South Texas Turf Workshop

Growing healthy turf in South Texas can be hard!  Heat, sun and drought are brutal to the grass.  Texas A&M AgriLife Extension is hosting a South Texas Turf Workshop, covering all things turf.

Learn what varieties grow best here, why we recommend mowing only 1/3, how different styles of watering affect the turf and roots, pest and disease management, weed management and much more!
