Aeration built for Alamo Heights lawns
Updated June 27, 2026
Alamo Heights is one of San Antonio's oldest enclaves, with established lots shaded by big live oaks and a lot of lush St. Augustine over thin, limy soil on the edge of the Balcones Escarpment. That combination of heavy shade and thin soil over limestone is exactly what makes brown patch and thinning turf so common here.
Lawn aeration gives your soil the right levels of air, permitting nutrients and water to reach the roots faster and more completely. We use a high-grade mechanical aerator with hollow tines to remove soil cores without compressing your lawn.
In Alamo Heights proper or just outside it in Bexar County, our experienced team knows the soils and grass types this part of South Texas works with. We treat your lawn at the correct intervals through every season.

Lawn problems Alamo Heights yards run into
These are the issues we watch for on aeration visits around Alamo Heights and Greater San Antonio.
The Alamo Heights lawn-care year, month by month
In Alamo Heights the balancing act is beating chinch bugs in the sunny street-facing lawns through the long, dry summer while managing brown patch in the older yards that sit under heavy live-oak shade near Olmos Creek and the San Antonio River headwaters. Here's what a prescription program focuses on through the seasons here.
Jan to Feb
Dormant turf, soil prep
Warm-season grass is brown and resting. It's the quiet window to test soil, plan the year, and watch for hard freezes that can damage crowns on the I-35 clay.
Late Feb to Mar
Spring pre-emergent
The most time-sensitive job of the year. Pre-emergent has to go down before soil temperatures climb into the mid-60s, or crabgrass and goosegrass are already germinating.
Apr to May
Green-up & first feeding
St. Augustine and Bermuda break dormancy and start growing. First balanced fertilization and broadleaf weed touch-ups set the tone for the season.
Jun to Aug
Heat, watering, chinch bugs
Peak heat. Deep, infrequent watering beats the drought stress, and this is prime chinch-bug season in sunny St. Augustine. Early treatment stops the spread before it browns out a yard.
Jul to Sep
Grubs & brown patch watch
White grubs feed on roots underground while brown patch and gray leaf spot move through stressed, humid turf. We scout and spot-treat trouble before it opens up bare areas.
Sep to Oct
Fall pre-emergent & aeration
A fall pre-emergent blocks winter weeds like Poa annua and henbit, and cooler soil is the right time for core aeration on compacted clay.
Oct to Nov
Last feeding before dormancy
A final, lower-nitrogen feeding helps the lawn store energy and root reserves so it comes back stronger after winter.
Dec
Dormant & freeze watch
Growth stops and the lawn goes dormant. We keep an eye on hard-freeze events and hold off on anything that pushes tender new growth.
Exact timing shifts a little each year with the weather, which is why we treat your Alamo Heights lawn on a schedule we adjust to the season rather than a fixed date on a calendar.
