As temperatures warm up and days grow longer, lawns across the neighborhood start waking up from their winter sleep. April is when grass begins actively growing again, roots start absorbing nutrients, and your yard prepares for the busy growing season ahead.But just like us in the morning, lawns can struggle to fully “wake up” if they don’t get the right start. When spring lawn care is delayed, weeds move in, growth becomes patchy, and your turf never quite reaches its full potential.

Here’s what to do now! Spring is right around the corner. What you do in late February and early March will directly impact how your lawn looks through the entire growing season! This is the window where proactive homeowners get ahead — and where professional service makes the biggest difference Here’s how Evergreen Lawn & Landscape prepares lawns for a strong, healthy start. 1. Apply Pre-Emergent Weed Control Before Weeds Appear By the time you see crabgrass and other weeds, it’s already too late to prevent them. Evergreen applies professional-grade pre-emergent treatments at the proper soil temperature — not just based on the calendar. This prevents weeds before they germinate, protecting your lawn without stressing the turf. This is one of the most important services of the entire year. 2. Early Season Fertilization for Healthy Growth After winter, your lawn needs balanced nutrients to wake up properly. Evergreen’s fertilization programs are designed to: Promote deep root development Improve color and thickness Strengthen turf before summer heat arrives Proper timing and application rates matter. Over-application can cause damage. Under-application produces weak results. Their experience ensures your lawn gets exactly what it needs. 3. Core Aeration to Relieve Soil Compaction If your lawn struggled last year, compacted soil may be the reason. Core aeration: Improves air and water flow Encourages deeper root growth Enhances fertilizer effectiveness Scheduling aeration early in the season allows your lawn to respond quickly once growth begins. 4. Start the Season with a Proper Irrigation Inspection A healthy lawn depends on consistent, efficient watering, especially as temperatures begin to rise. Early spring is the ideal time to inspect and prepare your irrigation system before peak demand begins. Small issues now can lead to uneven growth, water waste, or plant stress later in the season. A professional irrigation check ensures: Proper zone coverage and spray alignment Detection of leaks, broken heads, or pressure issues Correct controller programming for seasonal conditions Efficient water usage to support healthy root development Evergreen’s team evaluates your system to ensure it’s operating efficiently and delivering the right amount of water at the right time. A properly functioning irrigation system protects your lawn investment and supports every other service throughout the growing season. 5. Lock In Your Full-Service Lawn Care Program Spring fills up quickly. Waiting often means limited scheduling options. Evergreen Lawn & Landscape offers comprehensive lawn care programs that include: Fertilization Weed control Aeration Irrigation Ongoing maintenance With over 40 years in business, their team understands how to build a lawn care plan that performs season after season. Get Ahead of the Growing Season The difference between an average lawn and a standout lawn often comes down to early action. If you want thick, green, weed-free turf this year, now is the time to schedule your spring services with Evergreen Lawn & Landscape. Contact the team today to reserve your spot before the spring rush begins.

As December arrives in the Denton County and Northlake region, your lawn and landscape enter a low‑growth phase—but that doesn’t mean work stops. In fact, proper preparation now sets your property up for a strong spring and gives you the freedom to focus on holiday displays and seasonal décor. Here’s how you can make the most of this month with strategic care. Why December Matters Your turf is going dormant or significantly slowed; root systems are still active and benefit from minimal disturbance. Leaves, pine needles and other debris accumulate now — left unattended, they can smother grass, trap moisture and lead to disease. Holiday lighting and décor often require awareness of landscape conditions (plant health, shrub structure, hard‑scape edges) so your property looks great and stays safe. Preparing beds, mulch and hard‑scape zones now reduces spring‑cleanup workload and supports early green‑up. The December Checklist for Lawn & Landscape 1. Leaf & Debris Clearing Remove fallen leaves, twigs and clippings from your turf and beds. This helps: Prevent mold, disease and turf suffocation. Ensure your lawn’s surface remains dry and accessible for inspection and treatment if needed. Give a clean canvas for seasonal décor and holiday lighting installation. 2. Mow & Adjust Height One Final Time If your mowing service continues into late‑fall/early‑winter, schedule the final mow of the season. Set the blade to slightly higher than summer height to whitelist a buffer layer of protection for the turf through colder months. This approach aligns with best practice for dormant/winterizing lawns in our region. 3. Inspect Shrubs, Trees & Landscape Beds Remove broken branches, dead wood or low‑hanging limbs that may interfere with holiday lights or create hazards. Check mulch beds: a fresh layer helps retain soil moisture over winter, insulates root zones and improves spring appearance. Clear out annual plantings that have finished their cycle; leave established perennials and ornamental grasses for structural interest. 4. Holiday Lighting & Safe Installation If you’re decorating: Use pathways, driveways and bed edging as logical guides for light installation — these areas also help highlight your professionally‑maintained landscape. Avoid heavy foot traffic on turf zones; use existing hard‑scape as staging areas to preserve the lawn’s integrity. Consider LED lighting with low heat output to avoid inadvertent damage to shrubs or grass during cold snaps. Common December Missteps to Avoid Neglecting bed maintenance just because active growth has slowed — weeds can still germinate, and debris will sit heavily over winter. Installing décor without a plan for turf traffic — heavy boots, ladders or decorations can compact soil or damage crowns. Assuming lawn care stops entirely — while mowing frequency declines, thoughtful maintenance (mulching, bed care, leaf clean up) still matters.

