How to Keep Your Lawn Green Year-Round

A lush, green lawn doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of consistent care and smart maintenance throughout the year. Seasonal changes, heat, drought, and pests can all take a toll on your yard. The key to keeping your lawn green year-round is a proactive approach that nourishes, protects, and strengthens your grass through every season.

At Anointed Lawn Care, we’ve perfected the balance between professional treatments and homeowner-friendly habits. Here’s how to keep your lawn looking fresh, green, and healthy no matter the weather.

1. Start with Healthy Soil

A green lawn starts from the ground up. Your soil must be rich in nutrients, properly aerated, and balanced in pH for grass to thrive.

Tips:

• Test your soil’s pH at least once a year.
• Add lime or soil amendments if it’s too acidic.
• Schedule core aeration once a year to relieve compaction and improve water and nutrient absorption.

Healthy soil ensures every drop of water and every granule of fertilizer is used efficiently.

2. Follow a Consistent Fertilization Schedule

Your grass needs food just like any other living thing. Regular fertilization ensures consistent growth, strong roots, and rich color.

Anointed Lawn Care’s fertilization program delivers nutrients seasonally:

• Spring: Promotes new growth and recovery from winter dormancy.
• Summer: Builds resistance to heat and drought.
• Fall: Strengthens roots before the cold season.

Consistent feeding keeps your lawn vibrant even during challenging months.

3. Water Deeply, Not Daily

Overwatering can cause shallow roots and fungus, while underwatering leads to dry, brown patches. The key is to water deeply and infrequently.

Best watering practices:

• Water 2–3 times per week, about 1 inch each time.
• Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
• Adjust watering during rainy weeks to avoid saturation.

Our moisture management service helps regulate soil hydration and improve water efficiency.

4. Mow at the Right Height

Mowing too short stresses your lawn and exposes roots to heat. Letting it grow too tall traps moisture and invites pests.

The sweet spot:

• Maintain your grass at 2.5–3.5 inches.
• Keep mower blades sharp to avoid tearing.
• Follow the “one-third rule”—never remove more than one-third of the blade’s length at once.

Regular mowing encourages thick growth that shades out weeds and keeps your lawn lush.

5. Control Weeds Early

Weeds steal nutrients, water, and sunlight from your grass. The most effective weed control starts before weeds even appear.

Our seasonal program includes:

• Pre-emergent applications in spring to stop weeds from germinating.
• Post-emergent treatments for any that make it through.

This ensures your grass—not weeds—gets all the nutrients it needs.

6. Manage Lawn Pests and Disease

Even healthy lawns can fall victim to grubs, chinch bugs, or fungal diseases. Regular inspection and preventive treatments protect your turf before damage spreads.

Anointed Lawn Care’s pest and disease control services target common Texas lawn issues safely and effectively, restoring balance to your yard.

7. Adjust Care by Season

Every season demands different lawn care tactics:

• Spring: Fertilize and apply pre-emergents to jumpstart growth.
• Summer: Deep water, control pests, and mow consistently.
• Fall: Fertilize again to strengthen roots and prepare for winter.
• Winter: Limit traffic, clear debris, and avoid excessive watering.

Following this rotation keeps your lawn green, resilient, and ready for every weather shift.

8. Aerate and Overseed Annually

Over time, foot traffic and weather compact your soil. Aeration opens it back up, letting roots breathe and absorb nutrients.

After aerating, overseeding fills in thin areas and maintains a dense, even lawn that stays green through the year.

9. Protect Edges and Shady Spots

Edges near sidewalks and shaded areas often dry out faster. To maintain uniform color:

• Adjust sprinklers to ensure full coverage.
• Use drought-tolerant grass types for shaded zones.
• Add mulch around trees to help retain soil moisture.

10. Partner with Professionals
