Lubbock, TX lawn care service at the click of a button

Lubbock’s temperamental weather and mighty winds take a lot out of our yards. Thankfully, LawnStarter offers lawn care services like mowing, trimming, and edging so residents of Raiderland can enjoy a beautiful yard without the work.

But keeping a healthy lawn in Lubbock's dry, windy climate requires more than a simple mow and blow.

Whether you need aeration services for Texas’ compacted clay soils, weed control for your water-conserving xeriscape, or help seeding your lawn for spring, our pros deliver all of that and more.

They'll even protect your lawn against pests, weeds, and diseases.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Lubbock:

Best Grass Types for Lubbock 

Warm-season grasses rule in Texas, but cool-season grass can add color during the off-season.

• Bermudagrass: A popular choice for sun-soaked lawns, this grass is drought-tolerant and adapts to Lubbock's clay soils. 
• Buffalograss: Native to Lubbock, this turfgrass grows slowly, and once mature, it only needs one inch of water each week to stay green.
• Zoysiagrass: This deep-rooted variety has excellent shade tolerance and beats the Texas heat while choking weeds. 
• Tall Fescue: A cool-season grass commonly mixed with bermudagrass grass, by seeding in November, Lubbockites can enjoy a green lawn after warm-season grasses go dormant.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? During the growing season (May to September), you should mow your lawn once a week. Reduce mowing to bi-weekly in the late fall until winter dormancy sets in.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Lubbock

Do you see suspicious brown spots or relentless ant hills across your lawn? LBK has its share of aggravating pests. Here's the usual suspects:

• Chinch Bugs: These small insects damage lawns by sucking sap from grass, causing yellowing and turf death.
• White Grubs: The larvae of June beetles, these pests infest lawns and feed on grass roots, resulting in brown patches and unhealthy grass.
• Fire Ants: Lubbock fire ants are aggressive, stinging insects that can create large mounds, posing a threat with their painful bites.
• Fungal Diseases: If your lawn gets too much moisture and too little nitrogen, you could be plagued by fungal diseases like powdery mildew, dollar spot, summer patch, and more.

Our pros identify and treat lawn diseases, giving you a lush, healthy lawn.
