Best Grass Types for Athens
Warm-season grasses grow best in this northeastern region of The Peach State. Popular varieties include:
- Centipedegrass
- St. Augustine
- Zoysia
- Bermudagrass
Pro tip: St. Augustinegrass is one of the best warm-season grass types for shady lawns.
How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Your mowing frequency depends on your grass type. Some varieties grow faster than others. Typically, we recommend mowing weekly in the spring, summer, and fall but reduce your frequency to bi-weekly mowing in the winter.
Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Athens
Athens’ temperate climate makes growing grass fairly easy. Unfortunately, it also means lawn pests and diseases also thrive in Classic City.
Lawn Pests: Fall armyworms, Japanese beetle grubs, mole crickets, spittlebugs, fire ants, and southern chinch bugs are some of the pests that plague Athens lawns.
Lawn Diseases: Unfortunately, there are many lawn diseases in Clarke County that homeowners should look out for. These include brown patch, dollar spot, Pythium, take-all root rot, slime mold, nematodes, and gray leaf spot.
