Here's what you need to know about lawn care in Millsboro:

Best Grass Types for Millsboro

In the humid climate of Southern Delaware, warm-season grasses perform better than cool-season varieties. But still, some heat-resistant cool-season cultivars can help keep a lawn green year-round.

• Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass thrives in sunny and hot conditions and is known for its heat- and drought-tolerance. 
• Zoysiagrass: Another warm-season option that develops a dense, carpet-like turf. It’s resistant to drought, pests, and heat. 
• Centipedegrass: Low-maintenance and medium-textured, this warm-season variety is perfect for Millsboro lawns with acidic soils. 
• Fescues: This cool-season grass is adaptable to various soil types and tolerates sun, drought, and shade with minimal maintenance needs.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend mowing your warm-season grasses weekly from spring through fall and switching to bi-weekly mows when it gets cold. For cool-season grasses, mow every one to two weeks during spring and fall.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Millsboro

Lawn pests and diseases can seriously damage your lawn. Some common nuisances to keep an eye out for are:

• Chinch Bugs: These are small insects that eat grass blades and leave yellow and brown areas in lawns.
• Grubs: Beetle larvae with an appetite for grassroots, these grubs will turn a green lawn into a patchy and sad-looking landscape.
• Armyworms: These also feed on grass blades and cause irregular, large brown patches in lawns.
• Dollar Spot: This is a fungal disease that creates silver, small dead spots in the grass the size of a silver dollar.
• Brown Patch: Another fungal nuisance that creates brown grass patches, usually with a darker outer ring.
