Lawn mowing in North Texas starts at $40 and varies based on the size and condition of the property. Every yard is different — lot size, grass type, terrain, and how frequently you schedule service all factor into the final price. JHernandez Lawn Service offers free estimates for homeowners across Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano so you get an accurate quote for your specific property.

During the growing season (March through October), most North Texas lawns need mowing every 7 to 14 days. Bermuda grass in peak summer often needs weekly cuts to stay looking sharp. St. Augustine can go every 10–14 days. In fall and winter when growth slows, bi-weekly or monthly cuts are usually enough. Never cut more than one-third of the blade height at once — scalping stresses the grass and opens it up to weeds and disease. JHernandez Lawn Service handles recurring mowing schedules for homeowners in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

Bermuda grass is the most common and generally the best all-around choice for North Texas. It's drought-tolerant, handles full sun, and recovers fast. St. Augustine is ideal for yards with partial shade and gives a thick, lush appearance but needs more water. Zoysia is a lower-maintenance option that handles both sun and partial shade and stays green longer into fall. Our team works with all three grass types across Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

The two most important pre-emergent windows are late February to mid-March to stop summer weeds like crabgrass, and late September to October to stop winter weeds like henbit and annual bluegrass. Timing is based on soil temperature — pre-emergents need to go down before the soil reaches 55°F consistently. Missing the window means weeds are already germinating and pre-emergent won't stop them. We provide weed control treatments for homeowners in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

Most North Texas warm-season lawns benefit from 3 to 4 fertilizer applications per year — early spring when the grass comes out of dormancy, late spring, summer, and optionally a fall application in September to strengthen roots before winter. Avoid fertilizing in late fall or winter — feeding dormant grass wastes product and can cause damage. JHernandez Lawn Service provides lawn fertilization in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

Sod installation cost in the DFW area depends on the size of the area, the type of sod, and the condition of the existing soil. Every property is different — proper grading and soil prep before installation is essential for the sod to take root correctly. Skipping prep causes patchy results or failure within the first season. JHernandez Lawn Service provides sod installation in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

In North Texas, mulch should be refreshed once a year, typically in early spring before the heat sets in. The hot Texas summers break down organic mulch faster than cooler climates. A proper layer is 2–3 inches deep. Too thin and it won't retain moisture or suppress weeds. Too thick and it can trap moisture against plant stems and cause rot. We provide mulch installation across Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

Brown patches in summer are most commonly caused by underwatering, heat stress, chinch bugs, or lawn fungus. Underwatering is the most common cause. Chinch bugs feed on St. Augustine and leave yellowing patches that turn brown. Fungal issues like brown patch disease appear when humidity is high and the lawn stays wet overnight. Diagnosing correctly matters because more water fixes drought stress but makes fungus worse. JHernandez Lawn Service diagnoses and treats lawn issues for homeowners in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

The most common weeds in North Texas include crabgrass, nutsedge (nutgrass), dallisgrass, dandelions, henbit, clover, and spurge. Nutsedge is one of the most persistent — it spreads through underground tubers and resists many standard herbicides. Most are best prevented with proper pre-emergent timing and controlled with targeted post-emergent treatments once established. We handle weed control for properties in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

During a Texas summer, most established lawns need 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. It's better to water deeply 2–3 times per week than lightly every day — deep watering encourages roots to grow down, making the lawn more drought-resistant. Early morning before 9AM is the best time to water since it reduces evaporation and fungal disease risk. Our irrigation maintenance service is available to homeowners in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

Spring and early fall are ideal for sod installation in North Texas. Spring gives the sod an entire growing season to establish before winter. Fall installations work well too if done early enough to root before temperatures drop. Summer installations are possible but require more intensive watering to prevent heat stress during establishment. JHernandez Lawn Service installs sod in Carrollton, Grapevine, Colleyville, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Addison, Flower Mound, Coppell, Highland Village, The Colony, and Plano.

Before a lawn crew arrives, remove any toys, hoses, pet waste, furniture, or obstacles from the yard. Make sure gates are unlocked if they need access to a backyard. If you have a sprinkler system, let the crew know where the heads are located so they aren't damaged during edging or trimming.
