Friendswood Soil Facts
Did you know that soils in Friendswood, Tx have an average Ph level of 7.09?!!
That’s really high! Ideally, that number should be around 6 for southern grasses like ours. High pH levels lock up nutrients, making them unavailable to the roots of your turf. This typically reveals itself as a “yellowing of the grass blades, ” poor health, and thin areas.
We often see newer homes using Bermuda grass (Bermuda requires less water), while established homes utilize St Augustine grass. GreenGate performs a free soil test on the very first visit for all of our first-time lawn fertilization customers, which gives us actionable data points for your custom lawn care program.

What causes lawn fungus in Friendswood, and how can I prevent it?
Humidity, excess rain, and poor drainage often trigger fungus in Friendswood lawns. Brown patch fungus is especially common in Friendswood. Proper fertilization, irrigation, and preventive treatments help protect your grass.
How often should I schedule sprinkler maintenance in Friendswood?
We recommend at least 3 system checks per year (Spring, Mid-Summer, and fall/winter), however this is typically not sufficient to keep up with the ever-changing Friendswood weather.
Our sprinkler bundles include regular system inspections and adjustments to ensure your lawn is receiving the proper amount of water regardless of the time of year.
Sprinkler Bundle #3 customers also receive 10% off labor for any repairs needed.
What is the difference between liquid and core aeration?
Core aeration removes small plugs of soil, while liquid aeration uses a treatment that breaks up compaction below the surface. Plug aerations provide temporary relief, however Friendswood lawns need a bit more help. Liquid Aeration helps by providing long-term solutions to our Friendswood customers by breaking down chemical bonds that create soil compaction in the first place. Our aerations help lawns breathe and grow deeper roots.
