Do this fall
Three jobs for October and November in Sugar Land, Missouri City, and Southwest Houston.
Late Sept to Oct
Fall pre-emergent
Stops winter weeds like henbit, chickweed, burweed, and Poa annua before they sprout. Water it in after you spread it. Weeds that are already up need a different product.

Fall fertilizer picks
Our short list for feeding the lawn before winter. Apply while the grass is still green and growing, follow the bag rate, and water it in.

Freeze protection
Plant covers, faucet protectors, and mulch for new plantings and tender favorites. Have them on hand before the forecast turns.

Lists for the rest of the year.
Warm season
Nutgrass control
Our method is Sedgehammer plus a non-ionic surfactant, spot-sprayed while the nutgrass is young and growing. Plan on repeat treatments, because the nuts underground hang on.

Tools and helps
Weeders, carts, hand tools, and the small helpers that make yard work easier on your back.

Fire ant control for Texas
Baits and mound treatments for Texas yards. Bait works best when the ants are out foraging, so put it down on a mild, dry day.
