Rescuegrass
Dormant Bermuda and St. Augustine lawns in winter.
Quick answerMagic Pest & Lawn treats rescuegrass in Austin lawns through its lawn program: pre-emergent, post-emergent, and fertilizer in about 3 visits a year, with visits starting at $90. No contract. Call or text 512-203-0525.
How to recognize it
Light-green, fast-growing clumps in winter and spring, with drooping, flat seed heads.
Why it shows up
It sprouts in fall and grows while warm-season grass is dormant, which makes it stand out.
How we treat it
Fall pre-emergent prevents it. A post-emergent treatment during winter and spring handles plants that are already up.
What you can do
- Don't skip the fall treatment in late September or October
