Bermuda Lawn Program

Bermuda lawns in Fort Worth need precision, not guesswork. Aaron Shehan’s Bermuda Program combines timing, chemistry, and soil science to push the deepest color, tightest density, and strongest roots in North Texas clay soils. Every round is tuned to fight Rescuegrass, annual bluegrass, and henbit, while building the kind of lawn that turns heads all year.

Bermuda Treatment Schedule

  • Round 1 – Specticle Pre-Emergent: Prevents crabgrass, goosegrass, annual bluegrass, and Rescuegrass before they sprout. Kicks off the season with a clean, weed-free foundation.
  • Round 2 – Specticle + AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak: Dual-purpose application: long-term weed barrier from Specticle plus fast-acting green-up from ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate. Immediate response in color, strength, and uniformity.
  • Round 3 – 25-3-6 with MicroPak & Humic Acid: Our proprietary fertilizer blend designed for Fort Worth’s high-pH soils. Rich in balanced nitrogen and potassium, fortified with North Texas MicroPak and humic acid to super-charge nutrient uptake and deepen green color.
  • Round 4 – 25-3-6 with MicroPak & Humic Acid: Drives lateral growth, thickens turf, and improves drought tolerance. Builds density you can literally feel underfoot.
  • Round 5 – 25-3-6 with MicroPak & Humic Acid: Sustains color and vigor through extreme summer heat and watering restrictions. Keeps your Bermuda uniform when neighbors’ lawns fade.
  • Round 6 – 25-3-6 with MicroPak & Humic Acid + Phosphorus Boost: Adds phosphorus to strengthen roots and accelerate post-heat recovery. This round fuels strength heading into late-summer stress.
  • Round 7 – Specticle + AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak: Pre-emergent protection targeting annual bluegrass, Rescuegrass, and henbit while maintaining rich color and vigor. Keeps your Bermuda clean and thriving as temperatures cool.
  • Round 8 – Elemental Sulfur Soil Correction: Gently lowers pH and enhances nutrient availability in alkaline Fort Worth soils. Supports healthier soil biology year-round.
  • Round 9 – Specticle Pre-Emergent + Spot Treatment: Final seasonal barrier against winter annual weeds like Rescuegrass and bluegrass. Includes targeted spot-treatments for any breakthrough weeds, ensuring your lawn enters dormancy perfectly clean.

Zoysia Lawn Program

Zoysia is luxury turf — and in Fort Worth, it takes precision to keep it that way. Thin-bladed varieties like Emerald and Trinity deliver a fine, manicured finish, while wide-bladed types like Palisades and JaMur offer lush, durable texture. Aaron Shehan’s Zoysia Program is engineered specifically for North Texas clay soils, high pH, and intense summer heat, combining agronomic precision with real-world results.

Zoysia Treatment Schedule

  • Round 1 – Specticle Pre-Emergent: Prevents crabgrass, goosegrass, annual bluegrass, and Rescuegrass before germination. A clean, healthy start for early-season growth.
  • Round 2 – Specticle + AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak: Dual-purpose round combining Specticle for long-lasting weed suppression with ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate for strong color and early density.
  • Round 3 – 12-3-6 Proprietary Blend (AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Humic Acid): Our signature blend designed for Fort Worth’s alkaline soils. Provides steady, even feeding and improved nutrient uptake through humic acid and North Texas MicroPak micronutrients.
  • Round 4 – 12-3-6 Proprietary Blend (AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Humic Acid): Promotes thick, even turf and deeper rooting. Keeps both thin- and wide-bladed Zoysia thriving through early summer stress.
  • Round 5 – 12-3-6 Proprietary Blend (AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Humic Acid): Mid-season nutrition for color, density, and stress recovery. Supports stolon growth, drought tolerance, and long-lasting turf health.
  • Round 6 – 12-3-6 Proprietary Blend (AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Humic Acid): Late-summer feeding that maintains turf density, color consistency, and overall lawn performance through August heat.
  • Round 7 – Specticle + Fungicide + AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak: Prevents brown patch and suppresses annual bluegrass, henbit, and Rescuegrass as temperatures cool. Protects both fine and wide-bladed varieties from disease and keeps your Zoysia clean and strong into fall.
  • Round 8 – Elemental Sulfur Soil Correction: Reduces soil pH in Fort Worth’s clay soils to improve nutrient availability and microbial activity. Enhances long-term color response and root performance.
  • Round 9 – Specticle Pre-Emergent + Spot Treatment: Final pre-emergent barrier for winter weeds and targeted spot control for any late-season intruders. Keeps your Zoysia spotless through dormancy.
New Customer Start-Up Policy
New Zoysia customers are started on the program their lawn needs based on the time of year and turf condition.
  • In the spring, new customers receive extra post-emergent weed control as needed for any existing broadleaf or grassy weeds.
  • Newly sodded or recently installed Zoysia lawns receive our Proprietary Rescue Blend, packed with phosphorus for rapid root development, ammonium sulfate for color, humic acid for soil activation, and sulfate of potash for stress resistance.
Our technicians are trained to recognize the difference — ensuring every lawn receives the right treatment from the very first visit.

