seasonal lawn

Where in Texas—on the coast? What kind of grass do you have and what did you winterize with? Inquiring minds need to know!

Our grass is mostly centipede/St. Augustine. Way to early to fertilize, the reason being—fert will cause the grass to green up and if you do it too early and the temps drop again, it will really hurt it. End of Apr/first of May is good here on the coast of NC.

Time here to put out pre-emergent, depending on what weeds you have. You can go on-line or check with your local ag extension agent/garden center for more detailed info.

Ok, I did my homework like you asked. I am in Dallas. I have a bermuda grass and my goal was to do the following just before winter. I wanted to lay down a Scotts Turfbuilder w/ Crabgrass preventer and then a few days later a Scotts Turbuilder w/ Winterguard. Stupid me layed the Scotts Turfbuilder w/ winterguard first and did not figure it out until i went to lay the other. I called the local nursery and asked if it was ok to lay the preventer after the winterizer and they said no.

Now i have a dormant lawn and am starting to see some green spots intermittently and am looking for guidance.

The lawn was laid by the builder when we built the house about 2 years ago.

Does any of that help clear up my situation?
