- Brown patch disease in St. Augustine grass can
still be a problem into the Fall, so continue to watch for it.
- If you have a dead spot or area that appears stressed
in your lawn, consider chinch bugs as the culprit. They can still thrive
in the Fall.
- For
warm-season grasses like most lawns in the Houston area, the final
nitrogen fertilizer application of the year shouldn't be any later than
September 15.
- Pay attention
to your watering and make sure your landscaping is getting what it needs.
- Damage from
white grubs can appear in September. If you notice a problem, apply soil
insecticide and water it in thoroughly. Ask your local garden store or
contact C4 Landscape & Design if you need suggestions for what kind to use.
- By the second
week of September, complete application of pre-emergent control for
winter-annual weeds on your lawn. You can skip this application if you are
planning to over-seed your lawn with rye grass.
