Hello Houston
Not only has 2015 been a wet year but NOAA is predicting a cold and wet winter in Spring of 2016
What does this potentially mean for your Houston area lawn?
Many Houston lawns suffered in the hotter months of 2015 due to not only the excessive wetness but the Brown Patch and Take all patch that thrived from September all the way til November in the hot humid conditions.
What to do?
Prior to treating its always best to have a soil sample taken to figure out what is really going on
First - several organic solutions are available between corn meal and neem oil or non-organic applications
Next - the areas of your lawn that are significantly lower that collect and hold water should be top dressed so the lawn has better grading / drainage. Now that the lawns are going dormant - its a great time to do this kind of adjustments
Third - some additional cultural practices - like watering at night or using non-organic fertilizers should be addressed prior to the coming spring season.
Fourth - scalping or mowing the lawn very low should be avoided
