Lawn Care Tips – Spring

Homeowners are always working hard to keep their lawn looking healthy and green.  In Bellville, Texas, most properties have St. Augusting grass. here is a quick breakdown on how to make it look best!

Guidelines put out by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service of the Texas A&M University System can be found at:

Maintaining St. Augusting Grass

This is a brief run down of the spring time tips you should follow:

  • Set the mower height to 2.5-3 inches
  • Do not bag the grass clippings (mulch the grass)
    • They provide nutrients as they decompose and feed the lawn
    • This will save you time bagging the clippings!!
  • Begin fertilizing 3 weeks after the lawn turns green
    • Use a 3-1-2 ratio fertilizer
    • The bag will say something like: 15-5-10, 21-7-14, etc…
  • Water to a depth of 6 inches every 5-10 days
    • Check watering depth with a screwdriver
    • Windy and sunny days will require more frequent watering
    • The lawn will tell you when it is thirst again as it begins to turn a dull bluish color (weird right?!?)
  • The best weed control is a healthy lawn
  • Only apply herbicides when weeds are present and the grass is healthy
  • St. Augustine grass is very sensitive to some herbicides
  • Routinely check for chinch bugs and white grubs and treat as needed
