What type of grass grows best in the Lowcountry, SC?

The most common warm-season lawn grasses on the South Carolina coast are:

• Centipede — low-maintenance, thrives in acidic sandy coastal soil, needs little fertilizer; the most common lawn grass on the SC coast.
• St. Augustine — coarse, shade- and salt-tolerant, loves humid coastal conditions; common near the water.
• Bermuda — full-sun, drought- and traffic-tolerant, needs more frequent mowing and feeding.
• Zoysia — dense, slow-growing, handles some shade; popular in newer subdivisions.

The right choice depends on sun exposure, soil, and how much traffic and maintenance you want. Our crews tailor mowing height and fertilization to whichever grass you have.

How often should I mow my lawn in Charleston and the Lowcountry?

During the warm-season growing months (roughly April through October), most Lowcountry lawns need mowing about once a week to stay healthy and prevent scalping. Growth slows in late fall and winter when the grass goes dormant, so mowing becomes occasional. We keep you on a consistent schedule so your lawn never gets away from you.

When should I fertilize and apply weed control in South Carolina?

In South Carolina’s warm-season lawns, apply pre-emergent weed control in late winter/early spring (around February–March, before soil reaches ~55°F) and again in early fall (September) for winter weeds. Wait until the lawn has fully greened up in mid-to-late spring before the first fertilization. Mow weekly through the summer growing season, water deeply and infrequently, and aerate warm-season turf in late spring to early summer during active growth. Reduce mowing and winterize irrigation once the lawn goes dormant in late fall. We build a season-appropriate program for your specific lawn so feeding and weed control happen at the right time.

Do you service vacation rentals and second homes?
