Maintain the lawn you can support through the season.
In Dripping Springs, a recurring lawn scope should be coordinated with the property’s available water rather than based only on appearance at one site visit. Hays Trinity’s conservation resources provide regional context for that discussion. Confirm the actual provider’s conditions and identify which areas are intended to remain lawn.
Separate routine mowing and edging from renovation of struggling areas. If a narrow or shaded strip repeatedly fails, discuss a different landscape use instead of automatically resodding it. For commercial sites, prioritize entrances and shared spaces in the service map. Define cleanup, access and reporting of irrigation faults so maintenance visits contribute useful observations without implying unlimited water or guaranteed turf recovery.
