Houston Lawn Care Services

Do I really need professional services when my yard looks just fine?
It never helps to invest in making sure it stays that way. What appears to be fine on the surface may not be so fine underneath. You may be assuming that green grass means a healthy lawn, but you may not be able to see what is happening beneath the blades of grass. Insects and fungal growth may be eating away at the grass without themselves being visible. Later, when their effects can be seen, the cost of repairing the damage can be very high.

Should I get rid of my San Augustine grass if all my neighbors have it as well?
No. You just need Exterior Worlds to diversify your yard a bit. There are a number of grasses we can then install to make any Houston lawn look incredible when compared to neighboring yards. In most places throughout the city, San Augustine predominates. The thing about San Augustine that makes it so unique is that it grows just as well in the shade as it does in the sun. If we add Bermuda and Zoysia grass to sunny areas on a selective basis, we can still make any Houston yard look entirely unique in comparison to those around it.


What do exactly to you do to add more grass to a yard?
Exterior Worlds lawn specialists start by tilling the existing soil to help even out its consistency. They then add soil amendments and minor nutrients to help new grasses get started. In almost all instances, existing soil requires new sod laid out neatly in cut blocks, which are then pressed with rollers into existing soil. This creates a new, softer consistency for roots systems to form.

What are some hazards to my yard I should be aware of?
There are both natural hazards and the hazards of human error. Natural hazards include fungi and pests, over watering, under watering, and foot traffic. Many people also try to shave off costs by hiring a yard services company to install new grasses. These companies often prepare the soil incorrectly and fail to build adequate drainage systems into unevenly proportioned elevations.

On the other hand, Exterior Worlds often builds concealed drains into a lawn so as to provide immediate and effective water runoff. Without such drain systems, many yards would flood and grass and garden species would quickly die or fall prey to fungal infections. We also know how to protect a lawn against the many natural hazards that plague it, and we know how to avoid the mistakes made by yard service companies. Advanced botanical training, supervision, and experience all play a role in differentiating our services from those of our competitors who often only cut grass and trim hedges.

How much do your lawn care services cost?
Pay as you go rates will vary based upon the size of your property and the labor involved in the installation and maintenance of both new and existing grasses. The best way to obtain these services cost-effectively is to bundle them into a landscape maintenance contract. This can include such things as regular fertilizing, pest control, watering, mowing and trimming, and replanting. This ensures that your yard will continue to remain vibrant and attractive year round regardless of external climatic conditions.
