Lawn Care in Georgetown

It's usually best to fertilize your Georgetown lawn in early spring or early fall. This can help provide nutrients to your soil during the harsher months  and promote healthy root growth.

The team here at Oak Grove can help you determine exactly what kind of fertilization your lawn needs and get you set up on a schedule to fertilize regularly, or do a one-time project.

Georgetown lawns usually need about 1-1.5 inches of water per week. This can be from rainfall or from irrigation.

For best results, we recommend that you water deeply and infrequently to allow time for the water to really saturate the ground, avoid overwatering, and prep the grass to be as drought-tolerant as possible for the dry months of the year.

If you don't already have an irrigation system or are looking to improve the one you have, Oak Grove can help you with irrigation installation and repairs to keep your lawn healthy this year.

To prevent common lawn diseases in Georgetown, ensure proper lawn maintenance practices such as mowing at the correct height, improving soil drainage, and avoiding overwatering. Additionally, using disease-resistant grass varieties and applying fungicides when necessary can help control lawn diseases.

During the spring and summer months in Georgetown, it's recommended to mow your lawn every 1-2 weeks, depending on the growth rate of your grass. Keeping your lawn at the appropriate height helps to promote healthy growth and reduces the risk of disease.

Between mowing sessions in Georgetown, consider tasks such as removing weeds by hand or with herbicides, applying fertilizer as needed, and addressing any bare patches with grass seed or sod.

To improve drainage in your Georgetown lawn, consider aerating the soil to alleviate compaction, installing French drains or dry wells, and ensuring proper grading to direct water away from your home's foundation.

Best practices for lawn care in the Georgetown climate include selecting drought-tolerant grass varieties, watering deeply and infrequently, providing adequate lawn nutrition through fertilization, and implementing proper pest and weed control measures.