As we move into November, your lawn is entering a critical transition period. The days are shorter, temperatures begin to drop, and your turf is preparing for winter rest. This makes it the perfect time to focus on strategic fertilization and effective weed control — so that come spring, your lawn hits the ground running. Why November Matters Root system strengthening: While above‑ground growth slows, grass roots remain active. Applying the right fertilizer now helps your lawn build root strength and nutrient reserves ahead of winter. Weed suppression now protects spring: Many winter annual weeds germinate in late fall. By applying preventive weed control now, you reduce the burden of weed pressure in early spring. Prevent nutrient depletion: Without care in late fall, your lawn may deplete its reserves over winter, leaving it thinner or weaker come spring. Fertilization Strategy for November Choose a slow‑release, winter blend fertilizer. A fertilizer with moderate nitrogen and time‑released nutrients supports sustained root growth without spurring excess top growth that cold weather will damage. Apply at the correct rate: Over‑fertilizing in cooler weather can cause fuel for disease or unwelcome growth that won’t survive the freeze. Targeted timing: In our region (Denton County / Northlake area), aim to fertilize when daytime temperatures are consistently above 50 °F and before the final hard freeze — generally early to mid‑November. Leaf removal and mowing height: Before fertilizing, remove fallen leaves so they don’t block nutrient absorption or trap moisture. Mow to the recommended height for your grass type, slightly higher than summer height to buffer against cold stress. Follow‑up irrigation (if needed): If we go into an extended dry spell before dormancy, a light watering after fertilizing helps move nutrients into the root zone — but don’t over‑water, as wet soil + cold = disease risk. Weed Control Tactics for Late Fall Pre‑emergent treatment for winter annuals: Weeds like chickweed, henbit, and annual bluegrass germinate in late autumn. A well‑timed pre‑emergent helps prevent their seedlings from establishing. Post‑emergent treatment for existing weeds: Identify and spot‑treat any broadleaf weeds that are still active. Late‑fall treatments can reduce the seed bank for spring. Edge and hard‑scape maintenance: Weed seeds collect along sidewalks, driveways and borders. Cleaning and treating these zones helps at the margins where your turf meets hardscape. Lawn health reduces weed pressure: A lawn that is fertilized appropriately and not stressed is more competitive — meaning weeds have a harder time taking hold. Common Mistakes to Avoid Applying high nitrogen “push” fertilizers in late fall: This can trigger lush growth that doesn’t harden off properly and can make turf vulnerable to cold damage. Treating all weeds as the same: Winter annuals require different timing and products than summer annuals or perennial weeds. Know what you’re dealing with. Neglecting soil health: Fertilizer and weed control are only part of the equation. Compacted soil, thatch buildup or poor drainage amplify weed problems and reduce nutrient uptake. Why Evergreen Lawn & Landscape? At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we’ve been serving the Argyle and Denton County area since 1984 with tailored fertilization and weed‑control programs. We use slow‑release, granular fertilizers that feed your lawn gradually throughout the season — including critical late‑fall applications.

With over 39 years of experience, we focus on long‑term lawn health, not just quick fixes. We tailor our services to your lawn’s specific needs — one‑size‑fits‑all doesn’t apply. What You Can Do This Month Schedule your late‑fall fertilization appointment now to secure optimal timing. Perform a leaf‑clean and mow‑to‑height ahead of your fertilization. Walk your lawn and note any persistent weeds — we’ll plan spot‑treatments accordingly. Consider aeration next spring if your lawn is compacted or thin. Getting your turf nutrient‑rich now sets the stage for a strong spring. Keep an eye on weather forecasts: if a prolonged warm spell occurs, hold off fertilization until just before cold sets in.

When it comes to landscaping in North Texas, timing is everything. While spring may seem like the natural choice, fall is actually the most strategic season to plant shrubs, trees, and perennial plants. Here’s why planting in the fall leads to healthier, more resilient landscapes in our region—including Argyle, TX and surrounding Denton County communities. 1. Ideal Soil Temperatures for Root Establishment In North Texas, fall brings cooler air temperatures while the soil remains warm. This combination is ideal for root development. Plants installed in fall have time to establish strong root systems through the winter, setting the stage for vigorous top growth come spring. 2. Less Heat Stress, More Water Retention Fall planting helps avoid the intense heat and drought stress of a North Texas summer. Cooler weather means plants lose less moisture through transpiration, and the soil retains water more efficiently—reducing irrigation needs and helping plants get established more easily. 3. Fewer Pest and Disease Pressures Many common landscape pests and plant diseases are less active in the fall, giving your new plants a better start. With fewer threats in the early stages, plants are more likely to thrive without intensive maintenance or chemical treatments. 4. Optimal Conditions for Professional Installation Fall offers the ideal environment for professional landscape installation . With stable weather and predictable conditions, our team can ensure proper placement, soil preparation, and long-term health for every plant—eliminating the guesswork of DIY approaches. 5. Long-Term Landscape Success Fall-planted landscapes tend to outperform those installed in other seasons. From drought-tolerant native plants to ornamental trees, establishing plants during this season increases survival rates and leads to lower long-term maintenance costs. Best Plants to Install in Fall in North Texas Native perennials like salvia, coneflower, and black-eyed Susan Ornamental grasses like gulf muhly and mexican feather grass Evergreen shrubs like yaupon holly and abelias Shade trees such as live oak, cedar elm, and red oak Serving Argyle, TX and North Texas with Expert Fall Landscaping At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we help homeowners in Argyle, TX, Denton County, and the greater North Texas area make strategic choices for lasting beauty and performance.

