Lawn Care
Mowing, feeding and weed control that keeps a yard on schedule, with a local Dallas-Fort Worth contractor and the appointment set on one call.
Lawn Care in Keller runs on Dallas-Fort Worth rules. The lawns are Bermuda and St. Augustine, with zoysia in some shaded yards, the soil is heavy black clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry, and the climate is long, hot summers with stretches over 100 degrees, mild winters and a spring storm season. That combination decides what good lawn care looks like here: the services below are the ones local contractors actually book in Keller, sequenced for this grass and this soil rather than copied from a national checklist.
Keller sits mid-pack for coverage in Dallas-Fort Worth, with 2 ZIP codes on contractor routes. It lies roughly 28 miles from Dallas, the metro's coverage anchor, which is why the same contractor routes often serve both. Coverage follows contractor routes, not city limits, so a street on the edge of a listed ZIP is worth a call to confirm.
For Keller homeowners, the local reality is this: chinch bugs in St. Augustine during hot, dry spells; clay compaction that sheds water; crabgrass and dallisgrass in thin areas. None of those is exotic. They are the standard Dallas-Fort Worth list, and a local contractor reads them quickly because they see the same pattern street after street. What changes by yard is which one is driving the decline, and that reading is what the appointment is for.
Clean cuts, sharp edges and a yard that stays on schedule. Typical range $45-$95 per visit.
Feeding timed to the grass, the soil and the season. Typical range $55-$160 per application.
Stop weeds before they seed, and thicken the grass that replaces them. Typical range $50-$145 per application.
Open compacted soil so water, air and seed reach the roots. Typical range $90-$260 per lawn.
Spring wake-ups and fall leaf clearing that reset the whole yard. Typical range $160-$520 per visit.
Lines are open open 9am-5pm cst, mon-sun. A short call covers the service, the yard and the timing, and ends with an appointment booked with a local contractor, not a promise to ring back.

Ranges are typical for residential work in our covered metros. Your contractor confirms the range for your exact job on the call, before you commit to anything.
Spring green-up and pre-emergent timing, summer watering discipline, and fall recovery define the DFW lawn year. In Keller that calendar is not academic. Work booked in the right window costs less and lasts longer, because the grass does half the job itself when the season is on its side. Many DFW communities run twice-weekly watering schedules in summer, so deep, infrequent watering on allowed days matters more than daily sprinkles. Your contractor will set the visit timing against the Dallas-Fort Worth season rather than a national schedule, and will tell you plainly if the job you want belongs in a different month.

Warm season grasses begin real growth as soil warms after the average last frost around mid March, with full green up usually following in April. Early green shoots do not mean the lawn is ready for heavy fertilization that week. Waiting until the lawn has fully greened up gives better results from fertilization and from lawn mowing at the correct height.
For a yard in full sun, Bermuda is usually the easier fit because it handles heat and drought well and recovers quickly from wear. St. Augustine can grow in sun, but it needs more water through summer and needs closer watching for chinch bugs. A lawn mowing and fertilization plan built for Bermuda will keep it dense enough to resist most weeds.
During fast spring and early summer growth, lawn mowing about once a week is typical for Bermuda and St. Augustine in DFW. The guide is the one third rule, which means never removing more than one third of the blade in one cut. Letting spring growth get tall and then scalping it stresses the turf and opens space for crabgrass.
A common planning target is about 1 inch of water per week including rainfall, split across your allowed watering days. On black clay, cycle and soak watering in shorter repeated cycles soaks in better than one long run that ponds and runs off. Watering early in the morning reduces evaporation loss and helps the lawn dry during the day.
