This?

Or this?

The humid sub-tropical climate in north Texas means that the winter and summer are very different. In the summer, we use Bermuda and St. Augustine grasses since they tolerate our triple digit temperatures. Bermuda and St. Augustine grasses are dormant during our winter months. For this reason, if you want your lawn to be green all year, you have to plant winter rye grass. Winter rye grass is usually planted in October. A general rule is that when the temperatures at night are consistently around the 60°F range, you are ready to plant. Rye grass will start to die in early April. Stop watering the grass for a couple of weeks to let it die out, and then begin watering again to awaken your dormant Bermuda or St. Augustine summer grass. There is basically one reason that people will have only summer grass. Planting winter rye grass takes some effort. It isn’t terribly difficult, but you do have to do it! Guess what? We can do it for you! Which takes away the only reason that you would pass up this beautiful lush grass. This grass will have your neighbors coveting your yard. Give us a call! 817-495-3211

    I was wondering if it would be possible to get a formal letter from your company that states the right time and/or season for rye grass. I would also like it to state the properties of the grass, and the correct steps for seeding.

    I have a landlord that is claiming that I killed her rye grass during the summer season and is now claiming I owe her money to re-seed the lawn.
    I have been advise to get three letters from nonpartisan landscaping professionals to prove my point. You and your company will not be called upon as witness to anything the only thing I need is a letter.

    I will be putting my house on the market this fall and would like to find an experienced landscaper now to get the yard, trees, and flowerbeds looking their best at a reasonable price prior to putting my house up for sale. Possibly want to overseed with winter rye grass. Please call me to discuss further.

    Regards, Blake