Low or No Water Pressure When sprinkler heads aren’t popping up or the spray is weak, you may be dealing with a valve issue, clog or a leak. 4. Heads That Don’t Pop Up Debris or mechanical failure can prevent sprinkler heads from rising, leading to poor coverage and lawn stress—especially during peak heat in North Texas. 5. Unexplained High Water Bills If your water bill is climbing and nothing else has changed, your irrigation system could be running inefficiently or leaking behind the scenes.

As the summer sun intensifies across North Texas, homeowners in Argyle and surrounding areas are starting to notice the first signs of heat stress creeping into their lawns. If you're seeing dry patches, wilting blades, or uneven coloring, your turf is crying out for help—and watering alone might not be enough. At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we know that high temperatures and irregular rainfall during the summer months create tough conditions for even the healthiest lawns. That’s why we’re offering an innovative, preventative treatment designed to help your grass stay strong, green, and resilient all summer long: Aqua-T™ FLEX. What Is Heat Stress and Why Should You Worry Heat stress occurs when your lawn loses moisture faster than it can absorb it, leaving your turf vulnerable to browning, disease, and dieback. With Texas experiencing more prolonged drought periods and soaring temps, your grass is working overtime just to survive. Even if you have a well-maintained irrigation system, water may not be reaching deep enough into the soil or may be running off too quickly. That’s where Aqua-T™ FLEX comes in. The Science Behind Aqua-T™ FLEX Aqua-T™ FLEX, developed by Aquatrols, is a cutting-edge soil surfactant that improves water distribution throughout your lawn’s root zone. In simple terms, it helps water go where it’s needed most: deep into the soil where roots can access it consistently. By enhancing water retention and improving infiltration, FLEX: Reduces runoff and evaporation Maximizes the efficiency of your irrigation system Promotes healthier, deeper root growth Minimizes heat stress even during extreme temperatures In short, it's the secret weapon your lawn needs to stay green and lush when the heat is on. Why Apply FLEX Now? Timing is everything. Applying FLEX preventatively in late June or early July ensures your lawn has the moisture support it needs before temperatures reach their peak. Once the soil becomes dry and compacted, it’s much harder for water to penetrate, and your lawn may already be suffering irreversible damage. By taking a proactive approach, you’ll help your turf: Maintain consistent hydration Avoid brown patches and thinning grass Stay vibrant and healthy all summer Let Evergreen Take Care of It Our team at Evergreen Lawn & Landscape is trained to apply Aqua-T™ FLEX as part of our seasonal lawn care services. We'll make sure it's done right—at the right time—so you don’t have to worry about summer turf damage.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Beat the summer heat before it beats your lawn. 📞 Call Evergreen Lawn & Landscape today to schedule your preventative FLEX treatment and keep your lawn looking its best all season long.

These May lawn care tips for Argyle, TX homeowners will help your grass, trees, and landscaping thrive just in time for summer fun. At Evergreen Lawn and Landscape, we’re here to help you maintain a lush, healthy yard with expert lawn care services in Argyle, TX. 1. Mow the Right Way for Stronger Grass By May, your lawn is growing more rapidly. It’s important to mow regularly — but avoid cutting too short!

After spring growth kicks in, grass needs essential nutrients to maintain vibrant color and survive the summer heat. A professional lawn fertilization service in Argyle, TX , like ours at Evergreen, ensures your lawn gets the right blend of nutrients without the risk of overfeeding. 3. Tackle Weeds Before They Spread Warmer temperatures mean weed growth is in full swing.

Our team at Evergreen specializes in spring lawn care for Argyle homeowners , keeping lawns healthy and weed-free. 4. Water Smart, Not Hard Argyle weather in May can be unpredictable, but your watering schedule doesn’t have to be.

Watering in the early morning helps prevent evaporation and minimizes disease risks. Need an irrigation check? Evergreen Lawn and Landscape offers expert landscape maintenance services in Argyle, TX , including sprinkler inspections. 5.

Spring in Texas marks the beginning of the prime growing season for your lawn. As temperatures warm up and grass emerges from winter dormancy, proper mowing techniques can set the stage for a lush, healthy lawn throughout the year. At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we understand the unique challenges Texas homeowners face when it comes to lawn care. That’s why we’ve put together these expert mowing tips to help your lawn thrive this spring. 1. Adjust Your Mower Blade Height The right blade height depends on your grass type, but in general, keeping your grass slightly taller promotes a stronger root system and helps retain moisture—essential in the Texas heat. For warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia, set your mower blades between 1.5 to 2 inches. For St. Augustine grass, a higher setting of 2.5 to 4 inches is ideal. 2. Rotate Mowing Patterns Mowing in the same direction every time can cause ruts in your lawn and make grass blades lean in one direction, resulting in an uneven appearance. To prevent this, switch up your mowing pattern each time—mow horizontally one week, then vertically or diagonally the next. This technique promotes even growth and reduces soil compaction. 3. Follow a Regular Mowing Schedule Spring brings rapid grass growth, so sticking to a consistent mowing schedule is crucial. Aim to mow your lawn at least once a week from early spring to mid-fall. Avoid removing more than one-third of the grass blade at a time to prevent stress and promote a thicker, healthier lawn. 4. Keep Your Mower Blades Sharp Dull mower blades tear the grass rather than cut it cleanly, leading to brown tips and increased susceptibility to disease. Sharpen your mower blades at the start of the season and check them periodically throughout the spring to ensure clean cuts that keep your lawn looking pristine. 5. Leave Grass Clippings for Natural Fertilization Instead of bagging grass clippings, let them decompose naturally. Clippings provide essential nutrients, like nitrogen, back into the soil, promoting healthier grass growth. This practice, known as grasscycling, helps reduce fertilizer needs and improves soil health over time. 6. Prepare for the Texas Heat As temperatures rise, your lawn’s mowing needs may change. Make sure your lawn is well-hydrated, preferably watering deeply in the early morning to promote root growth and drought resistance.

