Most grass types require adequate water content in the soil to thrive, and Texas’ soil is prone to drought. Our lawn water retention treatment programs keep your soil’s moisture content at optimal levels.

Our dual-action program is comprised of two alternating applications. The first and third treatments layer the lawn with granular beads that hold moisture in the soil. The second and fourth applications help moisture penetrate beyond the surface.

How Lawn Water Efficiency Services Work

Using innovative techniques and customized solutions, we maximize your water efficiency. Our process guarantees your lawn receives the care it needs for optimal hydration.
  • Step 1: Lawn Evaluation
  • Step 2: Lawn Preparation
  • Step 3: Lawn Water Efficiency Treatment

Step 1

Lawn Evaluation

A lawn care technician will conduct an in-person evaluation to assess your lawn’s needs. 

Step 2

Lawn Preparation

We recommend mowing your lawn prior to application to improve product efficacy.

Step 3

Lawn Water Efficiency Treatment

We schedule four applications during the summer months, typically between May and September, the hottest and driest months in Texas. We alternate between granular and liquid treatments for longer-lasting effects.

Sustainable Water Retention for Optimal Growth

Our lawn water efficiency services help optimize irrigation, reduce water waste, and keep your yard vibrant year-round. Here’s how our services promote sustainable watering during the hot summer months. 


  • Late Spring
  • Summer
  • Late Summer
  • Fall

Late Spring

With hotter temperatures nearing the end of spring, we recommend starting water efficiency treatments as early as May. After applying the first treatment, we schedule three more applications throughout the summer, alternating between granular and liquid treatments. 

Summer 

Texas’ summers can reach highs around 95°F, leading to droughts and dry lawns. Continuing with scheduled treatments gives your lawn the best chance of surviving the area’s historic heat. 

Late Summer

Summer is prime flea and tick season in Texas, as these pests thrive in hot, humid conditions. The third lawn treatment targets active fleas and ticks during the peak summer months.

Late Fall

The fourth flea and tick control application eliminates any remaining pests before winter. This prevents fleas and ticks from seeking shelter in your home and ensures your lawn is pest-free as temperatures drop.

FAQs About Lawn Water Efficiency Services

Question: How much of a difference does this treatment provide a lawn? Answer: Your lawn can absorb 30 to 50% more water. This can alleviate evaporation and runoff and reduce the risk of drought. Take a look at what our treatment did for this lawn.

Question: Should I also get other services with this treatment? Answer: Emerald Lawns provides various services to ensure healthier soil quality while creating efficient water retention solutions. Aside from our lawn water retention products, we recommend these additional solutions for the best results:
  • Irrigation Checks: To ensure your entire irrigation system is functioning efficiently.

  • Soil Analysis: To determine any nutrient deficiencies or compositions that make water retention more challenging for your soil.

  • Soil Aeration: To improve the flow of air, water, and nutrients in the soil and promote healthier turf growth. 

Not sure which services you need? Schedule an in-person evaluation with an Emerald Lawns lawn care specialist for recommendations. 

Question: What products are used in water retention treatments?
Answer: We use a combination of Hydretrain and Hydr8. Hydretain extracts the moisture in the air into droplets, while Hydr8 improves water penetration in the soil. 
Question: How often should I schedule treatments?
Answer: We recommend scheduling four applications from May to September, Texas’ hottest months. This ensures maximum water retention during a season when lawns are prone to drought-related issues. 
Question: Will water retention treatments reduce my water bill? Answer: By improving your lawn’s water efficiency, these treatments can help reduce the need for excessive watering, which can lower your water usage and monthly bill.
