda grass goes dormant and turns brown in the winter but will return to a vibrant green when warm weather returns. Zoysia Grass also thrives with deep and infrequent watering. It is drought-resistant, but thrives with about one inch of water once a week. It grows best in full sun. St. Augustine Grass prefers consistent moisture, equating to about an inch of water a week. This grass is known to be more susceptible to pests and other health issues. Proper care is essential, and watering early in the morning reduces risk of disease and fungal growth.

If you have a lawn here in Texas, you know how much of crucial a role proper watering plays in maintaining a healthy lawn in the summer heat. Because water conservation is essential especially during the summer season, it’s important to be strategic with your watering methods. Frequent shallow watering encourages shallow root growth, which makes your lawn more susceptible to drought stress. To avoid this, you can adopt the practice of watering deeply and infrequently. Providing about an inch of water per week, depending on your grass variety’s needs, allows the water to penetrate several inches deep into the soil. Water early in the morning to minimize water loss due to evaporation and ensure optimal absorption.
