LAWN CARE CALENDAR
ABC Proudly Serves San Antonio & The Surrounding Areas:
Before you fertilize your lawn, understand that you will need to wait 24 hours until you water. Waiting a full day before watering gives the fertilizer time to settle into the lawn. Experts recommend applying fertilizer just before an expected rainfall of at least one-fourth inch of water. It’s possible to do all this yourself, but hiring a professional can make it much easier.

Knowing how to handle every aspect of your lawn maintenance correctly can be difficult on your own. Here are a few of our lawn professionals' most commonly asked questions:
Should I Fertilize Before or After Watering?
These numbers show the list of nutrients and their values. This is the N-P-K ratio, which stands for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Fertilizer packaging lists the fertilizer’s N-P-K content in percentages. These percentages reflect the weight of each nutrient in the fertilizer mixture.
What Do the Numbers on Fertilizer Mean?
What Kind of Grass Do I Have?
Nearly all perennial grasses found in the U.S. fall into one of two categories: cool-season grasses and warm-season grasses. A cool-season grass growing in a warmer climate will likely die during the hotter months of summer and will need to be reseeded each year. Lawn grasses in southern regions of the United States are commonly warm-season grasses. These species have their peak growth period during the hotter months of summer.
What is Lawn Aeration?
BROWN PATCH
Brown patch fungus is a common lawn disease identified by round brown patches in your grass. This fungus is most prevalent during the hottest summer months. Brown patch discolorations may range from a few inches to several feet across. It causes previously healthy grass to turn yellow, wilt and brown. It can be difficult to determine what causes this type of fungus, but an ABC professional will be able to identify and offer suggestions to resolve brown patch.
While there are some lawn issues that homeowners can handle on their own, others require professional care.
GRUBS
Grub worms are common destroyers of lawns across the country. These critters tend to prefer warm-weather lawns and can be a real nuisance in Texas. White grubs tend to feast on grasses like St. Augustine, Bermuda grass, buffalo grass and Zoysia grass. Grubs can cause extensive damage and are most destructive during their larval stages. Since these pests can even attract predators, causing more lawn damage, grub control is best when handled by ABC professionals.
YELLOW SPOTS
When homeowners see yellow spots on their grass, they can quickly fear the worst. However, one of the most common causes of yellow spots in the grass is caused by dog urine. Another simple cause of yellow spots is using too much fertilizer. However, sometimes the issues are far more serious like lawn pests and fungal diseases. Many homeowners find it easier to rely on ABC lawn care specialists to maintain their yards and take the guesswork out of problems like yellow spots.

By definition, aeration is the introduction of air into a material. In this case, the material is the dirt in your lawn. Aeration is important because the soil that grass grows in can get compacted over time due to foot traffic and everyday use. Soil compaction starves the grass’s roots of water and nutrients. Without the proper tools and experience, lawn aeration can be tricky. Let the pros at ABC take this task off your list.
MOWING
During the colder months of the year, when most varieties of grass go into their dormant phase, you shouldn’t have to mow your lawn often, if at all. During the warmer seasons, however, you’ll need to mow regularly. The most important thing to consider when it comes to cutting your grass is the optimal height to maintain a healthy sprout.

ABC'S LAWN CARE TIPS
WATERING
Your grass typically needs no more than two inches of water per week during the summer months. Water plants in the early morning or late evening when winds are calm, and temperatures are lower. If you need assistance with sprinkler repair or scheduling watering, contact an ABC specialist for Irrigation services.
