Spring Lawn Care Checklist: Everything Dallas Homeowners Need to Know

April 11, 2025

Table of Contents

It’s Spring season once again and it’s time to actively care for our lawns like previous years. If you own a lawn in Dallas, you might want to read this post. We have discussed lawn care checklist for Spring season. By following these tips, you will have a healthy, lush lawn all year long. Whether it is weed control, pest elimination, soil aeration, proper mowing or simple old lawn watering, knowing when and how to get it right is important to keep your lawn yard in great shape in spring.

Spring Lawn Care

It’s a good idea to start spring lawn care when the ice has begun to thaw and the cold temperature has lifted considerably. Between late March and early April is an ideal time for lawn care in Dallas for spring season. At this time, most lawns are out of dormancy period.

For grasses like Zoysia, St.Augustine and Bermuda species, which are warm-season grasses, start lawn care around late March when they’re just coming out of dormancy. These are species of grass that will hibernate during winter turning brown, but by spring they are green and ready to go.

Spring lawn care in Dallas will require practices like mowing, aeration, weed control, feeding of fertilization and overseeding. When done right, your lawn will likely be the envy of the neighborhood.

Spring Lawn Care Checklist

Here are some lawn care checklists for spring season:

Weed control

Just like new growth of grass is coming up in spring season, weeds are oftentimes growing as well. Therefore, it’s important to tackle weeds early with eco-friendly herbicides. Use pre-emergent herbicides to stop germination of weed seedlings in the soil. When used correctly, this type of herbicide will eliminate weeds to a high degree.
Fertilizer application

Use of fertilizer in spring season is important for the lawn’s health. At this time of the year, the soil is likely in need of nutrient fortification. Introduce a rich blend of organic, slow-release fertilizer into the soil to boost the lawn. Consider this to be a crucial aspect of spring lawn care in Dallas. Water the lawn after applying fertilizer to induce proper absorption into the soil.
Aeration

Spring season is a good time to aerate the lawn as well in a case of soil compaction. This practice will break up clogged soil to improve permeability of essential nutrients, air and water. Aeration also aids plant root development which is an important factor in how well the lawn performs in a year.
Pest Control

Dallas home owners need to know how to control pests at a basic level during spring lawn care. Use bio-friendly traps, natural predators and other non-lethal or toxic means to eliminate pests from the lawn. Rats, snakes, grubs, ants, worms and other unsavory elements have no place in your turf. These pests can be eliminated by either a professional lawn maintenance service or by you if there’s enough experience in dealing with pests. Insects can be tackled with topical sprays, burning and other industrial pesticides while worms and mollusks can be eradicated with diatomaceous earth.
Mowing the lawn

Mowing is by far one of the most important aspects of spring lawn care checklist. Regular lawn mowing helps in maintaining the health of your turf. Keep the mower in good shape and its blades sharp and adjusted to the proper height. Hire professionals like GOMOW Lawn Care Service to handle all your mowing needs. Busy homeowners will find this arrangement more suitable and time-friendly.
Watering tips

Water is important for your lawn’s daily activities just like it is for every living thing. Introduce water deeply but occasionally to encourage a healthy root development. Irrigate your yard once a week during normal weather conditions and twice a week when there is drought. Timing should be in the morning when heat is less in the environment. Hot temperature means faster water absorption and water loss in the soil.
Edging and trimming

Edge and trim flower beds and other shrubs in your yard to improve their look and stimulate healthier growth in their branches. GOMOW Lawn Care Service offers a professional edging and trimming service dedicated to keeping your yard clean, beautiful and well-maintained. Trees aren’t exempted when it comes to spring care; ensure that pruning is done correctly by a landscaping service that knows their business.

I love GOMOW. This is our second year to use them, they are affordable and very accommodating to fit me in their schedule when I need additional services or an extra mow that is not part of my regular schedule. They are prompt to answer my questions and retuning phone calls, and always follow-up to see how they did with the "extras"

Amanda Fallis

Great work at a great price. They're so nice and get the job done so quickly. They're very open to make sure to let me know if they're going to be late or have to reschedule, but that's extremely rare. Love these guys!

