Lubbockscape provides lawn treatment in Lubbock, TX 79424 that stops weeds before they sprout, feeds grass while it's actively growing, and fixes the yellow color caused by alkaline soil. Every application is made by a Texas Department of Agriculture licensed applicator using products and rates suited to Bermuda, zoysia and buffalograss.
Knowing which weed you have decides which product works. These are the weeds we treat most often in Lubbock.
| Weed | Type | When It Shows Up | How We Control It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandbur (grassbur) | Summer annual grass | Late spring to fall | Spring pre-emergent plus a thicker lawn |
| Puncturevine (goathead) | Summer annual broadleaf | Summer | Pre-emergent and spot treatment before seeds form |
| Crabgrass | Summer annual grass | Late spring to summer | Pre-emergent before germination |
| Spurge | Summer annual broadleaf | Summer, thin areas | Pre-emergent and post-emergent spot spray |
| Field bindweed | Perennial vine | Spring to fall | Repeated selective treatments; hard to eliminate in one round |
| Nutsedge | Perennial sedge | Wet or overwatered areas | Sedge-specific herbicide plus irrigation correction |
| Henbit | Winter annual | Late winter to early spring | Fall pre-emergent |
| Dandelion | Perennial broadleaf | Spring and fall | Selective broadleaf treatment |
Timing is everything in Lubbock. Our program follows Texas A&M AgriLife Extension guidance and South Plains weather.
| Round | Timing | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Late February–mid-March | Pre-emergent for crabgrass and sandbur; broadleaf spot spray |
| 2 | Late April–May | Fertilizer once lawn is actively growing; second pre-emergent split; weed spot spray |
| 3 | June | Light fertilizer and iron as needed; nutsedge and spurge control |
| 4 | July–August | Iron and micronutrients; grub monitoring; spot treat weeds |
| 5 | Mid-August–mid-September | Final fertilizer; fall pre-emergent for winter weeds |
| 6 | November–January | Dormant broadleaf weed control where needed |
For Bermudagrass, AgriLife recommends 0.5 to 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per application, only while the grass is actively growing. Buffalograss needs far less, often one or two light feedings a year.
Yellow grass in Lubbock is often not a nitrogen problem. Local soils are alkaline, and high pH makes iron unavailable to plants even when the soil contains it — a condition called iron chlorosis: yellow blades, or yellow leaves with green veins on shrubs and trees.
We treat chlorosis with chelated iron and micronutrients that stay available at high pH. For stubborn cases, we recommend a soil test so you aren't paying for products the lawn can't use.
The best weed control in Lubbock is a thick lawn that shades the soil. Herbicide alone can't fix bare spots. That's why we also check:
Every application is made by a TDA-licensed applicator.
Products are applied at label rates — never more, never less.
Granular applications watered in on your assigned watering day where required.
Flags or notices left after every liquid application, with pets and kids kept off treated areas until dry per the product label.
Weed pressure changes across Lubbock ZIP codes. Newer lots in 79424, 79423 and Wolfforth can border undeveloped land where sandbur and goathead seed blow in, while established central ZIPs like 79410 and 79413 see more shade-thinned turf and nutsedge in overwatered spots.
