Warm-season grasses thrive in warm weather, while cool-season grasses thrive in cool weather. 

Warm-season grasses are typically the best fit for Oklahoma’s mostly warm climate.

However, you may have picked cool-season grass if you have a shaded lawn. In that case, cool-season grasses may grow on your lawn better. Nevertheless, take note that you’ll need to water your cool-season grasses more often during the summer to keep them healthy.

Oklahoma lawn care tips

When to mow

The best time to mow is before 10 a.m. before the harsh sunlight hits. Usually, you need to grow once a week. However, you need to mow more often when your grasses are growing most quickly. Don’t cut your grass too short to keep it healthy and strong.

When to water

The best time to water is between 8 and 10 a.m. Watering later may cause your water to evaporate before it reaches the roots. Most lawns need around an inch of water per week, but may need more; always look out for signs of dehydration.

How to aerate

Soil may become compacted over time. In a lawn with compacted soil, nutrients, air, and water don’t reach roots effectively. This is when you need to aerate. Aeration essentially includes making holes in the soil. Aerating one to two times a year is best for Oklahoma lawns.

Common Oklahoma Lawn Pests