As the weather starts to warm up in Argyle, TX, it’s the perfect time to give your lawn the attention it deserves. Spring is a crucial season for lawn care, and proper fertilization and weed control play a major role in maintaining a healthy, vibrant lawn. At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we specialize in providing expert lawn care services that help your yard thrive year-round. In this blog, we’ll explore why fertilization and weed control are essential for a lush, green lawn this spring and how our services can help you achieve just that.

As the chilly winter months linger in Texas, it’s easy to forget about lawn care while the grass isn’t growing as fast. But did you know that the winter season is the perfect time to prepare your lawn for the upcoming spring? Proper winter care can ensure your lawn comes back lush, green, and healthy when the warm weather rolls in. At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we’ve put together some key winter lawn care tips to help you maintain a healthy yard through the colder months and set the stage for vibrant growth this spring. 1. Mow and Trim for Clean Lawn Edges Even in winter, it’s important to keep up with mowing . While your grass may not be growing rapidly during this time, it’s still a good idea to mow occasionally to maintain a neat appearance. Set your mower to a higher setting to avoid scalping the grass and leaving it exposed to harsh winter conditions. Trim any overgrown edges, and be sure to remove fallen leaves and debris that can smother your grass, preventing sunlight from reaching the soil. 2. Aerate Your Lawn for Better Root Growth Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, rainfall, and other factors. This makes it harder for water, oxygen, and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. Lawn aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to relieve compaction , allowing better root development. Early winter or late winter is an excellent time to aerate, as it helps your lawn establish a strong foundation for spring growth. 3. Fertilize for Long-Term Health Winter is the perfect time to fertilize your lawn with a slow-release, winter-specific fertilizer. Look for a product with a balanced blend of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This will ensure your grass has the nutrients it needs to survive the winter months and be ready for growth in the spring. A healthy root system going into spring is the key to vibrant and lush grass when the temperatures rise. 4. Water Wisely While Texas winters are typically mild, it’s still important to monitor your lawn’s water needs during this time. Grass in dormancy still requires some water to maintain its health, but be careful not to overwater. During the winter months, water deeply but less frequently—typically once every two to three weeks—depending on rainfall. If you’re unsure, check the soil’s moisture level about an inch deep into the ground. If it feels dry, it’s time to water. 5. Address Weeds Before They Start Weeds can be a year-round nuisance, even in winter. Applying a pre-emergent weed control product in late winter can prevent weed seeds from germinating and taking hold as temperatures warm up. Focus on areas where weeds are prone to pop up, such as garden beds, lawn edges, and the areas between sidewalks or driveways. 6. Keep an Eye Out for Pests and Disease Even in winter, certain lawn pests and fungal diseases can wreak havoc on your turf . If you notice spots of yellowing grass or unusual growth patterns, it may be worth investigating further. Common winter lawn issues in Texas include brown patch fungus and chinch bugs . Consider having your lawn inspected by a professional to identify any early signs of pest problems. If left untreated, these issues can become more severe in the spring and slow down your lawn’s recovery. 7. Consider Professional Lawn Care Services While DIY lawn care can certainly help, sometimes it’s best to leave things to the professionals. Lawn care experts, like those at Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, can offer services tailored to lawns in Argyle, TX and the surrounding areas, which ensures your lawn remains healthy year-round. From precise fertilization schedules to expert mowing, investing in professional lawn care can help you achieve the best results without the guesswork. 8. Prepare for Spring: Pre-Spring Maintenance As you move toward late winter and early spring, it's essential to get your lawn ready for the busy growing season. This is the time to apply a balanced spring fertilizer, remove any lingering dead grass or thatch, and check for areas that may need reseeding. Our team at Evergreen Lawn & Landscape can help create a customized spring lawn care plan designed specifically for your turf type and landscape needs.

