How Seasonal Lawn Care Keeps Your Texas Yard Healthy Year-Round

Maintaining a lush, green lawn in North Texas isn’t just about mowing once a week—it’s about understanding what your yard needs each season. Between hot summers, dry spells, and occasional freezes, your grass requires strategic care to stay healthy all year long.

At Prestige Landscape & Design, we specialize in lawn maintenance and seasonal care tailored for DFW’s unique climate. From irrigation adjustments to fertilization timing, here’s how to keep your Texas lawn thriving through every season.

1. Spring: Prepare and Strengthen Your Lawn

Spring is the season of renewal—and the ideal time to revive your lawn after winter dormancy.

Key tasks for spring lawn care:

• Aerate the soil: Loosens compacted dirt and allows roots to breathe.
• Fertilize early: Use a slow-release fertilizer to promote strong root growth.
• Apply pre-emergent weed control: Stops crabgrass and other weeds before they sprout.
• Inspect your irrigation system: Make sure sprinklers and drip lines are working efficiently.

At Prestige Landscape & Design, our team provides seasonal lawn treatments that jump-start healthy growth and prevent early weed competition.

2. Summer: Protect and Hydrate

Summer in Texas can be brutal. Intense sunlight and triple-digit temperatures quickly dry out soil and stress your grass.

How to keep your lawn healthy in summer:

• Water deeply, not frequently. Deep watering encourages roots to grow stronger and deeper.
• Set smart irrigation schedules. Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
• Raise your mowing height. Taller grass provides shade for roots and retains moisture.
• Watch for pests. Chinch bugs and grubs thrive in hot, dry conditions—treat immediately if spotted.

Smart irrigation systems are one of the best ways to save water and money during this time. Prestige Landscape & Design installs weather-based controllers that automatically adjust watering based on local forecasts.

3. Fall: Repair and Rejuvenate

Fall is the perfect time to prepare your lawn for cooler months ahead. Grass roots are still active, making it an ideal period for repair and growth.

Fall lawn care checklist:

• Overseed bare spots to fill in thin areas.
• Apply fertilizer rich in potassium to strengthen roots before winter.
• Rake and mulch leaves to avoid suffocating your grass.
• Aerate again if needed to relieve soil compaction from summer heat.

These steps ensure your lawn stays thick and healthy going into dormancy.

4. Winter: Maintain and Monitor

While many North Texas lawns go dormant in winter, that doesn’t mean they stop needing attention.

Winter lawn care tips:

• Keep mowing occasionally. Even dormant grass benefits from trimming at a higher height.
• Monitor for drainage issues. Winter rains can reveal low areas that need regrading or French drains.
• Service your irrigation system. Shut off and drain if temperatures drop below freezing.
• Plan for spring upgrades. It’s a great time to schedule design consultations or maintenance plans.

Prestige Landscape & Design offers year-round maintenance services to keep your landscape performing its best—no matter the season.

5. The Importance of Seasonal Consistency

Many homeowners focus on their lawn only when problems appear—but proactive care prevents damage before it happens. Regular seasonal maintenance keeps your yard balanced, resilient, and cost-effective to maintain.

Benefits of consistent care include:

• Stronger, deeper root systems
• Reduced pest and disease problems
• Fewer weeds and bare patches
• Improved water efficiency

By aligning your care schedule with the Texas climate, you’ll have a lawn that stays green longer and recovers faster.
