Best Grass Types for Lenoir

Lenoir is located in the transition zone, which means both cool and warm-season grasses grow well here. The transition zone can experience significant variations in temperature, so it’s essential to know your grass type and what makes it tick:

• Tall Fescue: This cool season grass variety tolerates a variety of conditions. Tall fescue doesn’t develop much thatch but can be slow to recover from damage.
• Fine Fescue: Even though it is a cool-season grass, it tolerates full sun and heat. Fine fescue also performs well in humid environments, however it is susceptible to disease.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This cool-season grass has a reputation for being a little high-maintenance. It is also prone to thatch and insects. However, Kentucky bluegrass tolerates cold exceptionally well. 
• Centipedegrass: This warm-season grass is sensitive to heavy foot traffic and prone to thatch, but it does not require frequent mowing or fertilization.
• Zoysia Grass: This warm-season grass grows well in various soils and tolerates cool temperatures. However, it grows slowly.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? You should mow your lawn once a week during the peak growing season. For cool season grasses, this will be spring and fall. Meanwhile, warm-season grasses have their peak season in the summer.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Lenoir

Let LawnStarter kick pests out of your yard for good:

• Grubs: Lawn grubs are the larval stage of beetles. These pests feed on the roots of your grass, causing dead patches.
• Armyworms: Armyworms are caterpillars in the larval stage of some species of adult moths. You may notice damage like brown spots, ragged grass blades, or bare spots.
• Cutworms: These larvae belong to various moth species and can destroy lawns, vegetable gardens, and flowerbeds.
• Sod Webworms: These troublesome caterpillars damage your lawn, causing brown spots to form. Sod webworms can be identified by their signature webs, which can be noticed in the morning dew.
