Preparing your yard for summer in Texas involves more than simply mowing the grass. At Leaf and Stone, we're dedicated to helping you shield your lawn from heat damage, conserve water, and maintain the beauty of your outdoor space throughout the entire season.
What It Means to Prep Your Lawn for Summer
Summer prep is all about strengthening your grass and soil before the hottest months hit. This includes seasonal fertilizing, aeration, mulching, and adjusting your irrigation system to handle the Texas heat. The goal? A green, resilient lawn that can stand up to sun, foot traffic, and dry spells.
Why It Matters
Avoid Burnout: Dry, brittle patches are common in Dallas summers. Early prep helps prevent them.
Save Water: A healthy lawn needs less watering, especially if you’re using mulch and water-smart landscaping.
Boost Curb Appeal: Whether you’re entertaining or thinking of selling, a vibrant lawn makes a great first impression.
Tips for Timing & Maintenance
Start in Late Spring: Aim for early May before temps spike.
Mow High: Leaving grass a little taller can shade roots and retain moisture.
Mulch Smart: Refresh mulch around trees and beds to lock in hydration and block weeds.