Lorraine Kraft

Monday was the first time we used GOMOW lawn care. It was a very pleasant experience. I am still kind of stunned about how fast they cut, edged and mowed our lawn and did an excellent of it.

John R. McMaude

I have used GOMOW for about a year and I am thrilled with the service provided at the price quoted. If there is a challenge, the staff at GOMOW fixes it quickly and follows up to make sure everything was taken care of to my satisfaction. Price and service second to none.

Jennifer Leal

This was my first lawn mowing service from GOMOW. The price is very reasonable, and they did a good job. And they were quick! About 15- 20 minutes to do front, back, trimming and clean up.

Kevin Knebel

The crew was great. They were very reliable and went the extra mile to clean the yard

Shannon Kay

I LOVE GOMOW! They are so fast and efficient and the best pricing around! They do a great job with edging our sidewalk, weed eating our fence, and keeping our HOA happy! They are also fantastic at communicating if something comes up! Best mowing service around! Thank you!!! A++++++

Luke Edmonson

Been using GOMOW for 6 years now and they consistently do little things that are more than I expect for a basic mowing service. Instead of blowing our magnolia leaves in a pile and and leave them for me, they'll bag them. When the crews are around, they are kind to our small kids considerate of the fact that we are loading them up for school some mornings. On the rare occasions I've had to contact them, Donna's helpful on the phone and while some may not like the e-mail notifications when there is a weather delay, it's very convenient for me when I'm at work. Personally, I've never had a problem receiving their e-mails, most likely because they are added to my address book. They do a good job of leaving our gate closed when they leave and the mowing, edging and blowing is consistently solid. One last thing that I've observed is that the crews don' t blow the clippings out into the street and blow them back in the yard. I appreciate that, as it's the neighborly thing to do!

Ernest Johns

From the first phone call to the team that comes out the GOMOW group have been great. Everyone has been professional and courteous.

Justin Weeks

They are always on time, quick, clean and affordable. Also they respond fast to any issues, very nice office staff.

Harper McDonald

I've used GOMOW for about two years now and haven't had any issues with service or quality. The trades are always on time and do great work. I've really enjoyed working with Paul Patterson, he is very responsive to emails and his customer service is top notch. In addition, the prices are very reasonable and GOMOW provides flexible mowing options.

Judith M. Cairo

So I was told I would authorize the service they performed it. I was told it would be $45 and then they did the service and after it was down told me it would be $110. I get the call after the service was preformed and when I had a problem with being informed after the fact, especially after I was reassured that I would approve overages, I was told not to treat them as animals. It’s unacceptable behavior I was informed the CSRs don’t have a supervisor. I understand why they have this type of customer service. I would never use this company!!

R Cooper

These guys are awesome! Efficient, fast

Susan Willett

Although neither my husband nor myself enjoy yard work my husband does like mowing... I guess it's the immediate gratification you get at how pretty it looks right afterwards, so when my husband sprained his ankle he thought he would be back out mowing in three weeks tops.
Well, turns out his sprain was a break so he is unable to take care of the yard-and at this point we're not sure for how long.
Before we knew it the lawn was out of control. There were parts of it in the backyard that were five or 6 inches long. GOMOW was recommended in one of our neighborhood blogs so I decided to take a look at their website. It was very easy to navigate and request a quote. I got a call back the very next day and was able to get details about how their service works and what the cost is. It turns out they come out to where we live on Fridays---- And they offered to come out that very Friday to mow. They offer either one time service at one rate (which seemed very reasonable in comparison to other lawn services ) or anything more than a total of 2 mows regardless of weekly or biweekly is offered at a discounted rate.
There are no contracts to sign and no obligation and the gentleman I spoke to also assured me that if I was not happy with their service, I was to call and let them know and they would take care of it immediately.
You can order their service to be done either weekly or biweekly. We chose weekly since this is spring and we seem to be getting quite a few rain showers.
I was scheduled and our yard-front and back!-would be mowed, edged and weed eating completed between 8-5.
(I'm hoping as the company grows they can give a little better idea of timing since we have dogs and would not want them out in the yard.)
When Friday arrived, as I was having coffee I heard some weed eaters running and sure enough GOMOW was here and had started our lawn as promised. They did a fantastic job. The lawn looked so nice afterwards!
I could definitely see that the areas needing weed eating were taken care of and the lawn was edged which my husband only did once in a blue moon. Just makes everything look so defined and clean. We were both completely satisfied with the service we received and we are looking forward to next Friday.
The price is so reasonable that even when my husband's out of his cast and back on his feet we may still choose to continue their services!
Thanks for the great customer service-looking forward to a continued relationship!

