Here's what lawn care looks like in Bluffton:

Best Grass Types for Bluffton

Warm-season grasses grow best in this Lowcountry town's climate, which typically does not have a true winter dormancy period. Varieties include:

• Zoysiagrass: A local favorite, it has a slow growth rate and low maintenance requirements. It also grows densely to choke out weeds.
• Bermudagrass: Another turf type that produces a thick covering,  its excellent salt tolerance makes it ideal for this coastal town. 
• Centipedegrass: A low-maintenance variety, it grows well in the shade but is vulnerable to pests and diseases and does not tolerate heavy use.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Our experts recommend mowing every five to seven days, from the late spring until the late fall. Bermuda grows aggressively and needs mowing every three to seven days. The extended growing season may require winter mowing but decrease the frequency as needed.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases on Bluffton  

Beaufort County’s heavy rainfall and humidity, especially during the hurricane season, can cause fungal growth and lawn pests. The most common issues include:

• Chewing Insects: Wilting brown grass blades signal pests, like sod webworms. They feed on healthy lawns, chewing grass blades.
• Sucking Insects: These pests cause brown or yellow turf. Critters, like chinch bugs, suck the sap from the grass blades. 
• Fungal Diseases: High humidity and waterlogging cause fungal infections like dollar spot and take-all root rot.
