Best Grass Types for Defuniak Springs

Have you ever wondered why that lush Kentucky Bluegrass lawn from your favorite gardening show just won't flourish in your yard? Well, here's the answer: DeFuniak Springs falls in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b.

It experiences mild winters and long, hot summers, which means only warm-season grasses grow well in the area. Here's a closer look at the top choices:

• St. Augustine: This grass thrives in most soil types, from the sandy patches near the coast to the loamy soils inland.
• Bermudagrass: Bermuda's quick growth rate makes it a top pick for repairing lawns damaged by common summer activities like BBQs and yard games.
• Centipedegrass: This grass is a favorite in the area for its low fertilizer needs.
• Zoysiagrass: Zoysia is valued for its pest resistance, particularly against common local pests like chinch bugs and grubs, reducing the need for chemical treatments.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Defuniak's sunshine fuels fast lawn growth, so mow at least once per week during the summer. When the cooler fall months arrive, stretch your sessions to once every other week.
