Keeping a lawn healthy in the Austin area isn’t as simple as applying fertilizer a few times each year. Central Texas presents some of the toughest growing conditions in the country, from high pH clay soils and prolonged summer heat to watering restrictions, unpredictable rainfall, and a wide variety of weeds, insects, and lawn diseases. A program that works in another part of the country often falls short here.
At Century Outdoor Services, we’ve built our lawn care program specifically for Central Texas. As a locally owned and operated company, we understand how Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine lawns respond to our unique climate because we work with them every day. Every treatment we perform is timed around local growing conditions, seasonal weed pressure, and the health needs of your lawn—not a generic national schedule.
Our comprehensive 9-Round Lawn Fertilization & Weed Control Program provides your lawn with the nutrients and protection it needs throughout the year. Each visit is carefully scheduled to deliver the right fertilizer, apply pre-emergent weed control before weeds germinate, eliminate existing weeds, and monitor for common Austin lawn problems such as grubs, chinch bugs, armyworms, brown patch, and take-all root rot.
Our goal isn’t simply to make your lawn look greener for a few weeks. We focus on building healthier turf that can better tolerate drought, heat, foot traffic, and the everyday challenges of living in Central Texas. By combining professional-grade products, proven agronomic practices, and ongoing monitoring throughout the year, we help homeowners enjoy thicker, healthier, and more resilient lawns season after season.
Whether you’re caring for a Bermuda lawn in Georgetown, a Zoysia lawn in Bee Cave, or a St. Augustine lawn in Austin, our team has the local knowledge and experience to help your lawn perform at its best.
“As the owner and Director of Agronomy, I’ve designed our 9-round program around the real challenges Central Texas lawns face—not a one-size-fits-all schedule. Every application has a purpose, and every visit is timed to give your lawn the best chance to thrive.”
— Kyle Caldwell, Owner & Director of Agronomy
Regular feeding with premium, golf-course-quality fertilizers to promote thick, vibrant grass. We use nutrient-rich blends (nitrogen, potassium, iron, and more) optimized for Texas soils to keep your turf green and resilient, even during tough weather.
Year-round control to banish stubborn weeds. Our program includes pre-emergent herbicide applications in spring and fall (for best results, experts recommend 3 pre-emergent treatments throughout the year) to stop weeds before they sprout, plus targeted post-emergent treatments for any broadleaf or grassy weeds that surface. The result is a lawn that’s virtually weed-free, without unsightly crabgrass, dandelions, or clover taking over. Even if you have a sensitive variety like an Emerald lawn, we can handle it.
An advanced alternative to traditional core aeration that uses liquid solutions to loosen compacted soil and improve root development. Liquid aeration opens up the soil to enhance water absorption and nutrient flow – all without the hassle of pulling plugs or damaging your lawn’s appearance. This leads to deeper roots, better drought tolerance, and a healthier lawn from the ground up.
Preventive and curative treatments to stop grub worms from destroying your lawn’s roots. We apply highly effective grub control at the optimal time of year to eliminate root-eating larvae (like June beetle grubs) before they wreak havoc on your grass. Our annual grub prevention program means you won’t have to worry about brown patches or torn-up turf due to these underground pests.
Rapid response control for armyworm infestations. Armyworms are known for chewing through lawns astonishingly fast – a severe outbreak can turn a green lawn brown in just a few days. If these hungry caterpillars invade, our team will act quickly with targeted treatments to stop them in their tracks and save your grass. We stay vigilant during peak armyworm season and include this protection in our program, so your lawn stays intact and healthy.
Expert identification and treatment of common lawn diseases that plague Texas lawns. Warm, humid conditions in our area can trigger fungi like brown patch, take-all patch, and leaf spot. Our lawn disease control service spots these issues early and applies specialized fungicides or remedies to contain the spread and help your grass recover. By controlling turf diseases promptly, we keep your lawn green and resilient against patchy blights or discoloration.
Deep-root fertilization and care for your ornamental trees and shrubs. In addition to lawns, we provide nutrient treatments for your landscape plants to keep them robust and pest-resistant. Regular fertilization of trees and shrubs promotes stronger growth, richer foliage, and helps prevent diseases and insect infestations in your landscape. Your whole yard will benefit from the extra attention and expertise, not just the grass underfoot.
We’ll apply our Moisture Manager product onto your lawn five times to counteract the development of hydrophobic soil conditions, ensuring optimal hydration for your turf. Our Moisture Manager service is particularly valuable in the summer when the heat can be harsh on your lawn, which is why it’s available from May to September. We guarantee that these treatments will significantly enhance your lawn’s capacity to absorb and retain moisture, promoting its health and vibrancy.
We attack the fire ant problem head-on with our granular fire ant control which we administer during each of our three visits to your property. We’ll blanket your lawn and landscape beds with our granular, long-lasting fire ant bait at each visit.
Choosing the right lawn care company is about more than finding someone to spray your yard. Your lawn is a long-term investment, and it deserves a team that understands the science behind healthy turf, communicates clearly, and stands behind every application.
At Century Outdoor Services, we’ve proudly served homeowners throughout the Austin area since 2013. As one of the area’s locally owned and family-operated lawn care companies, we’ve built our reputation by delivering consistent results, honest recommendations, and exceptional customer service—not by locking customers into long-term contracts or offering one-size-fits-all treatments.
Central Texas lawns face unique challenges that require local expertise. From high pH soils and extended summer drought to aggressive weeds, insects, and lawn diseases, every property is different. Our treatment schedule is designed specifically for the Austin climate and is continually adjusted based on seasonal conditions to keep your lawn healthy throughout the year.
