AUSTIN (KXAN) — Wildfire issues have been consistent and frequent through March and with the lack of rainfall the grass can be tinder for the perfect fuel for fires to spread. Bo Jenkins with ABC Home and Commercial Services said the end of March usually signals when our grass will start to com e out of dormancy and become a bit more green. "A lot of that is temperature-driven," Jenkins said. "The biggest thing we notice is it's all about the nighttime temperature—that takes us into the growing season." Jenkins said temperatures during the day need to reach the mid to upper 70s while temperatures at night need to be above 55 degrees to trigger the growing season for grass. St. Augustine grass and Bermuda grass are the two most common grass types in Central Texas, with Zoysia grass growing in popularity over the past few years. While it may seem like some yards may green up a bit quicker than others based on the type of grass we have, our best bet to help is a proper watering cycle. "We need a lot of help from Mother Nature," Jenkins said. "These dry conditions do affect our yards. Be sure to use that cycle soak so that it waters, let's it soak deep down into the roots, and goes again for another cycle." ...read more read less