As winter approaches in Argyle, TX, many homeowners assume that lawn care can be put on the back burner until spring. However, the cooler months are crucial for setting your lawn up for success in the coming growing season. With the right winter lawn care practices, you can ensure that your grass remains healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive once warmer weather arrives. At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we’re here to share essential winter lawn care tips and the benefits of services like winter fertilization and weed control to keep your lawn looking its best year-round. 1. Keep Your Lawn Clean and Clear During the winter months, it’s easy for leaves, twigs, and debris to accumulate on your lawn. These materials can block sunlight, trap moisture, and lead to mold or mildew growth. Regularly remove fallen leaves and debris from your lawn to allow it to breathe and ensure even water distribution. 2. Winter Fertilization: Give Your Lawn a Boost One of the most important winter lawn care practices is winter fertilization. Unlike traditional fertilization in the spring or summer, winter fertilization helps prepare your grass for the challenges of the colder months while promoting strong growth when spring arrives. Applying a slow-release fertilizer in winter helps your lawn’s roots stay healthy and robust during dormancy. The nutrients are stored in the soil, ready to be used when the grass begins to wake up in the spring. 3. Weed Control: Prevent Winter Weeds from Taking Root Weeds, such as dandelions, clover, and winter annuals, can quickly take over your lawn if not properly managed. Weed treatments create a barrier in the soil that stops weeds from sprouting, saving you time and effort in the spring. Winter weed control is an essential part of your lawn’s health plan, and it’s especially important in Argyle, where mild winters can still allow weeds to grow. Evergreen Lawn & Landscape offers tailored weed control services to keep your lawn free from unwanted growth and ensure that your grass has the nutrients it needs to flourish in spring. 4. Mowing: Adjust Your Approach for Winter While your lawn may not need frequent mowing during the winter months, it's still important to keep it at the right height. When mowing during fall or early winter, make sure your grass is cut to a height of about 2.5 to 3 inches. This encourages strong root development while protecting your lawn from the harsh cold temperatures. Avoid cutting the grass too short, as this can stress the grass and make it more vulnerable to winter damage. 5. Watering: Maintain Proper Hydration Even in winter, your lawn needs water to stay healthy. During dry spells, it’s essential to water your lawn properly, but be careful not to overwater. Grass in dormancy doesn’t require as much moisture as it does in the warmer months, but periodic watering helps keep the soil from becoming too dry. If we experience extended periods without rain, make sure to water deeply to encourage root growth and prevent dehydration. 6. Plan for Spring Lawn Care The winter months are also a great time to start planning your lawn care strategy for the upcoming spring. Consider what areas of your lawn may need more attention, such as spots where grass growth was weak or where weeds were prevalent. By assessing your lawn’s condition now, you can address potential problems early, so you’re ready for a lush, green lawn once the weather warms up.

As the temperatures start to climb in Texas and the grass begins to grow more quickly, it's important to stay on top of your lawn mowing routine to keep your yard looking its best. Proper mowing practices can not only improve the appearance of your lawn but also promote healthy growth and resilience against the hot sun. Here are some mowing best practices to keep in mind for lawns in Texas: 1. Set the Right Mowing Height: Different grass types thrive at different mowing heights, so it's important to know the recommended height for your specific grass species. In Texas, popular grass types like Bermuda grass and Zoysia grass generally do well when mowed at a height of 1.5 to 2 inches. St. Augustine does best when it’s mowed at 2.5 to 3 inches. 2. Sharpen Your Mower Blade: A dull mower blade can tear and damage grass blades, leading to a brownish appearance and increased susceptibility to disease. Make sure to sharpen your mower blade at least once a season to ensure a clean cut and healthy grass. 3. Follow the "One-Third Rule": As mentioned earlier, it's important to follow the one-third rule when mowing your lawn. This means that you should never remove more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing session. Cutting too much off at once can shock the grass and lead to stunted growth. 4. Mow When the Grass is Dry: Mowing wet grass can result in an uneven cut and clumping of grass clippings, which can smother the lawn and create an environment for disease to thrive. If you can, wait until the grass is dry before mowing to ensure a clean and even cut. 5. Alternate Mowing Directions: To promote upright growth and prevent soil compaction, try to alternate the direction in which you mow your lawn each time. This will help prevent the grass from leaning in one direction and allow for more even growth. 6. Leave Grass Clippings on the Lawn: Grass clippings contain valuable nutrients that can benefit your lawn as they break down. Consider leaving the clippings on the lawn after mowing to provide natural fertilization and moisture retention. Just make sure the clippings are fine enough to avoid clumping or smothering the grass.

As the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, many homeowners in Argyle, TX are starting to think about how they can improve the appearance of their lawns.

That's why we offer professional pre-emergent weed control services to help keep your lawn looking its best all season long. So, what are the benefits of using pre-emergent weed control services? Let's take a closer look: 1. Prevents weeds before they sprout: Pre-emergent weed control works by creating a barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating and taking root in your lawn. By applying pre-emergent herbicides early in the spring, we can stop weeds in their tracks before they become a problem.  2. Saves time and money: Once weeds have taken hold in your lawn, getting rid of them can be a time-consuming and costly process. By using pre-emergent weed control services, you can prevent weeds from ever becoming a problem in the first place, saving you time and money in the long run. 3.

By using pre-emergent weed control, you can keep weeds at bay and ensure that your lawn stays healthy and vibrant. 4. Improves the overall appearance of your lawn: A lush, green lawn free of weeds is not only more visually appealing, but it also increases your home's curb appeal and can even boost your property value.

