Spring Lawn Checklist for Sherman & Texoma: 7 Steps for a Thicker, Greener Lawn
Spring Lawn Checklist for Sherman & Texoma: 7 Steps for a Thicker, Greener Lawn
Spring is when North Texas lawns either get ahead — or spend the whole year catching up.
If you want a thicker, greener lawn in Sherman, Denison, Howe, Van Alstyne, Pottsboro, and Texoma, here’s a simple checklist that works.
1) Clean Up the Turf
Rake out leaves, debris, and leftover winter buildup. A clean surface helps sunlight and water reach the soil.
2) Fix Mowing Height Early
Cutting too short in spring weakens turf and invites weeds.
A good rule:
- Bermuda: don’t scalp it
- St. Augustine: keep it higher to protect roots and soil moisture
3) Pre-Emergent (Timing Matters)
Pre-emergent stops weeds before they germinate, but timing matters in North Texas. If you missed it, we can still reduce weeds with proper post-emergent strategy.
4) Start a Fertilization Plan (Not Random Feeding)
Fertilization should match your grass type and the season. A structured plan beats guessing.
5) Spot-Treat Broadleaf Weeds
Dandelions, henbit, chickweed, and clover need targeted control. Don’t blanket “weed and feed” without a plan.
6) Check Irrigation
Even a small leak or clogged head can cause thin spots fast. Spring is the best time to catch problems early.
7) Commit to Consistency
The healthiest lawns in Texoma aren’t perfect because they “got lucky.” They’re consistent with mowing, weed control, and seasonal nutrition.
That’s exactly what our program is built for:
