There are a number of considerations that we take into account when selecting lawn grasses for a Houston landscaping design. We focus on choosing species that do well in a hot, humid climate such as ours. The amount of sunlight compared to shade that a certain grass type needs also plays a role. We also have to consider how resilient grass is when it is walked on. Some types of grasses do much better as ornamentation than they do as a travelled foot area.In parts of the yard where dappled shade creates a blend of light and shadow under large trees, one of the best lawn grasses to use is St. Augustine. This is the most common grass species we tend to find when we begin a new Houston landscaping project. Often, we do not have to plant more grass, but rather work out a strategy to better maintain the grass that is already growing.
The reason why St. Augustine grass often turns an unattractive brown is because it is growing in direct sunlight, where the heat and excessive light wither its blades. It can also become diseased when over-fertilized and over watered. Our job often involves creating a landscape maintenance plan that involves restoring a healthy look to St. Augustine grass and maintaining its vibrancy, color, and texture throughout the year.
