Katy Manor Fall Yard Care Reminder
A fall yard-care reminder for Katy Manor arrives with an important timing detail: Texas A&M AgriLife Extension lists October 15 as the late-season nitrogen fertilizer cutoff for the Houston area. Because that date has passed, residents should not assume a new fertilizer application is called for now. The right schedule depends on the grass, weather and product being used.
Mow for the Lawn You Have
AgriLife’s lawn guidance gives different mowing ranges for different warm-season grasses. Rather than raising every mower to the same setting, identify the turf and keep it within its recommended range. For bermudagrass, AgriLife’s home-lawn calendar recommends 1 to 2 inches and advises against removing more than one-third of the leaf tissue in one cut. That rule helps avoid scalping as growth slows.
Keep Water Paths Open
Rake or bag leaves before they collect in the gutter or over a storm-drain opening, and leave sidewalks clear for neighbors. Harris County Flood Control District warns that debris-clogged drains and culverts can keep rainwater from moving to the bayous, contributing to street flooding.
Residents can consult AgriLife’s fertilizer guidance and its bermudagrass calendar for lawn-specific advice.
