On the Gulf Coast, hurricane season officially starts June 1 and runs to the end of November. Here is how to get your yard ready.
Turn off your sprinklers
Not every irrigation system has a rain sensor. The soil stays saturated after a storm, so only start watering again once the lawn is mostly dry.
Check your yard's drainage
Clear leaves and trash from drains and grates, and check them often as a storm approaches.
Prune your trees
Remove weak branches before high winds arrive.
Clean up your yard
Bring in furniture, toys, pool items, decor and tools.
Put your safety first
Bad weather can arrive before the storm itself. Your lawn can be repaired in the spring.
Restore your lawn with sod
When it's time to repair, we have St. Augustine, Bermuda, Zoysia and Centipede sod.
