We had an outbreak of these in the fall of 2018. Pretty much every bermuda lawn had them. This year isn`t as bad as 2018, but we have seen them in many of our bermuda yards. So, what caused them, and what do all these armyworms do to lawns? Armyworms love summer rains, which we`ve had plenty of this year. They cause short-term damage to lawns and landscapes by chewing the leaves off of the plants. Armyworms don`t like St. Augustine, but if they are in a bermuda lawn, they can leave it looking like a lawnmower scalped it on the lowest setting in a matter of days. The good news is your grass isn`t dead. It`s just cut back, and it will eventually fill back in. It may look bad for some time, and the armyworms are creepy, but there`s no long-term damage. The treatment for armyworms is to spray an insecticide such as Bifenthrin or wait for them to pass.

Our July has been cool and wet, so most lawns in the area are lush and green as we head into August (which is not typical.) In today’s video I`ll share with you everything we’ve been seeing in our customer’s lawns, as well as some great takeaways about the importance of proper watering. There is one crucial thing I bring up toward the end of my mid-summer lawn update. It is about chinch bugs which are, in my opinion, the biggest threat to North Texas lawns. We’re heading into the time of year when we see less rain and temperatures will get hot, and lawns become dry. This is the kind of weather chinch bugs thrive in, and make no mistake, they can destroy your yard.

[{"type":"0","id":"YG86RRQ--DQ","title":"How Do You Get Rid of Nutsedge in Your North Texas Lawn? - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"1:36","description":"Nutsedge is a weed we see a lot of in the summer months in North Texas. It is a dark-green leafed weed that looks a lot like grass that is sticking straight up. But nutsedge isn`t a grass even though it is usually mistaken for a grassy weed. This confuses homeowners who try and treat it with a grassy weed product that does nothing. If you look closely at or feel nutsedge, you`ll notice the leaf isn`t flat, and it is triangular – that`s what makes it different from a grassy weed (they have flat-bladed leaves.) Another annoying trait of nutsedge is that it grows remarkably fast once cut (which drives homeowners nuts!) So how do you get rid of nutsedge? The truth is there isn`t a product that kills it. And trying to pull it up by the roots is not a good idea because nutsedge has nuts attached to the roots. You can pull up the first one, but if you don`t get the second one, and in our North Texas clay soil, you rarely get the second one, you will end up splitting it, resulting in even more nutsedge. The best tip is to go with a product that will stunt it (hopefully for the season.) I discuss these products in today`s video to stop nutsedge from growing (hopefully for the season.)

The weed, which is a perennial, is called Dallisgrass. This nasty weed is perennial, which means it comes from a root and cannot be controlled by a pre-emergent. Your best option for a large patch of Dallisgrass is to apply Roundup and then re-sod the area. If you find a small patch of Dallisgrass in your lawn, your best course of action is to dig it up because Dallisgrass is a spreader. If left unattended, it will spread and eventually choke out your Bermuda and St. Augustine.

[{"type":"0","id":"XlTwbMV1_bc","title":"Late Spring Lawn Update for North Texas - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"2:42","description":"In today`s video Ken gives a quick late spring update for North Texas lawns. The big news is that we`ve had a lot of rain in North Texas (in the past two weeks we`ve had 10 days of rain!) That means most lawns are bright green and filling in. Any areas with freeze damage are starting to look much better. We are seeing a few fungal issues in St. Augustine and Zoysia lawns but for the most part things are looking good. Our guess is in the next few weeks we are going to be wishing we had all this rain and moderate weather back as we head into summer and start drying out and having hot weather. That is why it is important now to make sure your sprinkler system is ready for summer watering. If it is not your lawn will become stressed when our temperatures start hitting the nineties and our conditions become more dry. If you want to do it yourself you can check out our tips for checking your sprinkler system on our website. Or give us a call at 972-495-6990 and let one of our certified sprinkler technicians come out for a system check and to help you program your controller for proper summer watering. The other thing we`re focused on now is spot treating for summer weeds like crab grass and nutsedge and putting out treatments for chinch bugs, grubs, and fire ants. We typically don`t see any grub or chinch bug issues in late spring, but now is the time to do preventative measures for both (especially chinch bugs which thrive in our hot, dry months.)

