Celebrating 4th of July: Keeping Your Warm Season Grasses Healthy in Summer with Mahalic and Sons

With the 4th of July approaching, residents of Caddo Mills, TX, are gearing up to celebrate in style. Fireworks, picnics, and parades all contribute to the spirit and freedom embodied by all Americans on one of our most important national holidays. Amid the festivities, it's also important to pay attention to the health and beauty of your lawns. At Mahalic and Sons, we understand that summer heat can pose challenges to warm season grasses, and we're here to provide expert advice and service to ensure your lawn looks lush and vibrant all through the summer season.

Warm season grasses such as Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine are staples of Texan lawns. These grasses thrive in the warm Texas climate but require specific care during the peak summer months and amidst 4th of July festivities to maintain their vibrant green hues. Here's how Mahalic and Sons can assist in ensuring your lawn remains healthy and verdant during this festive time:

1. Proper Hydration Watering is essential for the health of warm season grasses, especially during the hot summer months. However, overwatering can lead to shallow root growth and make your lawn more susceptible to drought. At Mahalic and Sons, we advocate for deep, infrequent watering, early in the morning to minimize evaporation. This approach encourages the roots to grow deeper, creating a more drought-tolerant lawn.

2. Mowing Practices Height is crucial when it comes to mowing warm season grasses. Cutting your lawn too short can stress the grass and expose the soil to the harsh summer sun, causing it to dry out. Cutting it too tall can expose the unsightly stems and reduce lateral growth. Our team of professionals at Mahalic and Sons are trained to mow at the optimal height, ensuring your grass remains healthy and robust throughout the summer.

3. Fertilization The right fertilization program is vital for warm season grasses during summer. Our team uses slow-release fertilizers that feed the grass over an extended period, promoting strong and healthy growth.

4. Preparing for the 4th of July Celebrations The 4th of July is an exciting time, but it can put stress on your lawn. Extra foot traffic and firework debris can potentially damage your grass. We recommend watering your lawn thoroughly before the festivities begin, which can help protect it from potential harm.