Spring is in the air, and for many homeowners in Argyle, TX, that means it's time to start thinking about giving your lawn a facelift. One of the most important tasks you can do to ensure a healthy and vibrant lawn this season is fertilizing. At Evergreen Lawn & Landscape, we understand the power of proper lawn fertilization and the benefits it can provide for your lawn. So, let's dive into why fertilizing your lawn this spring is so important. 1. Promotes Healthy Growth: Spring is a time of rejuvenation for your lawn after the long winter months. By fertilizing your lawn, you can provide essential nutrients that will promote healthy growth and help your grass to green up quickly. A well-fertilized lawn will be more resilient against pests, diseases, and drought, giving you a lush and vibrant lawn to enjoy all season long.  2. Enhances Root Development: Fertilization helps to stimulate root growth, which is vital for the overall health of your lawn. Strong, healthy roots can better withstand stressors like heat and drought and allow your grass to access water and nutrients more efficiently. This leads to a more resilient and drought-tolerant lawn that can bounce back more quickly from adverse conditions. 3. Improves Soil Quality: Fertilizing your lawn can also help improve the quality of the soil. Nutrient-rich soil provides a better environment for beneficial microorganisms and earthworms to thrive, which can help aerate the soil and break down organic matter. This results in improved soil structure, better water infiltration, and increased nutrient availability for your grass. 4. Boosts Overall Appearance: A well-fertilized lawn will have a lush, green appearance that enhances the curb appeal of your home. A healthy lawn is a source of pride for homeowners and can make your outdoor living space more enjoyable for relaxing, entertaining, and spending time with family and friends. As you can see, fertilizing your lawn this spring offers a multitude of benefits that can help you achieve a healthier, more vibrant lawn.

As temperatures begin to rise and springtime blooms start to appear, it's the perfect time to start thinking about the health and appearance of your lawn. One of the best investments you can make for your Texas lawn this season is the application of pre-emergent weed control and fertilizer. Pre-Emergent Weed Control: Pre-emergent weed control works by targeting weed seeds before they can germinate, effectively preventing unsightly and invasive weeds from taking over your lawn. By applying this treatment in the spring, you can eliminate the need for constant weeding and keep your lawn looking pristine all season long. Fertilizer: Additionally, fertilizing your lawn in the spring provides essential nutrients that help promote healthy grass growth and root development. A well-fed lawn is more resistant to stressors like drought, disease, and foot traffic, ensuring that it remains lush and vibrant throughout the year. Save Time and Money: Investing in pre-emergent weed control and fertilizer in the spring not only helps maintain the beauty of your lawn but also saves you time and effort in the long run. With a healthy, weed-free lawn, you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor space and less time worrying about maintenance tasks.

Weeds are persistent in trying to take over your lawn in Texas, so you want to ensure it has top-notch protection against them. That's where weed control treatments come in. Weed control is an important part of your fall lawn care as it targets pesky weeds invading your turf. There are two types of weed control that you need to achieve a weed-free lawn: pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments. Pre-emergent treatments prevent weeds from sprouting on your lawn, so they never become an issue in the first place. Meanwhile, post-emergent treatments target existing weeds that emerge on your turf. You need both in your fall lawn care to effectively keep weeds at bay, allowing your grass to absorb the nutrients it needs to transition into the winter season. It's also best to follow a strict schedule to get good results. What are pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments? Pre-emergent weed control is a type of weed control that helps you get ahead of pesky weeds. It works by preventing newly germinated weeds from sprouting on your lawn and becoming an invasive problem on your property. Pre-emergent treatments do this by creating a barrier in the soil that inhibits further development of germinated weed seeds, preventing them from reaching the vital resources that they need to continue growing. By applying pre-emergent weed control, you can rest assured knowing your lawn has optimal protection against weeds. Meanwhile, post-emergent weed control targets existing weeds on your turf . This treatment is applied directly to weeds, eliminating them so they don't steal any more nutrients from your grass. Post-emergent treatments are what you need if you want to take back your lawn from pesky weeds that have already taken a foothold on your turf. You need to apply both pre- and post-emergent weed control on your lawn for the best results. If you want a strong and healthy lawn, you want to incorporate both pre- and post-emergent weed control into your fall lawn care routine. Pairing the two ensures a weed-free lawn that can absorb as much nutrients as possible without competition. Pre-emergent treatments prevent weeds from growing, so your lawn does not ever have to fight with them for nutrients. However, some weeds might already be on your lawn and pre-emergent treatments won't work on them. For weeds that are on your turf, you can count on post-emergent treatments. These treatments allow you to target the grown weeds on your lawn, so you can finally achieve a robust, weed-free turf that can survive the winter season. The Ideal Fall Schedule for Weed Control Treatments When the cooler temperatures of the fall season start to set in, you want to get your lawn care routine in place to ensure your grass is well-prepped for the winter. Timing the applications is crucial, so make sure you carefully follow a schedule to get the best results. The first treatment should be a pre-emergent weed control treatment in the early fall to get ahead of weeds that might sprout in the fall and winter. You'll want to continue with another pre-emergent treatment in late fall to add another layer of protection for your grass. In the early fall, apply a post-emergent treatment to tackle any weeds that have popped up . That way, your grass won't have to compete with weeds for nutrients before it goes dormant in the winter.