Our lawn care program is overseen by our owner and Director of Agronomy, ensuring every application has a purpose. Rather than applying the same products year-round, we carefully select fertilizers, weed control products, insect treatments, and disease prevention strategies based on what your lawn actually needs during each season.
We believe communication is just as important as the products we apply. After every visit, you’ll receive detailed service information explaining what was completed, what we observed, and any recommendations to help your lawn continue improving between treatments. If something isn’t right, we’ll return to make it right as part of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
When you choose Century Outdoor Services, you’re partnering with a company that’s committed to helping your lawn thrive—not just for one season, but for years to come.
Our Sister Company TOPS Pest Control Will Offer You The Same Great Service
We provide 5-star lawn care and landscape bed maintenance services to customers across the Austin, TX area including the cities and communities of:
New clients can typically receive their first lawn treatment within 1–2 business days after signing up. Before scheduling your first application, we’ll ask about any recent treatments performed by another lawn care company or products you may have applied yourself. This helps us avoid applying products too close together and allows us to start your lawn on our 9-round fertilization and weed control program safely and correctly.
Once your initial service is completed, we’ll place your property on our regular treatment schedule so you know we’ll be back at the appropriate time throughout the year.
Our 9-round fertilization and weed control program starts around $66 per treatment for smaller lawns, with pricing based primarily on the amount of turf we treat. We use satellite measurements to accurately measure your lawn and provide a price based on your property’s actual turf square footage.
Century Outdoor Services may not always be the lowest-priced lawn care company—and that’s intentional. Our focus is on providing a higher level of service, including a consistent treatment schedule, knowledgeable technicians, oversight from our Director of Agronomy, programs designed specifically for Central Texas soil and turf, responsive customer service, and excellent communication before and after every visit.
We’re focused on doing the job correctly, showing up when we’re supposed to, communicating with you, and giving your lawn the attention it needs throughout the year.
I’ve been using Century Lawn and Landscaping service for 4 years. I started with their monthly mowing services and quickly added mulching, tree and shrub trimming and early this year I added hardscaping around the pool. It looks fabulous!! Jenna, Kyle, Jon and crew are professional, responsive, quality work at a reasonable cost.

Century does a great job, always on time and reliable. We also did the quarterly sprinkler check, they repaired our sprinklers that were dug up by puppies, set the timers and adjusted for the season as well. I am thrilled with the customer service, thank you!

Most Central Texas lawns benefit from a year-round fertilization and weed control program rather than just a few applications each year. At Century Outdoor Services, we use a 9-round program that provides the proper nutrients, seasonal weed prevention, and ongoing monitoring for insects and diseases. Timing each application to the season helps produce a healthier, thicker lawn than applying fertilizer only once or twice a year.
We specialize in the three most common lawn types found throughout Central Texas: Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine. Each variety has different fertilization requirements, mowing heights, watering needs, and pest concerns. Our treatments are adjusted to provide the best results for your specific turf type.
Most broadleaf weeds begin showing signs of control within one to two weeks, although complete control can take up to four weeks depending on the weed species, weather, and product used. Some weeds require multiple treatments throughout the season for complete control. We continually monitor your lawn and retreat problem areas when necessary.
It depends on the application. Some fertilizer treatments benefit from watering, while many weed control products need time to dry before irrigation. After every service, we leave detailed instructions explaining exactly when it is safe to water and mow your lawn.
Yes. We use professional products that are registered for residential lawn care and are applied according to all label requirements. Once the application has dried, children and pets can safely return to the lawn. Our technicians will always provide any temporary precautions following your service.
Brown patches can be caused by several factors, including drought stress, lawn diseases, chinch bugs, grub damage, irrigation issues, or dormant grass during seasonal changes. Proper diagnosis is important because each problem requires a different solution. Our technicians inspect your lawn during every visit and recommend the appropriate treatment if an issue is found.
Our program targets many of the most common weeds found in Austin, including crabgrass, dallisgrass suppression, spurge, clover, henbit, rescuegrass, chickweed, nutsedge, and many other broadleaf and grassy weeds. Seasonal pre-emergent applications help prevent many weeds before they ever appear.
Many weeds produce thousands of seeds that remain in the soil for years. Even after existing weeds are eliminated, new weeds can germinate as weather conditions change. That’s why year-round prevention and timely post-emergent treatments are essential for maintaining a clean lawn.
Yes. During each visit, we monitor for common lawn insects such as grubs, chinch bugs, and armyworms. If activity is found, we can recommend the proper treatment to protect your lawn before significant damage occurs.
Absolutely. Central Texas lawns commonly experience diseases such as Brown Patch and Take-All Root Rot, particularly during periods of excessive moisture or seasonal weather changes. Early diagnosis and treatment often prevent more extensive damage.
During the growing season, most lawns should be mowed approximately once each week. Removing no more than one-third of the grass blade at a time encourages healthier growth and reduces stress. Proper mowing height also improves weed control and drought tolerance.
Yellow grass can result from nutrient deficiencies, high soil pH, drought stress, poor drainage, insects, disease, or seasonal transitions. Determining the exact cause is important before applying additional fertilizer or treatments. Our technicians evaluate the entire lawn to identify the underlying issue.
No. We believe our results should earn your business. While our 9-round program is designed to provide year-round protection and the best long-term results, we do not require long-term contracts for our lawn care services.
We proudly serve homeowners throughout Austin and many surrounding communities, including Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Leander, Lakeway, and nearby areas throughout Central Texas.
We’re a locally owned and family-operated company that has specialized in Central Texas lawn care since 2013. Our programs are built specifically for Austin-area conditions, overseen by our Director of Agronomy, and backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
