Experts say lawn recovery possible

Special to the Bulletin

Recent winter storms and hard freezes have left many Bandera lawns and landscapes showing signs of stress, but experts say homeowners should resist the urge to act too quickly when addressing cold damage.

According to turf and plant specialists, frost- and freeze-damaged lawns and plants can often recover with time and proper care, though timing is critical. Pruning or fertilizing too early can worsen damage, while delaying certain tasks too long may invite disease and slow recovery.
