Houston Lawn Care Needs
Houston, TX is a Southern town with unique and challenging lawn care needs. With over 848,340 households and an average yard size of 6,944 sq. ft., there’s a lot of lawn to maintain. Luckily, the local Houston TruGreen office can help a fellow Texan out.
From homes to rodeos, they say that everything is bigger in Texas. Unfortunately, when it comes to Houston, the city’s high summer temperatures can mean that lawn diseases and pest problems might be bigger as well. Common issues like brown patch and leaf spot can quickly turn even the greenest lawn into a dry, patchy mess when the warmer seasons arrive.
TruGreen understands that Texas homeowners care about how their lawns look—which is why they offer a complete range of customizable care plans to help you tackle any issue you’re seeing in your yard. We understand that lawns in the south can support a variety of grass types—which is why we start every homeowner with a personalized Healthy Lawn Analysis. If the summer heat is getting to your lawn, your first call should be to TruGreen’s team.
From fertilization and lime application in the winter to targeted weed control and tree/shrub fertilization in the summer, TruGreen PhD certified specialists have the expertise to give Houston residents a vibrant and healthy lawn every season of the year. Having a lush green lawn in the spring and summer requires work throughout the year, not just during the seasons where you get to enjoy it the most.
Our team knows just what your yard needs because they’re local. They understand what works in Houston and can take local climate, soil, and other factors unique to Houston to create a custom lawn care plan. For example, the most common grass types in Houston are Bahia, Bermuda, and centipede grass. Our local experts know these (along with other types that may present) and know what your yard needs and how to care for it. Each TruGreen plan is tailored to your yard’s specific soil condition, grass type, and your usage.
Plus, our lawn care plans come with a Healthy Lawn Guarantee®, which gives our TruGreen Houston customers confidence that when you purchase one of our lawn care plans, you will be satisfied with the results.
Houston, TX is part of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9a, which means the average annual minimum Winter temperature is 20 to 25 degrees (F). Trees and shrubs in Houston can be affected by insects and pests so proactive tree and shrub care is recommended to avoid costly tree trimming and removal later on. Texas’s annual precipitation of 28.9 inches ranks 34th in the country, while its average annual temperature of 64.8°F ranks 4th in the country. As a result, Houston residents often choose to plant marigolds, ageratum, and lantana as well as hosa, salvia, and butterfly weed in their yards. This hot and dry climate for Houston leaves lawns exposed to drought and pests like billbug, white grubs, chinch bugs, and emerald ash borers, meaning that consistent lawn and pest treatment is crucial for keeping trees and lawns healthy. Below are additional climate statistics to keep in mind for your Houston lawn care needs:
- Avg. Spring Temp: 65.1°F
- Avg. Summer Temp: 81.1°F
- Avg. Fall Temp: 65.5°F
- Avg. Winter Temp: 47.9°F
- Avg. Annual Temp: 64.8°F
- Annual Precipitation: 28.9 in.
- Avg. Time to Mow: 21 minutes

In addition to lawn care services, TruGreen offers all of the above services in Houston. Below are details on our tree and shrub care as well as our pest control services.
TruGreen Tree and Shrub Care
If you’re looking for the ideal yard in Houston, you’ll want tree and shrub care as well as lawn service. This maintenance need often goes overlooked. But having a landscape that flourishes with trees and shrubs will not only enhance the overall appearance of your property, it will also help its property value. TruGreen in Houston, TX offers a variety of services for your trees and shrubs that are backed by science. Our service starts with a Tree & Shrub Evaluation conducted by a local TruGreen Houston PhD certified expert. They’ll determine what your landscape needs are and will tailor an approach to give you the yard of your dreams.
TruGreen Mosquito Control
Enjoying your lawn can be ruined by a common pest: mosquitos. These biting insects are a nuisance that can make being outside in your backyard uncomfortable. TruGreen in Houston offers a solution with our Mosquito Defense lawn treatment services. Our TruGreen technicians will spray your yard with professional mosquito repellent, eliminating those biting pests from your yard in 24 hours.

We have a team of PhD-certified specialists who pride themselves in serving the Houston community by creating and maintaining beautiful lawns. They will evaluate your lawn in order to create a plan that’s tailored to your specific needs based on your type of soil, the condition of your soil, the grass type you need, and the Houston climate. All of this is backed by our Healthy Lawn Guarantee. Additionally, we offer mosquito treatment — the TruGreen Mosquito Defense, which is an innovative mosquito control formula. That formula gets rid of biting mosquitoes within 24 hours of the first application.
The Science Behind How TruGreen Works
Our Agronomists
Your lawn care needs can vary greatly depending on where you live. The problems and solutions for lawn care are influenced by factors such as region, climate, and season. That’s why TruGreen has a team of expert agronomists who know and continually research the condition of your region to provide you with the solutions you need for your yard. Additionally, these scientists instruct our team of TruGreen specialists in the TruExpert Certification Program. This allows every specialist to have a thorough understanding of advanced lawn care techniques, products, and equipment. That means every TruGreen service is conducted with the right equipment in the right way at the right time.
Our Specialists
Because your lawn has specific needs, it’s best to approach it with a scientifically-tailored solution. We take the time to certify our lawn care specialists through a rigorous training which requires annual recertification, giving them a TruGreen PhD. That ensures that our specialists develop and maintain their expertise so they can provide you with the results you want. After graduation and certification, TruGreen specialists are ready to evaluate your lawn using the TruGreen Healthy Lawn Analysis®. That analysis allows your specialist to tailor the science-based results to perfectly meet your lawn care needs all year round.
FAQs
Is my TruGreen service guaranteed?
Yes! All TruGreen customers benefit from our Healthy Lawn Guarantee®. That means we’ll come out to service your property as many times as needed between scheduled visits to make any necessary changes so you’re satisfied.
What’s the timeframe between applications?
While it does depend on your plan, typically applications are applied every 4-6 weeks.
Does TruGreen use dry granular or liquid materials when treating my lawn?
TruGreen uses both dry and liquid materials. The type of material we use depends on the time of year as well as what is best for your lawn. You’ll know exactly what we’re using because each time we service your property, we’ll leave a service ticket listing what we used during our visit.
When can pets and families return to serviced areas?
After a service, we advise customers to let the application dry before allowing families and pets to resume enjoying their lawns. That typically means 1-2 hours after treatment. However, the drying time can vary significantly depending on temperature, wind, cloud cover, and other factors which could delay drying time.
