SAN ANTONIO – Texas is prone to having mild winters, and with warmer weather comes more weeds.
When lawns are mostly dormant, there is less competition for nutrients and, unfortunately, weeds take advantage of that situation.
Homeowners with damaged or drought-stressed areas in their lawn will likely see even greater weed invasion.
To make sure your lawn is healthy and beautiful all year, here are some ways to ensure a healthy, green lawn.
Mow your yard in time for spring.
March is about that time to start mowing your grass for spring. A good low mow should do wonders. Mowing will damage weeds more than it will spread them, according to Emerald Lawns.
Improving the health of your grass helps eliminate weeds. After you’ve mowed, gather your lawn clippings and dump them out in the trash to help reduce the spread of weed seeds to your soil.
Water your grass.
During spring, utilize the seasonal setting on your irrigation system and set according-to-average day-time high temperatures. For example, 60 degrees equals 60% equals half-inch of water per week.
