First Response Lawn Care offers pre-emergent and post-emergent lawn care. If you aren’t familiar with the importance of herbicides, below is a simplified explanation.
Pre-Emergent Herbicides
Pre-emergent type herbicides should be applied when the ground temperatures start rising. Pre-emergents start working before weed seeds germinate and start to grow. Pre-emergents create a seal around the seeds to prevent germination. Essentially, this will suffocate the seeds.
Pre-emergent weedkillers come in either liquid or granular form. Water is required to activate herbicide in granular forms so rain or watering will be needed with this method.
Crabgrass, thistle and other annual weeds that annually sprout from new seeds are treated best through pre-emergent types of weed killers but have little effect on perennial weeds because of their roots.
Post-Emergent Herbicides
Perennial weeds such as Dandelions and White Clover require post-emergent herbicides to combat them effectively. Post-emergent herbicides can be applied in spring once plants have started to grow. Post-emergent weed killers kill weeds after they have started to grow. Direct application to unwanted plants is best for Post-Emergents.
Post-Emergent liquids, spray directly to the weeds to be effective. Granular form work well but, require water to activate the same as Pre-emergents do.

Winterizing your irrigation system is a simple and fast process
Winterizing is important for maintaining a properly running lawn sprinkler system. Texas weather plays a big part in winter damage, but there are some simple things you can do to make getting through the cold seasons much easier. Even if it only freezes for an hour or two at a time when it does, then the first two steps should be enough to keep you safe from freezing temperatures.
Turn off the water main to the irrigation system
Set your irrigation controller to the “rain” or “off” setting.
Turn on each valve manually to release pressure in the pipes.
Drain water out of irrigation components that might freeze. (This is usually done at the lowest elevation point of the system)
Keep in mind that above ground piping and components will need additional care such as insulating the parts of the system that are exposing to freezing or heat trace tape designed to keep the pipes warm during freeze/thaw cycles.

First Response Lawn Care offers yard cleanup services throughout the year to meet all of your seasonal needs. Our cleanup services include pruning, mulching, weed control, feeding, leaf blowing, and debris removal. Unsightly broken branches, overgrown shrubbery, and weed patches are a thing of the past.
When the landscape is in full bloom during summer, that’s when we find the most areas in need of tender care. First Response Lawn Care will check your trees for dead hanging limbs that you might need to cut away. Thunderstorms are frequent during the Texas summer and tree limbs can do a great deal of damage. We would prune any plants that might interfere with your AC condenser and trim bushes that might be too close to the house. We will trim any bushes so they don’t trap moisture and invite termites. Keeping bushes trimmed can also eliminate potential hiding places for burglars or other unwanted visitors.
Vines come from the ground and grow on the house. Creepy crawlies come from the ground, too, and they can use those vines to get into your house. Vines also trap moisture against the house and they can eat away the mortar in between your bricks, jeopardizing the stability of your exterior walls. So, while vines might be pretty, they are not good for your house and you should trim them back regularly.
