Choose your grass type and I'll walk you through the year, month by month.
When to feed and what the lawn actually needs.
Pre-emergent timing and seasonal weed-control strategy.
How the routine changes throughout the Texas growing season.

Most lawn companies tell you what they applied after they leave. I'm showing you how I think about the entire year.
You can follow the system yourself, or decide you'd rather have TX GrassRX handle it.
TX GrassRX recommends a month-by-month approach to St. Augustine lawn care in the Houston area: fertilize every 4 to 5 weeks during the growing season, apply pre-emergent weed control in early fall and spring, and mow at 3 to 4 inches to shade out weeds. This free playbook shows exactly what to do each month for your grass type, with specific product names, application rates, and first-hand local reasoning.