[{"type":"0","id":"XNomuFiXhuU","title":"How to Prevent Brown Patch in your St. Augustine Lawn - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"1:43","description":"Late spring is the time of the year in North Texas when our temperatures are getting warmer, and we get a lot of rain. These conditions can cause Brown Patch in St. Augustine lawns. How do we go about fighting this nasty little fungus that thrives on warm, damp conditions? Prevention is the best bet in spring (in fall, we can treat it with a fungicide.) The good news is that Brown Patch generally only makes your lawn look bad. It won`t kill it. Many people leave Brown Patch untreated, taking steps to prevent it after it goes away. If you want to prevent Brown Patch in your St. Augustine lawn, we recommend the following tips. • Sprinkle in the morning (to avoid water standing overnight.) • Avoid allowing water to puddle in the lawn. • Use a low nitrogen fertilizer in early spring (brown patch fungus feeds on nitrogen.) • Use a preventative such as PCNB before brown Patch occurs. • If you see brown patches in your lawn, spot treat the areas to prevent them from getting larger. • And the best tip? Hire Village Green to handle your fertilization and weed control. Our Signature Fertilization & Weed Control + Insect Protection Plan allows Village Green to be in your yard every month to month and a half. And we`re not just spreading fertilizer on these visits. We are inspecting your lawn and looking for potential problems that we will fix or notify you of to decide how to handle them best. That`s what Village Green does. And why we`ve been in business since 1980. We give you the lawn of your dreams without worry or work so you can concentrate on more important things.

Granted grub worms are scary looking (they remind me of the creature in the movie Alien.) But as dangerous as they may look grub worms rarely cause any damage to North Texas lawns in the spring. When they cause damage in our area is in July and August which is why we recommend a grub preventative be applied in May and June. Truthfully though, grub damage in North Texas isn`t caused so much by the grubs as animals trying to get to them in your lawn. In our area that is typically armadillos who can do some serious damage tearing into a lawn looking to feast on grub worms. If you would like to protect your lawn from grub worms as well as fire ants, chinch bugs, and most other lawn insects you should consider Village Green`s most popular lawn care plan. Not only does it provide fertilization and weed control for your lawn it also offers protection from fire ants, chinch bugs, grubs, and most other lawn insects that plague North Texas.

[{"type":"0","id":"0Sjni5LtYAA","title":"Why Isn`t My North Texas Lawn Greening Up this Spring? - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"2:58","description":"In today`s video, Ken gives a quick spring update on what we see in our fertilization and weed control lawns. A little over a month out from our record-breaking February freeze, most of our lawns are in what we call a tweener stage. There is a little green here and there in some lawns, but most are not out of dormancy yet. Probably only 20% to 30% in our area. That will change over the next few weeks, and we should start seeing the majority of our lawns green up nicely. Our fertilization and weed control plan is not a one-size-fits-all program, so our application is customized specifically for your lawn. That means we pay attention to the conditions and do what will be best for the long-term health of your lawn. Bermuda lawns will get treated with a good nitrogen fertilizer, pushing the grass to green up quicker. St. Augustine lawns get the opposite treatment. A tropical plant, St. Augustine, is typically stressed after our winter months, so we apply a 5/10/31 ratio fertilizer which pushes root growth over top growth. If we pushed top growth to green up the lawn faster, we would be doing the lawn more harm than good in the long run. Root health is vital during these treatments and will pay off in a lush lawn later this year. We are also putting out a pre-emergent on most of our lawns to help prevent spring and summer weeds. If the lawn is stressed, we will forgo the pre-emergent and apply a root stimulating fertilizer that will help the plant green up a little bit now but is really about long-term root health, which will produce a fuller, greener lawn later on this year.
