St. Augustine Grass in Houston

[Endust]

i finally have to start doing something to maintain my lawn.

any recommendations for what needs to be done winter, spring and fall? nitrogen?

(other than hiring a landscaper?)

Plant Zosia instead? ;-)

Applying pre-emergent weed killer (four times a year??) is the single most important thing you can do.

Plenty of schedules like this one on the internet (but don't worry about bugs or grub worms and DO NOT OVERSEED): The Link target="_blank" href="http://www.teasnursery.com/LawnCareSchedule.htm">Tea's Nursery Houston St. Augustine Care Schedule

Good Luck!

WooHorn, thanks for that link... I would imagine the schedule would be similar for the Austin area, right?

 

[Endust]

the link from teas is exactly what i was looking for, thanks.

so, a good organic pre-emergent weed preventer is corn gluten, right?

I've seen a grass a grass in few yards that I think it supposed to require a lot less water and be fairly drought tolerant. building a modern looking house and I wanted something a little differnt anyway. any suggestions?
