Lawn Care Tips

Expert advice from 23+ years of experience in coastal Georgia landscaping.

1

Know Your Turf Type

Coastal Georgia commonly has Bermuda, Centipede, St. Augustine, and Zoysia grasses. Each has different maintenance needs. Bermuda needs mowing twice weekly in peak season, while Centipede is weekly, and St. Augustine/Zoysia are biweekly.

2

Watering Wisdom

Our sandy soils drain quickly, so deep, infrequent watering is better than frequent light watering. Early morning is the best time to water—it reduces evaporation and disease risk.

3

Fertilization Schedule

Coastal Georgia lawns benefit from a 5-application program throughout the growing season. This includes fertilization, weed control, and insect prevention tailored to our climate.

4

Common Pests to Watch

Molecrickets, armyworms, and chinch bugs are common in our area. Look for brown patches, thinning grass, or visible insects. Early treatment is key to preventing damage.

5

Disease Prevention

Brown patch, take-all patch, and fairy rings are common lawn diseases here. Proper mowing height, good drainage, and avoiding overwatering help prevent most issues.

6

Seasonal Timing

Peak maintenance season is May through July. January through March is slower—a great time for bigger projects. Spring and fall are ideal for new installations.
