Best Grass Types for Harker Heights

Harker Heights’ Central Texas location means only warm-season grasses thrive here. Popular varieties include:

• St. Augustinegrass: A very common grass in Central Texas, it doesn’t require much maintenance, but it doesn’t handle heavy foot traffic.
• Bermudagrass: This grass is drought-resistant, but it doesn’t do well in the shade.
• Zoysiagrass: This is a low-maintenance grass that recovers quickly and can handle colder weather.
• Buffalograss: This grass has a high drought tolerance and good cold tolerance, but needs lots of water to establish.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Between spring and fall, mow your lawn weekly. If there are watering restrictions in your area, push it back to two weeks.
