Abingdon, VA lawn care service at the click of a button

Featuring a lively arts and crafts industry, Abingdon packs small-town charm and an award-winning food scene. From hiking the Appalachian Mountains to fishing in South Holston Lake, you always have something to do on the weekends. 

However, lawn chores may halt some of these fun plans, and lawn care in Abingdon is a pain due to its extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the hot and humid summers and cold winters favor a variety of fungal diseases and pests.

Pair that with the clay soil, and this explosive combination will test your patience. LawnStarter’s pros understand your struggles and offer budget-friendly mowing, edging, trimming, and more to give you a year-round healthy turf.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Abingdon: 

Best Grass Types for Abingdon

Abingdon experiences four seasons, making warm- and cool-season grasses suitable for the region. While cool-season grasses are typically recommended, warm-season cultivars also grow with some success. Popular grass types include: 

• Tall Fescue: A durable cool-season grass that adapts well to cold and heat, it’s also drought- and disease-resistant. 
• Kentucky Bluegrass: Another popular cool-season variety for Abingdon, it develops a fine-textured lawn with good cold tolerance but requires moderate maintenance.
• Perennial Ryegrass: With good heat and cold tolerance and quick germination, this cool-season grass creates a fine-textured turf and is often used for overseeding in the fall.  
• Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass is well-suited for hot and humid Abingdon summers. It’s known for its excellent wear tolerance and rapid growth. 

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend mowing your cool-season turfgrass every one to two weeks during the spring and fall. Ease off mowing in late November. Mow bermudagrass every week in the spring and summer and slow down to mowing every two to three weeks in the fall.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Abingdon

Abingdon lawns get their share of pests and fungal diseases. Keep an eye out for:

• White Grubs: These larvae wreak havoc on the grassroots and cause brown patches. 
• Armyworms: These are quick-eaters, feasting on grass blades, causing irregular, large brown patches of dead grass. 
• Brown Patch: This fungal disease attacks in hot and humid conditions, creating brown patches of dead grass. 
• Dollar Spot: Another lawn nemesis, this fungus causes small, dollar-sized patches of dead grass in the lawn.
