Beaufort, SC lawn care service at the click of a button

It takes a while to visit the 60-plus islands that create Beaufort. You may prefer to visit the home of the brave and former enslaved husband, father, and hero, Robert Smalls, who led his family to freedom during the Civil War. Whether you’re looking to explore nature or receive a history lesson, Beaufort has the perfect climate for it.

Although Beaufort County experiences four seasons, the winters are mild. The coastal waters produce salty air and high humidity, but LawnStarter’s experts adapt their lawn care services to the unique weather. They can mow, trim, fertilize, and more to keep your grass healthy.

Here's what lawn care looks like in Beaufort:

Best Grass Types for Beaufort

The best grass types for Lettuce City are warm-season grasses. They thrive in the high humidity, salt air, and summer heat.

• Bermudagrass: This grass type is a favorite for coastal homes because of its salt tolerance and ability to recover from heavy activity.
• St. Augustine: A variety that loves the hot sun and high humidity. It is the most shade-tolerant warm-season turf type.
• Centipedegrass: Another shade-loving grass. This variety is slow-growing and low-maintenance.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend weekly mowing, about every five to seven days, from the late spring until the late fall. Bermuda requires more frequent mowing, every three to seven days, due to its quick growth habit.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Beaufort

Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms can lead to waterlogged soil and potential issues, like root rot. Some of Beaufort’s most common lawn pests and diseases include:

• Chewing Pests: Signs these pests have invaded your lawn include wilted and brown grass blades. Sod webworms are common in the Palmetto State.
• Sucking Insects: If you have yellowing grass, it may be due to sap-sucking pests like chinch bugs.
