Texas Spring Lawn Care Tips Announced by AllAboutLawns.com
(PRWeb) February 20, 2007 -- Homeowners in Phoenix and Austin have distinctive lawn care challenges in the springtime, reports AllAboutLawns.com, a comprehensive lawn and yard care resource. An online column this month about Texas and Arizona lawn care reveals that while warming temperatures have arrived in the American Southwest, preparations for a healthy summertime lawn vary greatly by locale (http://www.allaboutlawns.com/lawn-mowing-mowers/spring-lawn-care-in-austin-and-phoenix.php). Lawn care varies dramatically depending on the region, and online resource AllAboutLawns.com has information about lawn maintenance, feeding, pests and general care.
Phoenix and Austin are about 1,100 miles apart. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures on February 11 reached 78 degrees in Phoenix, while Austin had a high of 57 degrees. "That means you may be too late to work on de-thatching grass in Phoenix, and too early to lay down spring weed control in Austin," reports AllAboutLawns.com columnist Gabby Hyman.
In Texas, early spring is the optimal time to prepare Zoysia grass, St. Augustine, or other warm-season lawns for summer, Hyman adds. AllAboutLawns.com forum moderator Dawn West agrees, "Lawns in warm climates need special care, from getting the timing of pre-emergence herbicides right to knowing just when to do spring planting. Early spring attention can make a world of difference."
According to AllAboutLawns.com, many homeowners organize a year-round calendar for routine lawn maintenance with feeding tasks in spring and fall, aerating and de-thatching during dormant months and annual weed control using pre-emergent killers in spring and spot treatment during the summers. February lawn care is directly connected to growing seasons and can change dramatically depending on the region of the country, Hyman writes. In Chicago, February lawn care may consist of moving huge piles of snow to prevent destructive spring snow molds. In Texas, however, February is a great time to rent a power rake or call a lawn care professional for thinning thatch, according to the article.
In Phoenix, the warm season has begun and residents can apply pre-emergent weed applications in granules or powders. With temperatures in the high 70s, it's important to water down any pre-emergent applications and soak it down into the soil, Hyman adds in "Spring Lawn Care in Austin and Phoenix."
