Katy Soil Facts
Did you know that soils in Katy, Tx have an average Ph level of 7.87?!!
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.

Katy Lawn Care & Home Pest FAQ

Are your treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes, our treatments are applied responsibly and are safe for families and pets once dry.
How often should I fertilize my Katy lawn?
We recommend 8 treatments to the lawn per year! Our fertilization and weed control program for Katy lawns includes season-specific treatments for your lawn. This includes pre and post-emergents, natural carbon-based fertilizers, and turf root stimulators.
What types of weeds are most common in Katy, and how can I control them?
Crabgrass, nutsedge, and broadleaf weeds are especially common in Katy. Professional weed control combines pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments to keep these weeds from spreading. Check out our Fertilization & Weed Control Program here!
Can fertilization and weed control be done at the same time?
Yes! Our Katy lawn programs combine fertilization with weed control to feed your grass while stopping unwanted growth.
What are the most common lawn pests in Katy?
Chinch bugs, grubs, sod webworms, and fire ants are the biggest threats to Katy lawns. These pests can cause severe damage if not treated quickly.
How do I know if my lawn needs insecticide treatment?
Signs include brown patches, thinning grass, or visible insects in your lawn. Our team can inspect your yard and recommend the right insecticide treatment for your Katy property.
What causes lawn fungus in Katy, and how can I prevent it?
Humidity, excess rain, and poor drainage often trigger fungus in Katy lawns. Brown patch fungus is especially common in Katy. Proper fertilization, irrigation, and preventive treatments help protect your grass.
How often should I schedule sprinkler maintenance in Katy?
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 Katy 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 Katy lawns need a bit more help. Liquid Aeration helps by providing long-term solutions to our Katy customers by breaking down chemical bonds that create soil compaction in the first place. Our aerations help lawns breathe and grow deeper roots.
What pests are most common in Katy homes?
Ants, spiders, cockroaches, and rodents are the most common pests we see in Katy houses.
How do mosquito treatments work, and how often do I need them?
We treat mosquito resting and breeding areas to eliminate adult mosquitoes and reduce future populations. For best results in Katy, treatments are applied monthly.
