As temperatures climb and the days grow longer, your lawn shifts into high gear. But in Texas, early summer brings heat, dryness, and fast-growing weeds—and your yard needs a strong start to stay healthy and green through the hottest months ahead.
Whether you're a weekend warrior or prefer professional help, here's your step-by-step guide to early summer lawn prep in Texas, along with how Limitless Landscaping can take the work off your plate.
Cutting grass too short in summer leads to burnt blades and weak roots.
✅ Set your mower height to 3–3.5 inches
✅ Mow regularly, but avoid cutting more than 1/3 of blade height
✅ Sharpen mower blades to prevent tearing
✅ Leave grass clippings to provide moisture and nutrients (mulch mowing)
Taller grass shades the soil and helps lock in moisture—key for surviving Texas heat.
Texas summers bring evaporation and watering restrictions, so every drop counts.
💧 Water early in the morning (4–8 AM)
💧 Aim for 1–1.5 inches per week, depending on grass type
💧 Water 2–3 times weekly rather than shallow, daily watering
💧 Consider smart irrigation systems that adjust with weather
Limitless Landscaping can inspect, upgrade, or install a water-efficient system that keeps your lawn hydrated and compliant with local rules.
Fertilizing in early summer boosts your lawn’s growth, color, and drought resistance—but timing and type matter.
✅ Use a slow-release, nitrogen-rich fertilizer
✅ Avoid fertilizing in the middle of heatwaves
✅ Water thoroughly after application
✅ Don’t fertilize dormant or heat-stressed lawns
