Amarillo (Spanish for yellow) was named after the yellow sands of Amarillo Creek. Unfortunately, the same shade of yellow creeps into Texas landscapes. If your lawn won't stay green, don't get red in the face. Let LawnStarter’s experts take over your lawn care.

Our pros understand the Texas Panhandle's grasses, pests, and lawn diseases. Plus, they provide specialty services that’ll make your neighbors green with envy.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Amarillo:

Best Grass Types for Amarillo

Amarillo's hot, dry summers require drought-resistant, warm-season grass to shine. Here are the best options for your Yellow City lawn:

• Bermudagrass: This grass is heat- and drought-tolerant and prefers full sun.
• Buffalograss: This native grass doesn’t need much water or maintenance to thrive, but it doesn’t grow well in shade or sandy soils.
• Zoysiagrass: Commonly found on golf courses, Zoysia forms dense, weed-resistant turf that is drought-tolerant and suitable for high-traffic areas.

Pro Tip: Consider water availability, sunlight, soil conditions, and maintenance preferences when choosing grass for your lawn. Our local experts provide tailored lawn care for every grass type.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Depending on your grass type, mow every five to seven days during the growing season. Never remove more than ⅓ of the grass height in one session.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Amarillo

If you are mowing and watering your lawn adequately yet still seeing dead spots and yellowing, you probably have a pest or disease problem. Here are the usual suspects:

• Sucking Insects: Chinch bugs damage grass blades by sucking sap and nutrients.
• Chewing Insects: White Grubs, sod webworms, cutworms, billbugs, and mole crickets eat grass roots and blades, causing wilting and browning.
• Fungal Diseases: Improper fertilization and thatch buildup may cause fungal infections. Brown patch, dollar spot, fairy ring, and take-all root rot are typical in Amarillo.

Pro Tip: Avoid overwatering and thatch buildup to combat fungal diseases.
