When do grubs damage lawns in Keller?

In North Texas, May and June beetles lay eggs in early summer and the grubs feed hardest from late July through September. A preventive treatment in June or early July stops them before they eat the roots. If brown patches peel back like carpet in August, that's grubs, and a curative treatment is the fix.

How short should I mow my lawn in Keller?

From April to October, Bermuda grows fast enough that weekly mowing is the minimum. Our DFW crews cut Bermuda around 1.5 inches and raise the deck to 3.5 to 4 inches for St. Augustine, edge every visit, and blow clippings off the driveway and street so they don't end up in the storm drains.

How often should a Keller lawn be fertilized?

Bermuda is a heavy feeder. A DFW program usually runs three to four nitrogen feedings from April through early October, with slow-release products in summer so heat doesn't burn the turf. St. Augustine needs less nitrogen and a careful hand in summer, when too much feeding invites gray leaf spot.

What is the best sod for Keller yards?

Sunny DFW yards get Bermuda or zoysia sod. Shady lots under oaks get St. Augustine. We lay sod from April to early June or in September, when roots can knit in before the heat or the cold, and we loosen the clay and add a thin layer of topsoil first so the roots don't sit on hardpan.

Lawn care services in Keller, TX

Keller lots are larger than in most of the Metroplex, often half an acre or more on sandy Cross Timbers soil with post oaks left standing. Big lots make mowing schedules and irrigation coverage the main issues, and post oaks don't tolerate soil changes, so we aerate gently around their roots and never pile fill dirt over them.

We work across Keller, including Hidden Lakes, Bear Creek Park area and Town Center.

Landscaping in Keller

Beds, Rock & Drought-Smart Designs

DFW landscaping has to survive 100-degree summers and watering limits, so we lean on native and adapted plants: Texas sage, dwarf yaupon, salvias, muhly grass and Mexican feather grass, with decomposed granite or river rock where turf struggles.

Dallas–Fort Worth

What Keller lawns are up against

Dallas–Fort Worth lawns live a hard life: heavy clay that cracks open in August, 100-degree stretches that push Bermuda into dormancy, and twice-a-week watering limits in most cities. The yards that look good in July are the ones that got aerated in late spring, fed on schedule, and mowed at the right height all summer. That is the work our local crews do every week across the Metroplex.

Soil

Most of Collin and Dallas counties sit on Blackland Prairie clay. It holds water for days after a storm, then shrinks and cracks wide open in a dry August. Northeast Tarrant County, around Hurst, Euless, Bedford and Keller, runs sandier Cross Timbers soil that drains fast and needs more frequent, lighter watering. Knowing which one you have changes how we aerate, water and fertilize.

Grass

Common Bermuda and hybrid Bermudas cover most sunny DFW yards. St. Augustine takes over under live oaks and pecans, and zoysia shows up in newer builds in Frisco, Prosper and McKinney. Bermuda wants a short cut around 1.5 inches; St. Augustine should stay at 3.5 to 4 inches or it thins and lets weeds in.

Water

Most DFW cities cap landscape watering at two days a week in the warm months, and several, including Dallas and Fort Worth, keep a twice-weekly limit year-round. Check your city's current schedule. With a cap like that, one deep soak per watering day beats short daily cycles, and core aeration matters more because it lets that water reach the roots instead of running off the clay.

Seasonal calendar

A year of lawn care in Keller

February to early March
Pre-emergent for crabgrass and grassy weeds before soil hits 55°F. Scalp dormant Bermuda once, low, before green-up.
April to May
First feeding after full green-up. Weekly mowing starts. Spot-treat broadleaf weeds while they are young.
May to June
Core aeration for Bermuda and zoysia while they are growing hard. Best sod-laying window before peak heat.
July to August
Grub check and treatment as beetle larvae hatch. Watch St. Augustine for chinch bugs in the hottest, sunniest spots.
September to October
Second pre-emergent for winter weeds like Poa annua. Last nitrogen feeding of the year by early October.
November to January
Leaf cleanup under the oaks and pecans. Mowing slows to every few weeks, then stops as Bermuda goes dormant.

FAQ

Lawn care in Keller: common questions

Blackland clay compacts hard, and water starts running off the surface instead of soaking in. Core aeration in May or June, while Bermuda is growing strongly, pulls plugs 2 to 3 inches deep so your limited watering days actually reach the roots. Water the day before so the tines can get through the clay.