Aaron’s Watering Tip for Zoysia

  • Thin-bladed Zoysia (Emerald, Trinity) has shorter roots and benefits from more frequent watering during the hottest months. From July through September, run a late-afternoon cool-down cycle to reduce heat stress and prevent localized dry spots.
  • Wide-bladed types (Palisades, JaMur) can handle slightly deeper watering but still benefit from consistent moisture and occasional cool-down cycles.

St. Augustine Lawn Program

St. Augustine is Fort Worth’s most beautiful and most sensitive turfgrass. It thrives under the right balance of moisture, nutrients, and protection—but in North Texas clay soils and high humidity, it’s prone to brown patch, gray leaf spot, and take-all root rot. That’s why Aaron Shehan’s St. Augustine Program is engineered for Fort Worth conditions, using gentle, targeted products that protect rather than stress your lawn.

St. Augustine Treatment Schedule

  • Round 1 – Specticle Pre-Emergent: Prevents crabgrass, goosegrass, annual bluegrass, and Rescuegrass before they sprout. Sets the foundation for a clean, healthy spring green-up.
  • Round 2 – AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Fungicide: Feeds early growth while safeguarding against gray leaf spot, brown patch, and take-all root rot. Ammonium sulfate jump-starts color; potassium sulfate builds stress tolerance, and the fungicide holds disease pressure in check.
  • Round 3 – AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Fungicide: A fortified feeding that builds density while actively defending against Fort Worth’s three most common turf diseases. Keeps your St. Augustine clean, uniform, and vibrant through late spring humidity.
  • Round 4 – 12-3-6 with North Texas MicroPak & Humic Acid: Custom-balanced fertilizer that fuels steady growth without surge. Humic acid improves soil structure and nutrient efficiency, while North Texas MicroPak delivers the trace elements our local soils lack.
  • Round 5 – 12-3-6 with North Texas MicroPak & Humic Acid: Maintains color, density, and root strength through summer stress. Encourages stolon growth and supports drought tolerance when water is limited.
  • Round 6 – AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Fungicide: A preventative shield against brown patch heading into fall humidity. Feeds deeply, restores vigor, and preserves that rich St. Augustine color.
  • Round 7 – Specticle Pre-Emergent + Avenue South Broadleaf Control + AMS + Sulfate of Potash + North Texas MicroPak + Fungicide: Our most advanced round of the year. Controls annual bluegrass, Rescuegrass, and henbit, while preventing brown patch, take-all root rot, and gray leaf spot. Delivers a uniform, spotless lawn through Fort Worth’s unpredictable fall season.
  • Round 8 – Elemental Sulfur Soil Correction: Reduces alkalinity and improves nutrient availability in high-pH North Texas soils. Prepares the root zone for dormancy and stronger spring recovery.

I have used Gro Lawn for years and my lawn always looks great. I love taking the guesswork out of what product to apply at what time of year.
