How Many Lawn Treatments Do You Really Need in North Texas?

Generally speaking, between 7 and 9 treatments for lawn is a good number to ensure that your grass is getting everything it needs.

We know it’s really easy to get caught up on an exact number but what’s really the most important is what’s included in those visits. 

We understand that homeowners get hung up on the number of visits being performed since many lawn care companies even use this as a marketing tactic. They’ll boast about how many lawn care visits they include in their package. But that number is meaningless if they aren’t performing the services that your lawn needs. 

Unfortunately, some companies are even misleading about what’s included each time that they visit. 

While some Texas lawn care programs include a lesser number of visits, there are benefits to choosing a program with a higher number. That’s because there is major value in having a lawn care technician out on your property, keeping an eye on things. If you go too long between visits, problems can arise that could get out of control before anything is done.

What treatments for lawn need to be included in a lawn care program?

As we mentioned, it’s not just about how often a lawn care company is visiting your property but also about what they’re doing while they’re there. You want to make sure that your lawn is getting all of the services it needs.

A lawn care company that offers a thorough lawn care program should be able to offer services addressing the following.

These are some of the most important services that your lawn will need and you want to make sure that they are incorporated into any lawn care program that you are considering.

How many treatments for grass does Grassperson perform?

At Grassperson, we include 7 strategically timed lawn care visits in our baseline program. These are ideally spaced out to provide your lawn with all of the individual product applications needed from early spring through late fall.

One of the most important reasons for this spacing is that it puts a lawn care technician on your property every 6 to 7 weeks. As we mentioned, this is where a lot of the value of a Texas lawn care program comes in. 

With a professional eye out there, looking for problems as they arise, it allows for any issues to be addressed promptly. This is a huge value in and of itself considering the fact that some lawn care problems can end up being costly to fix if not caught early on.

When to treat a lawn? And why it’s an important factor in treating your lawn

The timing of lawn care visits is equally as important as the specific, individual services that will be performed during each visit to your property. That’s because certain materials need to be applied at very specific times of the year in order to be effective.

Take pre-emergent weed controls as an example. These must be applied prior to germination since they work by stopping germination from occurring. 

Different times of the year will make various lawn services more vital, as well. And the rate of product application will also change. All of this can get a little bit confusing but a lawn care expert will understand what your lawn needs and how to apply it.

Ultimately, you just want to make sure that your lawn care provider is making adjustments based on the time of the year and what your lawn needs.

How skimping when treating your lawn can cost you

We want to be clear that shopping for lawn care based solely on the number of visits can be a mistake. As we’ve said, the more important factor is what’s included in those visits (and that they’re performed at the appropriate times).

But what’s also important is that someone is visiting your property regularly and looking for signs of trouble. When too much time passes between visits, trouble can arise. And with our climate here in North Texas, small problems can become big ones, fast. A little patch of disease can take over your lawn. Or an issue with a lawn pest or a weed can spread. 

That’s why you don’t want to skimp on the number of visits. 

Of course, with our pricing model, you can either pay us on a per-service basis, or spread your annual cost over 12 convenient monthly payments, or prepay for the entire year and receive a discount. 

At Grassperson, we also do not provide no-cost retreatments for customers who want less than our standard seven visits (whereas we would re-treat for free if you’re already on our program). That means if you have a weed breakthrough, you may end up paying for us to come out anyhow in order to re-treat. 

Give your North Texas lawn what it needs to thrive with the best Texas lawn care

Although it can be tempting to get caught up on the number of lawn care visits, we urge you to look beyond that. An ample number is important, but as we’ve explained, there’s more to it than that.

Ultimately, if you choose lawn care services in North Texas that you trust have your best interest at heart, you can feel confident you’re getting what you need.

At Grassperson, we have thoughtfully and strategically structured our lawn care program in a way that it will provide your lawn what it needs. This is not only true from a nutrient standpoint, but also from a weed control point of view. Our program features aptly timed preventative weed control measures that will save you from headaches later on.

In addition, the value of seven visits on your property each season also allows us to diagnose atypical issues and address them before they become serious. 

For instance, if early signs of a lawn disease show up, we can suggest an additional lawn treatment of a disease control product before it gets really bad. Another example is if an unusual weed, like Dallisgrass, emerges that requires a specialty product, you could add that service and treat the weed before the weed has a chance to spread. 

These proactive inspections and recommendations for common, but not always prevalent issues are one of the reasons a seven-visit program is recommended.

We recognize that it can be difficult to navigate different advice that is out there. But we honestly believe that anything less than our seven-visit lawn care program is a 
disservice to you and could easily end up costing you more in the long-run. 

Rather than worrying that your lawn isn’t getting what it needs or having to address an issue that arose because you took a DIY approach or used a professional that takes half measures, you can gain immediate peace of mind by choosing the complete Grassperson program from day one. As a result of this wise choice, you’ll be on your way to having the best-looking lawn in your neighborhood.
