How the Johnsons Fell in Love with Winter Lawn Care

When you think of January in Austin, you might imagine brisk mornings, the aroma of hot cocoa, and neighbors still struggling to unstring holiday lights. But for the Johnson family, January is the month Love with winter lawn care when their lawn becomes the unsung hero of backyard gatherings.

Meet the Johnsons

Tom and Lisa Johnson moved to Austin two years ago with their dog Max and their two kids, Emma and Jake. They were ecstatic about their new home in Steiner Ranch, complete with a spacious backyard perfect for family fun. But last winter, their dream lawn turned into a patchy, weed-filled nightmare. “We thought winter meant we could ignore the yard,” Lisa admitted with a laugh. “Big mistake.”

The Turning Point

A candid conversation with their neighbor—whose lawn looked impeccable—led Lisa to discover Steiner Lawn Care. “He said, ‘If you want a spring-ready lawn, you’ve got to care for it in winter.’ That’s when we realized we needed help.” Lisa booked a free quote online (a surprisingly easy process) and within days, Steiner Lawn Care’s expert team arrived. They provided a winter-specific maintenance plan tailored to Austin’s unique climate.

Winter Lawn Wisdom

Here’s what the Johnsons learned from Steiner Lawn Care:

  1. Weeds Wait for No One – Winter weeds might seem harmless, but they’re sneaky invaders. Regular weed control is crucial to keep them at bay.
  2. A Trimmed Lawn is a Happy Lawn – Mowing isn’t just a summer activity. Keeping grass at the right height during winter prevents disease and encourages healthy growth.
  3. Nourish to Flourish – Late-season fertilization gives roots the nutrients they need to withstand cold snaps and bounce back stronger in spring.

A Lawn Worth Gathering Around

By mid-January, the Johnsons’ backyard had become a source of pride and joy. “We had friends over for a barbecue, and they couldn’t stop complimenting the lawn,” Tom shared. Even Max seemed happier, bounding across the yard without muddy paws.
Lisa’s favorite moment? Seeing Jake and Emma building a snowless “snowman” out of yard debris during a rare chilly day. “Our lawn isn’t just grass; it’s part of our family memories,” she said.
