Best Grass Types for Atascadero

Atascadero lawns need warm-season grasses that can handle both heat waves and cold snaps. Consider these grass types that are perfect for Central California:

• Zoysiagrass: A warm-season turf that thrives under high temperatures and provides a drought-resistant, thick lawn.
• Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass loves the heat, stays strong under the Atascadero sun, and tolerates foot traffic.
• St. Augustinegrass: It loves the heat and establishes quickly, making it ideal for covering bare spots or creating a new lawn fast.
• California Buffalograss: A native warm-season grass that fits perfectly into the local environment, supporting water conservation.
• Kikuyugrass: Known for its quick spread and notable heat and drought tolerance, making it a great choice for Atascadero lawns.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn?

Given the warm conditions, mow your lawn weekly during the spring and summer to avoid overgrowth. You can cut back to bi-weekly mowing when temperatures drop in autumn and winter.
