May Lawn Care Tips from Lawn Ranger: Time to Thrive in The Woodlands

As May rolls in, The Woodlands transforms into a lush, green paradise—and your lawn should be no exception. At Lawn Ranger, we know that May is one of the most critical months for setting your yard up for a healthy, vibrant summer. Here’s how we can help your lawn not only survive but thrive this season.

Why May Matters

With longer days and warmer temperatures, your grass is growing fast—especially those warm-season varieties like St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia that are popular here in Southeast Texas. But with growth comes responsibility. Here’s what you should focus on this month:

Mowing: Don’t Cut Too Short

May is not the time to scalp your lawn. Mow regularly, but keep the blades high—about 2.5–3 inches for most grasses. Taller grass shades roots, conserves moisture, and prevents weeds. Tip: Lawn Ranger offers weekly or biweekly mowing plans tailored to your yard’s needs.

Watering Wisely

Spring rains can be generous, but don’t assume they’re enough. Deep, infrequent watering (about 1 inch per week) encourages strong root systems. Pro Service: Ask us about our irrigation audits and adjustments to ensure your system is running efficiently.

Fertilization and Weed Control

May is prime time to apply a slow-release fertilizer to fuel growth and improve turf color. It's also critical to stay on top of broadleaf weeds and crabgrass before they take hold. Let Us Handle It: Our lawn care packages include professional-grade weed control and fertilization calibrated for local soil conditions.

Watch for Pests

Grubs, chinch bugs, and fire ants become more active in May. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing serious damage. Ask about our pest management add-on—a safe and effective solution for keeping your lawn pest-free all season.

Spring Clean-Up and Mulch Refresh

Now’s the perfect time to clean up fallen leaves, trim shrubs, and freshen up your mulch beds before the summer heat kicks in. Lawn Ranger offers full-service spring clean-ups and mulching—let us help your curb appeal pop.
