The Most Common Grass Types in Asheville: Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, fine fescue, and tall fescue are the most common grass types found in Asheville lawns and yards.

When is the Best Time to Plant Grass: Depending on the seed you're using, there are two different periods that should be considered to plant. The first is early fall for cool-weather grasses, and the second option is early spring –– mid-February to late March –– for the seeds that thrive in a warm climate and sunlight.

Spring Lawn Care Tips for Asheville: Springtime in Asheville is unlike spring in other states. The mild winter and warm climate mean that not much work needs to be done to keep care of the lawn –– only a few actions need to be taken. First, identify and treat any lawn diseases and pests that may have shown up over the winter. This is critical to the lawn's future health. Second, start up your sprinkler system that's been turned off for the winter. Next, dethatch your warm-season grass. Getting rid of the thick, dead undergrowth allows the lawn to absorb more sun, water, and nutrients. This is also a good time to aerate the lawn and fertilize any bare spots. Finally, start mowing the lawn weekly at a height of about one-and-a-half inches.

Fall Lawn Care Tips for Asheville: Asheville's winter is mild compared to other states' winters, so there's not too much that needs to be done to prepare your lawn for winter. But there are a few important things. Firstly, keep watering and mowing the lawn as long as it's still growing. Now's a good time to fertilize the lawn so it has the necessary nutrients to survive the winter. Lastly, before the first freeze, turn off any sprinkler systems you have and safely store your lawn equipment for the winter.

Common Lawn Pests: Grubs, chinch bugs, sod webworms, cutworms, and aphids are commonly found in the lawns of Asheville. Be sure to check the lawn at least once a month and treat any pests right away to prevent severe damage.