I did business with GOMOW for a couple of seasons and the crews did an OK job. I have pretty simple landscaping. My first issue happened when I tried to plant some things in my backyard to improve my landscaping and their crews mowed it all down twice, even after I posted signs to not mow/weed there. They actually were very gracious when I called to complain and gave me my money back for the plants that had been destroyed. OK. Fast forward to this spring. My yard was overgrown and needed a mow badly. They said OK we need to charge you more because your grass is tall. Fine. I come home from work to find that they'd hadn't mowed so much as bent everything down and left all the overgrowth basically bent/thatched over on top. I wish I could add the pictures because its hard to explain, but I basically spent hours raking up this thatched top layer of deadness they left behind so that what was left of my lawn didn't die and I spent more money to buy seed to reseed my lawn where there were dead patches because they'd left all the old dead stuff on top. So I called them expecting that this would be like the last time and instead of doing the right thing and at least giving me some money back they insisted that their crew was blameless and pressed for payment - we went back and forth for a bit and I eventually thought the matter was settled but fast forward to now they have a collections agency calling me. Just beware that the crews they send out don't really care about your property and if my experience is any gauge, half the time they won't take any responsibility for damage done.

GOMOW consistently does an excellent job. My yard has never looked better!

Alyssa DeBernardo

This company is beyond unprofessional. I’ve had problem after problem with them! First off I had a lock on my back gate, I supplied the company with the combination so their team could get back there when they came but time after time the back would not be mowed. Finally I found out that whoever was coming did not know how to open a combination lock, so just chose now to mow the whole yard. But the final straw for me was when They destroyed my summer waves above ground frame pool. I was putting it up for the season and hadn’t filled it with water yet. They came for their biweekly lawn service and it looked like they got it caught up in one of their machines. Big tears and gashes all around the whole pool liner. It had to totally be replaced at over $400. I called the company to complain and to ask to cancel my service, I also let them know that I wouldn’t be paying for the service because they destroyed my property. They said okay and cancelled my account. Now over a year later I’m being harassed by collection agencies over that service. Don’t do business with this company unless you want inconsistency on your lawn and terrible customer service. Their online platform is really the only plus side.

Peter P

Mowing customer since 2017. This spring I added shrub service to mulch the beds. The guys required little direction from me. They were fast! Cleanup was complete. I want this crew next time.

We have been using GOMOW.com services for 2 months now. I'm really impressed! The customer service has been the best part. They set expectations well and clearly communicate what they can do and what they can't do. They also have a great website that allows you to change your account information, request specific services, and verify your next appointment. Likewise, the actual lawn care has been top notch. It's great knowing that you are going to come home to a freshly mowed and trimmed lawn with no drama.

Maurice M.

GOMOW.com has been my lawn service for several years. They are dependable and take care of my yard even the certain items that I have requested with a very nice business like attitude. I would certainly recommend their services.

Jori P.

I have been using GOMOW.com for a couple of years and their service is great! I love coming home on the day my yard has been mowed. Their service makes it easy, no worries about leaving a check for someone. Love it. I even use their bed crew to clean out my flower beds and remove leaves, etc.… once a year. Easy, reliable and dependable. Give them a try!

Lyndsey P.

I use GOMOW.com twice a month and love the ease of the service!!! They do a great job consistently and I highly recommend them!!!
