Lawn Care Tips

Summer is almost here in Texas! Let's talk about how you can keep your lawn healthy while also conserving water! Your grass will thrive and require less water, when you adopt these practices:

DO:

• Cut grass high and let it lie. Taller grass shades the soil, reduces evaporation, and encourages deep roots. But remember, your lawn should not be more than 8 inches in height, according to Hurst’s nuisance ordinance.
• Sharpen your mower blades. Dull blades tear grass, leaving it vulnerable to disease.
• Scout regularly for pests and diseases so problems don’t spiral out of control.
• Use compost to enrich your soil. It boosts nutrients naturally and reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers, which can pollute local waterways.

DON'T:

• Scalp your lawn. Keep grass at the proper height for its type. Shorter isn’t better! You can view our chart of grass types at hursttx.gov/lawntips.
• Apply herbicides unless necessary. Try pulling weeds by hand, especially after watering, when the soil is soft.
• Fertilize warm-season grass in winter. “Winterizing” is unnecessary and can lead to overgrowth and water waste.
• Mow just because it’s the weekend. Mow based on grass height, not your calendar.
