Lawn Care, Sod & Pest Control in Live Oak, TX

Live Oak packs a lot of neighborhoods into under five square miles, and many of the lawns there are 20 to 40 years old. Older lawns often carry years of compaction, thatch and shade from mature trees. True Roots helps bring them back.

We offer seasonal weed control and fertilization, core aeration and dethatching, top dressing, lawn leveling, premium sod installation, and fire ant, mosquito and lawn insect control.

Lawn care, sod & pest control services in Live Oak

Live Oak soil, grass & lawn challenges

Much of Live Oak sits on clay-based soil that compacts under years of foot traffic and mowing. Established St. Augustine lawns also build up thatch over time, which blocks water and fertilizer from reaching the roots.

A yearly core aeration, followed by compost top dressing, is often the most cost-effective way to revive an older Live Oak lawn. If more than about half the lawn is gone, new sod is usually the better value.

Watering rules in Live Oak

The City of Live Oak runs its own water utility and lists its drought stages and restrictions on the City of Live Oak Water page. Stages in this area generally follow Edwards Aquifer levels, so check the current stage before changing your watering days.

FAQ

Questions, answered

My St. Augustine lawn is thinning under trees. What can I do?

Shade, compaction and thatch are the usual causes. Aeration, top dressing and lighter, well-timed feeding help. In deep shade, Zoysia or reducing lawn area may be the better long-term answer.
