North Texas lawns don’t follow the same calendar as the rest of the country. Our extreme heat, unpredictable freezes, and seasonal soil changes create unique timing needs for grass repair, lawn care, and overall yard maintenance.

Here’s your month-by-month guide to the ideal timing for every type of lawn repair.

January–February

Focus on soil improvement. These months are perfect for lawn diagnosis, soil testing, and planning any major yard restoration.

March–April

Early spring is the best time for:

• Aeration

• Overseeding

• Light weed control

• Corrective grass treatment
  

This is when warm-season grasses begin waking up.

May–June

This is the growing season. It’s time for:

• Lawn fertilizer

• Watering adjustments

• Targeted grass repair for thin areas
  

July–August

Heat protection mode. Address:

• Heat stress

• Brown spots

• Emerging turf disease

• Drought-related lawn problems
  

September–October

Prime time for heavy-duty lawn repair. Aeration, overseeding, and soil amendments thrive this time of year.

November–December

Maintenance and protection. Prep for winter by addressing moisture issues, compaction, and early signs of grass disease.

This is how you stay ahead of seasonal yard shifts—and keep your lawn resilient year-round.