When leaves start to drop in the fall, they can quickly accumulate on your lawn. When this happens to your lawn in Texas, what should you do? Well, it depends on how thick the leaf piles are. If there aren't many leaves on your lawn, you can leave them alone because they will decompose and release nutrients that will benefit your lawn's health. If the pile of leaves on your lawn is too thick, you'll want to remove them before winter because they will block its access to vital resources and create an ideal environment for lawn diseases and pests to thrive. Leaves can benefit your lawn by releasing nutrients when they decompose. The leaves on your lawn in the fall can be unsightly and make your property look a bit messy. However, these leaves can serve a beneficial purpose to your lawn when you let them be. They contain a hearty amount of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. When leaves decompose, they act as a natural fertilizer for your grass by releasing vital nutrients. These leaves enrich your lawn by providing a boost of nutrients, getting it in better shape for the winter season. While it is true that leaves benefit your lawn, it is only so if there is a small number of them. Leaves can accumulate very quickly, so you want to keep an eye on them before they completely blanket your lawn! Too many leaves on your lawn can be harmful to your grass. A small number of leaves on your lawn is good, but too many can be detrimental to its health. When leaves accumulate on your turf and are left to fester, they will cover your lawn and block its access to vital nutrients, air, and sunlight . Without nutrients, your grass will grow weak and vulnerable to various stressors while it is dormant during the winter. Your lawn needs to absorb nutrients so it has enough to feed off of during dormancy and can bounce back quicker in the spring. What's more, the lack of good airflow and sunlight penetration means moisture will get trapped underneath the huge piles of leaves, creating an ideal environment for mold and fungus to thrive . This makes your turf a breeding ground for various diseases that can stomp on your lawn's health. These leaf piles will also provide insects and other troublesome pests with conducive conditions to take refuge in during the chilly weather. Let a few leaves sit on your lawn, but a large pile of them should be removed before winter. If you're unsure whether to leave the leaves on your lawn or remove them, the only thing you need to monitor is how thick the leaf cover is . A few leaves sitting on top of your grass will still be beneficial for your lawn. That's because the pile is just enough to provide enough nutrients for your lawn without smothering it. You can leave them to decompose on their own and provide additional nourishment for your grass. However, if the leaf pile is too thick that you can't see your grass anymore, that's your signal to remove them. You'll want to get rid of them before winter to help your lawn absorb essential nutrients before it goes dormant. You can hire professionals to handle the task of removing leaves and hauling them away from your property so you don't have to lift a finger! Call us today to sign up for our leaf removal service!

Fertilization is vital for keeping your lawn in Texas healthy and green. However, if you have pets, you may wonder how long you should wait before letting them back outside after a treatment.

Armyworms are common lawn insects in Texas that can cause extensive damage to your turf if left to their own devices. These pests are the larvae of certain species of moths and feed on your grass blades, leaving chewed, ragged edges and a transparent, windowpane-like appearance since they strip them of their green color.

If you're looking to establish a new lawn on your property in Texas, there are many different types of sod that you can choose from. However, there are four types of sod that stand out above the rest: bermudagrass, St. Augustine grass, palisades zoysia, and emerald zoysia. Each type has its own set of benefits and will work well for different situations. If you’re unsure which one is best for you, it’s always a good idea to reach out to a professional who can help you decide. Bermudagrass Sod One of the most popular types of sod used in Texas is bermudagrass sod. Bermudagrass is a warm-season perennial grass that thrives in hot weather. This type of sod grows quickly and establishes deep roots . It also tolerates heat and drought very well, making it an excellent choice if you live in an area that experiences these conditions frequently. While this type of sod does require more watering than other types, it makes up for it by being able to handle periods of dryness better than others. St. Augustine Grass St. Augustine is another common type of sod that is often used in Texas. This type of sod is considered a warm-season perennial grass that is widely used because of how durable it is. St. Augustine is known for its ability to fight off diseases and withstand wear and tear . Because of its durability, it's a popular option to use here in Texas since it will likely be able to withstand the conditions it will be faced with throughout the year. St. Augustine grass grows thick and is known to naturally crowd out weeds! Palisades Zoysia Sod Palisades zoysia grass is a warm-season variety that looks great and grows quickly. This type of grass has a medium to dark green color and forms into dense mats. The grass blades are thin and upright, creating a uniform appearance across the entire lawn. This type of grass is also highly resistant to diseases and insects, making it a reliable option for anyone who wants a long-lasting lawn. By installing this type of sod in your lawn, you'll nearly instantly have a beautiful lawn that will be able to endure the high temperatures we experience in our area for much of the year.

Not only does it thrive in hot and humid environments, but it can also withstand extreme temperatures .

Mowing your lawn is a crucial part of keeping it healthy and looking its best. If you own a home in Texas, you are likely wondering how often you should be mowing your lawn. Well, the answer is simple - you should mow your lawn on a weekly basis to keep up with its growth. Well, you don't need to mow your lawn every week for the entire year, just throughout the growing season, which runs from March through November. That's because from December to February, your grass won't be growing very much at all due to the cold temperatures, so you don't need to mow your lawn at all during these times. By sticking to a weekly mowing schedule throughout the growing season, you can keep your lawn in Texas looking fantastic! Your lawn should be mowed on a weekly basis to keep it looking its best. When it comes to how often you should mow your lawn, it's a task that should be performed on a weekly basis. That's because grass in our area grows very quickly, so it needs to be mowed often to keep it from looking unkempt. If you were to skip mowing your lawn for even one week, your grass could get too long and look messy, which can drag down the curb appeal of your property. So, if you want your property to stay looking its best, don't skip out on this important weekly maintenance task . Always rotate your mowing patterns during each mow to ensure you don't cause your grass to lean in one direction or cause ruts to form. The growing season in Texas runs from March through November. Here in Texas, we experience a rather long growing season as it runs from March through November. During this long season, your grass will need to be mowed weekly to keep up with its rapid growth . This task can be tedious, so it's a good idea to hire professionals to do it for you. When you put this vital task in the hands of pros, you can sit back and relax while they do all of the work for you and you can feel confident that your lawn will look great throughout the entirety of the growing season! You don't need to worry about mowing your lawn from December through February. While it's important to have your lawn mowed on a weekly basis throughout most of the year, this task usually doesn't need to be performed from December through February. During this time, the temperature drops significantly, slowing down the growth rate of your grass. Because your grass won't be growing much, it won't need to be mowed . However, not all lawns are the same, and if the temperatures stay higher a little longer than usual, it might benefit from a mow or two during these months. So, you should keep an eye on your lawn to see if it will need a cut, but chances are that you won't need to until the temperatures start warming back up in March.

