How The Herrera Landscaping Services Program Works
We start with a comprehensive analysis of your lawn and soil to pinpoint deficiencies and create a specialized plan to improve fertility and create a custom and sustainable landscape of native plants and hearty turf that looks beautiful and reflects your home’s unique architecture.
Phase One
January / February / March
The first phase begins in winter/early spring, with an initial granular nutrition package application. The package quick-starts dormant grass and supports the growth of beneficial microorganisms, including the trace mineral fertilization necessary to mitigate deficiencies found through your Herrera Landscaping Services soil analysis. We will monitor these deficiencies to ensure they’re improving through the year. This phase also includes care to maintain and protect temperature-sensitive plants.
Phase Two
April / May / June
In the spring and early summer, we begin the second phase. We will add bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms to your lawn’s granular nutrient packages. Routine watering will then activate the new soil biology to initiate the spontaneous growth of helpful microorganisms. The beneficial bacteria will form a symbiotic relationship with the root zone of your trees and shrubs, which boosts the exchange of nutrients to sustain years of healthy growth! The improvements will be immediate in your lawn and incremental in your current trees and shrubs.
Phase Three
July / August / September
These are the hottest months in Central Texas, which is why our granular applications will include humates and humate acid to improve the retention of water and essential nutrients. There will also be a slow-release of macro nutrients to sustain your lawn throughout the brutal summer heat. Once this microbiology is established, water assimilation and retention will improve, and the boost in soil health will lead to sustained growth of turf grass. You will need to mow more and we recommend only mowing in the upper one-third of the grass, leading to an ideal profile height of three inches.
Phase Four
October / November / December
The cooling temperatures will offer optimal growing conditions for soil biology. The temperature-sensitive turf grass will become dormant, but the microbiology will continue to proliferate in soil temperatures of 50-degrees Fahrenheit and above. The wintering process will include granular nutrient packages to treat sub-soil microorganisms, reducing pathogens and disease. We will also provide saprophytic bacteria and fungi to facilitate the decomposition of residual surface organic matter.
