Austin’s summers are brutal, heat, drought, late-season storms, and our yards feel it. Grass that looks okay in April can struggle by July unless you’re giving it real care. At Real Green, we’ve walked countless lawns in Brushy Creek, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and the rest of Austin’s suburbs.
When we show up, we bring more than fertilizers and mowers. We bring local know-how, flexible plans, and a commitment that your yard will look better than when we arrived.
We tailor nutrients to Austin’s soil, often clay, alkalinity, and drought stress come into play. Proper fertilization strengthens roots and helps grass stay resilient through heat and dry spells.
Austin lawns battle lots of weeds, crabgrass, dandelions, clover. We use smart pre- and post-emergent treatments to knock them out before they dominate.
Compact clay soil is common around here. Aerating loosens that compaction so oxygen, water, and nutrients reach roots. Overseeding helps thicken thin spots, especially after summer stress.
Insects like grubs, chinch bugs, and sod webworms can wreck a lawn fast. We offer preventive and curative treatments, mindful of pets and local conditions.
Sometimes your grass is doing all it can, but the soil isn’t helping. We test and correct pH where needed so nutrients can be used more effectively.
Because of our warm climate, these grass types do best:
We’ll recommend what fits your yard’s sun exposure, soil, and neighborhood.
Bermuda grass: great in sun, very durable
Zoysiagrass: tolerates some shade
St. Augustine: works in partial shade, though needs care
