Bermuda Lawn Care Program – Colleyville, TX

Designed by Aaron Shehan, Practical Agronomist
& Author of The North Texas Lawn Playbook

— based on real North Texas soil testing

Built for Colleyville’s high-pH clay soils using soil-temperature timing, balanced nutrition, and proactive weed control.

Bermuda Grass Thrives Here—If It’s Managed Correctly

Bermuda thrives in Colleyville when it’s managed correctly.
It fails when it’s overfed, mistimed, or treated with a national one-size-fits-all program.


This program is designed specifically for Colleyville lawns using soil-temperature timing, spoon-fed nutrition, and layered weed prevention—not calendar-based guesswork.

Lawn Care in Colleyville Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Every lawn in Colleyville sits on the same challenging foundation—high-pH clay soil, extreme summer heat, and seasonal weed pressure.


That’s why generic lawn programs fall short.


This program is built specifically for how Bermuda actually grows in North Texas—so your lawn doesn’t just survive, it performs.

Things to Know About Bermuda in Colleyville

  • December–March is dormancy (no growth is being pushed)
  • Lawns wake up based on soil temperature—not calendar dates
  • High-pH clay soils lock up nutrients quickly
  • Excess nitrogen causes surge-and-fade color
  • Strong weed control starts before weeds appear
Strong Bermuda lawns don’t happen by accident.

This program is designed to build a clean, dense Bermuda lawn that naturally competes against weeds.

What to Do Before Your Lawn Wakes Up in Spring

Early green-up doesn’t come from early fertilizer.

It comes from proper preparation.

In this quick walkthrough, you’ll see exactly what needs to be done before the growing season starts to set your lawn up for success.

This is the same approach we use to prepare lawns for our Bermuda program in Colleyville.

How Our 9-Round Bermuda Program Works

Built for Colleyville Lawns -- Not Generic North Texas Programs

  • Round 1 – Winter Weed Control

    Pre-emergent application targets winter weeds like annual bluegrass, henbit, and rescue grass before they emerge.


    This keeps your lawn clean through dormancy and sets the foundation for a healthy spring.


    No nitrogen is applied during this stage.


    A liquid Specticle pre-emergent stops tough winter weeds like annual bluegrass, rescue grass, and henbit before they ever show up.


    In Colleyville neighborhoods, clean winter turf matters—this keeps your lawn looking maintained even in dormancy and sets up a smoother spring transition.

  • Round 2 – Early Spring Protection

    Pre-emergent protection continues, with nutrients introduced only when soil temperatures allow the lawn to use them.


    This early-season approach strengthens weed prevention and supports a smoother, faster green-up.


    A second Specticle® application combined with Nitrogen, Potassium, and our North Texas MicroPak.


    Most companies skip feeding this early—we don’t.


    Early nutrition gives Bermuda a faster, thicker green-up and helps it outcompete weeds as soil temperatures rise.



  • Round 3 – Spring Green-Up & Density

    A balanced Bermuda fertilizer with humic acid supports strong green-up, improved nutrient absorption, and recovery from winter dormancy.


    This is where your lawn begins active growth and starts building density.

  • Round 4 – Early Summer Color & Root Development

    Slow-release nutrients promote steady growth, stronger roots, and consistent color as temperatures rise.


    This prevents excessive top growth while improving overall turf strength.


    A granular, slow-release application of our Bermuda Blend supports steady growth as temperatures climb.


    We focus on:


    Strong root development

    Even color across irrigated areas

    Consistent growth without surge-and-crash cycles

  • Round 5 – Mid-Summer Heat Protection

    Additional potassium and micronutrients improve drought tolerance, heat resistance, and water efficiency.


    Your lawn stays dense and green even during the toughest summer conditions.


    Colleyville lawns are heavily irrigated—but that doesn’t mean they’re healthy.


    This round increases:


    Potassium for stress tolerance

    Micronutrients for color and resilience

    Efficiency in water use

    Your lawn stays thick, green, and durable through extreme Texas heat.

  • Round 6 – Late Summer Recovery

    Targeted nutrients help your lawn recover from summer stress and encourage thick regrowth.


    This prepares your turf for a strong transition into fall.


    After months of heat and traffic, Bermuda needs recovery—not just more nitrogen.


    This application restores:


    Turf density

    Root strength

    Overall lawn uniformity

    Setting your lawn up for a strong fall transition.

  • Round 7 – Fall Weed Control & Turf Support

    Pre-emergent and broadleaf weed control are combined with nutrients to clean up late-season weeds and strengthen the lawn before dormancy.


    This is one of the most important rounds for a clean lawn next spring.


    A liquid Specticle® pre-emergent combined with Avenue South for broadleaf weed control, plus Nitrogen, Potassium, and micronutrients.


    Targets:


    Asterweed

    Spurge

    Fall germinating weeds

    We prevent problems before they start—while still feeding the lawn.

  • Round 8 – Winter Weed Prevention

    A final pre-emergent application prevents winter weeds from taking hold.


    Spot treatments are applied as needed to maintain a clean, uniform lawn.


    A final Specticle® application locks out winter weeds like annual bluegrass and rescue grass.


    We also spot-treat any breakthroughs to keep your lawn clean, uniform, and HOA-ready all winter.

  • Round 9 – Soil Correction with Elemental Sulfur

    Elemental sulfur is applied to gradually improve soil pH and increase nutrient availability.


    This enhances the effectiveness of every future application and supports long-term lawn health.


    Colleyville soils are typically high in pH due to underlying limestone.


    We apply elemental sulfur to:


    Gradually lower soil pH

    Improve phosphorus availability

    Increase micronutrient uptake

    This is one of the biggest differences between average lawns and elite lawns over time.

Special Spring Program for New Customers

If you start in spring, we do it right from day one.

Your first application includes both:

  • Pre-emergent weed control
  • Post-emergent weed control


We target:

  • Broadleaf weeds
  • Annual bluegrass
  • Rescue grass


Most companies ignore grassy weeds early—we don’t.


And if you start in April, we won’t overload your lawn with rushed applications just to “stay on schedule.”
Companies like TruGreen and Gecko Green often do.


We space treatments properly so your lawn—and your investment—are both protected.

What No One Else Tells You About Lawn Care

Some weeds cannot be controlled with standard Bermuda lawn treatments.


These include:

  • Dallisgrass
  • Bluestem


These types of weeds require renovation—not spray applications.

We believe in being upfront so you know exactly what to expect—and can make the right decision for your lawn.
