Can You Grow Grass in the Middle of Summer?

Sometimes you don’t have a choice.  If you just moved into a new Houston area home and you don’t want to wait for cooler temperatures is it OK to plant grass now?  Planting grass by seed or sod in mid-summer requires some extra care to ensure that the seedlings have enough moisture for healthy growth.

Although you may have chosen a particular warm-season grass to plant, full establishment may take between two and six months to achieve.  However, proper soil care helps the germination process.  Of course, an alternative to the seeding process is using sod.  Most warm-season grasses are available in sod form.

Whatever you choose to do, know that Laird Landscaping has the answers to planting seed or applying sod on your Katy or Houston area property.  At Laird, they specialize in many of the landscaping needs that you may have 365 days a year.  Call Laird Landscaping at (281) 278-2795 and explore your grass planting options.

Laird did an excellent job landscaping the flower bed behind my pool. As usual, Trey had his experienced crew do everything very professionally.

Mark Corley and his team at Larid did a fantastic job on our backyard project. We had a large space to work with, and Mark and team designed a beautiful patio with stamped concrete, artificial turf, and a set of new trees and star jasmine on the fence. His quote was reasonable, it laid out each scope of work as its own line item, and was transparent. There were no "surprises" along the way that caused additional billings, which I appreciated. Mark came to the house almost daily when the crews were here, to oversee everything. They finished on time and cleaned everything up nicely. I would highly recommend Laird!

I recently had Trey do a landscape project at my house . He and his crew did an amazing job! He listened what I wanted done and delivered a well-designed and well-executed project. I will definitely use him for any future projects and highly reccomend him and his crew.
