If your San Antonion lawn receives enough sun and you want lawn grass, you have options. Here's what you should know about four varieties.
If your lawn receives enough sun to support lawn grass, a minimum of 4 inches of soil is required, though 6 inches of soil is best., such as Asiatic jasmine, dwarf Mexican petunia, monkey grass and liriope, if you have shade and want to reduce your water use.
Buffalograss requires even more, and even with full sun of 10 hours or more it does make a good lawn grass choice in the San Antonio area.There are several choices with the zinnias in your flower garden. They can be used for cut flowers. If they are allowed to decline on the stem, the pollinators will use them for nectar until they brown. Then the seeds that are not eaten by the seed eating birds will germinate to produce new plants.
Flagstone makes an excellent bed to make paths between flower beds and groundcovers. The pieces of stone compete for space with weeds and allow water to enter the soil while slowing the escape of the water just like a mulch. Buffalograss can be planted with sod or seed. Like bermudagrass seed, buffalograss seed needs to be planted after May 1 when the soil and air are warm enough to support its germination.Bermudagrass can also be planted with seed or sod. For best results by using seed, apply 2 inches of compost and 6 cups of slow-release lawn fertilizer such as 19-5-9 per 100 square feet to the area to be seeded and then till and rake the area to make a smooth surface to which to apply the seed.