Fertilizing your lawn is a great way to ensure it has all the nutrients it needs to thrive, but there are two types of fertilizers: liquid and granular. Liquid fertilizer, as you may have guessed, comes in liquid form and is applied by spraying it on your lawn. Granular fertilizer comes as little pellets that are spread across your lawn and they slowly release nutrients into the soil as they decompose. Both have their advantages, but overall, granular fertilizer tends to be better for your lawn in Texas because it provides nutrients over an extended period of time and there's less chance of it causing fertilizer burn. When it comes to how often you should fertilize your lawn, you should do so 5 times between spring and fall so that it always has enough nutrients to feed off of throughout the year. What are the differences between liquid and granular fertilizers? As the names imply, liquid and granular fertilizers differ in how they're applied to your lawn. Liquid fertilizer comes in a liquid form and is applied by spraying it onto your lawn. It will sink down into the soil and immediately begin providing nutrients to the roots of your grass. Granular fertilizer comes as little pellets that you need to spread across your lawn. As it begins to break down, these pellets will slowly release nutrients into the soil below , which will benefit your grass. The three main nutrients in most fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Why is granular fertilizer better than liquid fertilizer for your lawn in Texas? While both liquid and granular fertilizers provide essential nutrients to your lawn, granular fertilizer tends to be better for your turf here in Texas for several reasons. First, granular fertilizer releases nutrients gradually over an extended period of time . This is beneficial because your lawn will be able to feed off of these nutrients for a while. While liquid fertilizer also provides nutrients for your grass, it does so all at once, so your grass will run out of nutrients to feed off of much quicker. Also, there's less of a chance of your lawn suffering from fertilizer burn with granular fertilizers since the nutrients are released slowly. Liquid fertilizer supplies nutrients all at once, so if you use too much, it could result in fertilizer burn and damage your grass. How often should you fertilize your lawn in Texas? If you own a home in Texas, you should fertilize your lawn five times between spring and fall to ensure it receives enough nutrients to flourish throughout the growing season. Each application should be spaced about, starting in early spring and ending in late fall. That way, your grass never runs out of the nutrients it needs to grow strong and healthy . During the winter season, your lawn won't need extra nutrients since it won't be actively growing. However, it still needs some to store for when spring arrives and the growing season starts again.

If you're a property owner in Texas, it's vital to replenish the mulch in your landscape beds once or twice per year, as it decomposes over time and loses its beneficial properties when it does. Not only will doing this make your landscape beds look great, but it'll also provide all its intended health benefits to your plants, such as retaining soil moisture, protecting their roots, and more! Spring and winter are the best times to refresh your mulch, as the former prepares your landscape beds for the growing season while the latter protects them during the colder months. You should replenish your mulch ground cover once or twice a year. It's best to replenish the mulch in your landscape beds once or twice a year to maintain its effectiveness. Over time, mulch undergoes natural decomposition and breaks down into smaller particles since it consists of organic materials. As it decomposes, it releases nutrients into the soil, but it loses its other beneficial properties and becomes less effective in fulfilling its primary functions. To ensure the continued benefits of mulch, replenishing it once or twice throughout the year is necessary. Why is it important to replenish the mulch in your landscape beds? Replenishing the mulch in your landscape beds is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it keeps them looking fresh and well-maintained . A layer of new mulch brightens the overall appearance of your softscapes, giving them a clean and uniform look, which will instantly improve your property's curb appeal. Moreover, fresh mulch provides a range of benefits that promote the health of your plants. One of its key advantages is moisture retention. Mulch acts as a barrier, reducing water evaporation from the soil and helping the plants retain necessary moisture. This water-conserving property is especially crucial during hot and dry periods. It also provides insulation for the soil, protecting the roots of your plants from extreme temperatures . It keeps the soil cooler during hot summer days and warmer in the winter. Mulch serves as a natural weed suppressor, preventing weed seeds from reaching the soil in your landscape beds and germinating.  When is the best time to replenish your mulch ground cover? The best times to replenish your mulch ground cover are in the spring and/or winter . These seasons offer distinct advantages for mulch application and ensure optimal results for your landscape beds. For example, doing it in the spring prepares them for the new growing season by regulating soil temperature so the brutal heat of summer doesn't harm the roots of your plants and retaining moisture to keep them hydrated. Winter is another suitable time for mulch replenishment. By adding mulch to your landscape beds during this time, you provide an extra layer of insulation for the soil, which can protect the roots of your plants from colder temperatures and help them survive until next spring.
