Taking care of your lawn in Grandfalls, TX, can be both rewarding and challenging due to the region's semi-arid climate. However, with a little knowledge and some effort, you can maintain a lush and healthy lawn that will be the envy of your neighbors in Skyline Heights, Pecan Acres, and beyond.

Mowing is an essential part of lawn care. Depending on the type of grass you have, you should mow at least once a week during the growing season. Bermuda grass, for example, should be mowed to a height of 1 to 1.5 inches. It's important to keep your mower blades sharp for a clean cut and to mow in different directions each time to encourage upright growth.

Fertilizing is crucial to keep your lawn green and healthy. In Grandfalls, the best time to fertilize is in spring and fall. Use a slow-release granular fertilizer that is appropriate for your lawn's soil type. The local Texas A&M AgriLife Extension office can assist you with soil testing.

Watering your lawn is, of course, essential, especially during our hot Texas summers. However, water restrictions can be a reality in our area, so it's important to water wisely. The best time to water is early in the morning to minimize evaporation. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall.

Fall is the best time to overseed your lawn, especially if you have cool-season grasses like ryegrass or fescue. This will help to fill in any bare spots and keep your lawn looking lush. Aeration and dethatching are also beneficial in the fall. Aeration helps to break up compacted soil, allowing water, nutrients, and air to reach the grass roots more easily. Dethatching removes the layer of dead grass and debris that can accumulate on top of the soil, which can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots.

Keep in mind that every lawn is unique, so what works for your neighbor's lawn in Grandfalls Park might not work for yours. But with a little time and effort, you can have a lawn that is not only beautiful, but also a great place for outdoor activities and a source of neighborhood pride.
