Thriving vs. Surviving...
Transitioning from a cool, wet spring to a hot, dry Texas summer can be a bit of a balancing act. One minute your lawn is soaked, and the next it’s bone dry under the blazing sun. Welcome to Texas!
This time of year, it’s not just the heat that challenges our landscapes, but also low humidity and high winds. These factors can dry out your plants faster than you think. So here’s your friendly reminder:
Stay weather aware and proactive. Adjust your watering times as soon as the weather shifts. A well-timed change in your irrigation schedule can make all the difference between a lawn that thrives and one that merely survives.

Rabbit Resistant Plants like Lantana are a MUST in Texas!
Rabbit-Resistant & Drought-Tolerant Plants
If rabbits have turned your garden into their personal buffet, you're not alone. But don’t throw in the trowel just yet! There are plants that offer summer color without being a salad bar for the wildlife.
Here are a couple of our favorites:
- Lantana – This beauty loves the heat, shrugs off drought, and blooms all summer long - often putting on its best show in the fall. Bonus: rabbits usually steer clear of it.
- Garden Phlox – A reliable perennial that blooms in June/July and again in the fall. It’s not only rabbit-resistant but also stands strong through tough Texas seasons.

Garden Phlox are also Rabbit Resistant and bloom in June & July & again in the fall.
Don't Let Grub Worms Destroy Your Lawn
Here’s a quick hint: if you see signs that birds, skunks, or armadillos have been digging around in your yard or flower beds, they’re likely after grub worms. And while those critters are trying to help themselves to a snack, they’re also damaging your landscape in the process.
Birds and other critters love Grub Worms!
Grub worms are especially harmful to St. Augustine grass and tend to gather in lawns near street lights or other outdoor light sources.
Now is the time to treat. A single, well-timed treatment can break the life cycle of the grub worm and help protect your landscape from major damage. This is a once-a-year application. If you're in Lewisville, The Colony, Little Elm, Flower Mound, or Highland Village don’t miss the window to treat Grub Worms!
Call us today at 972-625-2767 to schedule your Grub Worm Treatment!
Whether it’s heat, pests, or persistent wildlife, you don’t have to face summer alone. We’re here to help your lawn thrive, not just survive.
Until next time,
