Lawn Mowing in Plano, Texas
Plano lawns sit on classic Blackland Prairie clay, and many neighborhoods are now 30 to 40 years old, with big trees shading out what used to be full-sun Bermuda. A lot of Plano work is moving the right grass to the right spot: St. Augustine under the canopy, Bermuda in the open, and beds where neither will grow. HOAs in areas like Willow Bend expect a tight edge and a weed-free front yard.
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.

Lawn Mowing for Plano yards
Soil and grass in Plano
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.
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.
Watering around Plano
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.

Mowing glossary
Plain-English definitions for the jargon you will hear from any lawn pro. Bookmark this for your next quote.
- One-third rule
- Never cut off more than a third of the blade at once. Cutting more stresses the grass and browns it.
- Deck height
- The height the mower is set to cut at. It should change with the grass type and the season.
- Scalping
- Cutting so low that stems and soil show. Done on purpose once on dormant Bermuda in late winter, a mistake any other time.
- Mulching
- Chopping clippings fine and leaving them on the lawn, where they break down and return nitrogen.
- Edging
- Cutting a clean vertical line where the lawn meets concrete, so runners don't creep over it.
