POST FREEZE UPDATE!
Within the next few weeks, the Bermuda should start popping up as average nightly low temperatures are getting near the 50's!
With that being said, this is when we'll know (me included) if our lawns made it through the freeze. This was the hardest and longest freezing weather event in North Texas in almost 30 years, and I can assure you there will be lawn damage as there is no common turf grass in the area that can handle that kind of weather. With that being said, I do hope not only for my customers sake, but for my own as well, it will be patchy but nobody will know until we can get nightly low temperatures above 50 degrees for 5+ days (very soon it looks like though). We'll be able to see then.
Last year, the typical delivery time for Bermuda and St. Augustine Grass was 1.5-2 weeks for sod at a reasonable price. As always, I will find the best price and options for you and we will, together, formulate a plan on getting your lawn back into tip top shape. Just as plumbing supplies got very scarce after the freeze I can 100% guarantee sod will be extremely scarce once all of us can see the damage caused. I do not have a time yet, but I can tell you that with this being a state wide event, it may take longer than 2 weeks. To compound that, most of the sod farms for Texas turf grass are in Texas, so I imagine they lost part of their "crop" as well.
I am keeping an eye out, but so far nobody is being forthcoming as to what stocks are like nor what the price per sq. ft. will be, but I am checking daily so I will update everyone as soon as I know. Please, if you need lawn damage repaired and want to go the sod option, contact me ASAP! Stocks will go very fast!
You have another option too...
As we did with many lawns last year, with time (average 4-6 weeks) we can get your grass that survived moving into the bare areas that didn't make it through the disastrous freeze. I used this method on almost every lawn with heat damage with a success rate of 100% so this may actually be more cost effective for you if sod delivery time gets outrageous, or if you don't mind letting your grass recover the natural way. We have ways to speed the process up! :)
As always, I am excited to work with everyone this year and can't wait to get back in gear! This is not just my business and a way to make a living for me, I really and truly want you to love your lawn, and nothing makes me happier than a beautiful landscape!
I am excited and we'll work together to get your lawn in tip top shape, and will update everyone as soon as I get more information.
