Greensboro has four distinct seasons. Due to fluctuating between warm and muggy summers and cold and snowy winters, growing and maintaining a lawn in this climate can be challenging. However, LawnStarter has the knowledge and experts you need to keep your lawn happy and healthy any time of the year.

The Most Common Grass Types in Greensboro: The five most common grass types in Greensboro are bermudagrass, tall fescue, centipedegrass, zoysiagrass, and Kentucky bluegrass.

When is the Best Time to Plant Grass: Warm-season grasses are best planted in late spring and early summer, whereas cool-season grasses are best seeded in early fall or early spring.

Spring Lawn Care Tips for Greensboro: Water in the early morning for best results, but don't overwater it. Mow every 4 to 7 days, but only mow for one-third of the grass' height. Apply fertilizer as early as late February. Use a core aerator in areas where water seems to form puddles, then rake the cores back onto the lawn to redistribute the present nutrients.

Fall Lawn Care Tips for Greensboro: Remove your leaves from your lawn once a week. Fertilize three times per year depending on if your grass is warm-season or cool-season - April, September, and November for cool-season grasses, and April, June, and September for warm-season grasses. Add amendments to your soil. Dethatch, aerate, and overseed cool-season grasses. Apply pre-emergent herbicides. Winterize your sprinkler system. Prep your lawn care equipment for storage - clean and sharpen mower blades, wipe down your equipment to remove dirt, empty your gas tank, and check and change the oil and air filter.
