Farmers Branch Lawn Service

Weekly and biweekly mowing is priced by lawn size and access, and fertilization is priced per application by turf area — we measure the actual grass rather than the lot. Everything is quoted in writing and the mowing rate holds for the season. Landscaping, tree work, sod and cleanups are quoted by the job after a free walkthrough.

All of Farmers Branch across 75234 and 75244, from the older streets around the Historical Park and Valley View to Brookhaven, the Marsh Lane, Josey Lane and Webb Chapel corridors, and the neighborhoods near Mustang Station. Just outside the city we also serve Carrollton, Addison, Coppell, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Plano, Grapevine, Colleyville, Highland Village and Corinth.

Most of Farmers Branch was built in the fifties and sixties, and seventy years of tree growth means a lot of these yards are now part shade. St. Augustine handles that better than bermuda, which needs close to full sun and thins out fast underneath a canopy. Zoysia sits between the two.

Two things at once: not enough light, and root competition. A mature pecan or live oak pulls water and nutrients out of the top few inches of soil faster than turf can, so the grass loses on both counts — it is not underfed, it is outcompeted. Raising the mowing height helps, thinning the canopy helps more, and in the worst spots a shade-tolerant groundcover or a mulched bed out to the drip line is a better answer than replanting grass that will fail again.

Five or six applications a year: pre-emergent in late winter before soil temperatures reach the mid-fifties, a spring green-up feeding, a summer feeding with iron, a late-summer application, and a fall pre-emergent with a winterizer. Iron matters here because the alkaline Blackland clay ties it up and the grass goes pale even when nitrogen is fine.

Both, and there is no contract either way. Most customers are on weekly or biweekly mowing, but one-time yard cleanups, trimming visits, single fertilizer applications and installs are all available on their own.

Jose Hernandez and his own crew. He quotes the work himself, is on the properties, and is who you call or text with a question. No call center, no rotating subcontractor, and no explaining your yard to somebody new every month.
