- Bermudagrass
- St. Augustinegrass
- Zoysiagrass
- Buffalograss
- Bahiagrass
| Task | Local window | Why then |
|---|---|---|
| Seed, sod, or sprig | Late May through July | Warm-season grass needs soil above 65 degrees to take hold. |
| Fertilize | April through August | Stop feeding roughly a month before the first expected frost. |
| Core aerate | May through July | Aerate while the lawn is actively growing so it fills the holes back in. |
| Pre-emergent for crabgrass | February 1 - March 1 | Go by soil temperature: apply before it holds 55 degrees. |
Problems local crews deal with most: Extreme heat, drought, fire ants.

Lawn care in San Antonio: common questions
How much does lawn care cost in San Antonio?
A single mowing visit in San Antonio typically runs $44 to $67 for an average quarter-acre lot, and crews bill around $56 an hour for work outside a routine cut. Treatments are quoted per 1,000 square feet: fertilizer and weed control land in the single-digit to low-teens dollars, while core aeration and overseeding cost more because they are once-a-year jobs. Full-season contracts almost always beat per-visit pricing.
Which lawn care company in San Antonio should I hire?
Compare the attributed Google and Yelp ratings rather than any single score, check the company actually offers the service you need, and get two quotes for the same scope rather than one. For spray work, ask for the company's pesticide applicator licence number directly: Texas requires one for anyone applying herbicide or insecticide for payment, and we have no public register for this state to check it against for you.
Does a lawn care company need a licence in Texas?
Yes, for pesticide work. Applying herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides on someone else's property for payment requires a commercial pesticide applicator licence issued by Texas, and the licence carries a number and an expiry date. Plain mowing and trimming generally do not require that licence, so a company can be perfectly legitimate for mowing and still not be licensed to spray. Ask which one you are hiring for.
When should I hire a lawn care company in San Antonio?
Book before the season starts rather than during it. San Antonio runs warm-season lawns, so the calendar that matters is the timing table on this page: pre-emergent goes down off soil temperature in spring, and the seeding and aeration window is the single busiest stretch of the year for local crews. Calling two to three weeks ahead of a window is the difference between getting your date and getting whatever is left.
Is a lawn care service worth it in San Antonio?
It depends on which jobs you hand over. Mowing is the easiest thing to do yourself and the most expensive thing to buy repeatedly. Pesticide application is the opposite: it is the job where a licensed applicator with calibrated equipment and the right product beats a homeowner with a hose-end sprayer. Many people in San Antonio split it, mowing themselves and buying the treatment rounds.
