Seasonal Lawn Care

A successful warm-season lawn transition in early fall is about timing, balance, and prevention. By feeding the roots, controlling weeds, and adjusting your watering and mowing routines, you’ll set your Bermuda or warm-season grass up for a smooth dormancy and a vigorous spring green-up.

Caring for your lawn after overseeding is where the real transformation happens. With the right combination of watering, mowing, fertilizing, and patience, you’ll soon have a thick, vibrant lawn ready to thrive through the next growing season. Remember — consistency is key.

Turf-Type Tall Fescue stands out as one of the best-performing cool-season grasses for homeowners who want a durable, beautiful lawn with minimal fuss. With its deep roots, strong drought tolerance, and adaptability to a wide range of climates, Tall Fescue Lawn is an excellent balance of aesthetics and resilience.

Adding lime isn’t something I do every year, but it’s one of the most effective long-term steps for a greener, healthier lawn. Balanced soil pH improves nutrient uptake, boosts root strength, and reduces weed pressure.

September lawn care sets the stage for a healthy lawn year-round. Whether you have cool-season grass that thrives in fall or warm-season turf preparing for dormancy, the right balance of fertilization, weed control, and repair work now ensures strong, green growth in the coming year.

Switching from cool-season to warm-season grass is a project, but if you’re in USDA Zones 7–9, it’s a game-changer. My lawn went from a summer struggle to a lush, green, heat-tolerant yard I barely worry about.

Tall fescue might be tough, but August is still a survival month. With 2 inches of morning watering, pest vigilance, low-nitrogen fertilizer, and smart mowing practices, I keep my lawn steady through the heat. Once September arrives, tall fescue naturally bounces back, ready to green up and grow thick again.

A fried lawn in August doesn’t have to be a lost cause. With deep watering, gentle mowing, heatwave lawn recovery practices, and pest checks, you can bring even the most stressed grass back to life. Follow these August lawn care tips, and your yard will thank you with greener, thicker growth come September.

Heat stress happens when grass can't keep up with the heat and lack of moisture. It's like your lawn is overheating and drying out at the same time. Combine high temperatures with dry soil, and you’ve got a recipe for yellowing, wilting, and thinning turf.

Taking care of your lawn in July is all about smart, consistent care. Focus on deep watering, light feeding, careful mowing, and keeping pests and weeds under control. With a little attention now, your lawn can stay lush and healthy—even when the temps soar.

Protecting your lawn from grubs in July is all about vigilance and timing. Whether you choose a chemical treatment or go the organic route, catching the problem early is key to avoiding major damage later in the season.
