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

Okatie is home to Graves Farm and Zen Fusion Spa. It is also close enough to visit the attractions on Hilton Head Island and be back home while the night is still young.

The weather is beautiful year-round, but Okatie still experiences four seasons. The city’s proximity to the coast means the sea breeze can carry salt spray from the ocean. LawnStarter Pros can provide services that adapt to the changing seasons and provide protective barriers to minimize salt exposure.

Here's what lawn care looks like in Okatie:

Best Grass Types for Okatie 

The best grass types for Beaufort and Jasper counties are warm-season grasses that have high salt tolerance. Our pros recommend:

• Bermudagrass: Homeowners love this variety’s dense covering. It is salt-tolerant, withstands heat, and has an attractive blue-green hue.
• Zoysiagrass: Another turf type that grows densely. It is low-maintenance because it grows slowly and its thick growth pattern chokes out weeds.
• Centipedegrass: Although this grass is not recommended for high-traffic areas, it is an excellent option for shaded lawns. It is also a favorite because it is low-maintenance. 

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Our experts recommend mowing every five to seven days between the late spring and late fall. Given Bermuda’s vigorous growth, it may require mowing every three to seven days. If winter mowing is necessary, decrease your frequency to match the slower growth rate.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Okatie  

Okatie lawns are vulnerable to common South Carolina pests and diseases thanks to the heavy rainfall and humidity. The most common include:

• Chewing Insects: Pests like sod webworms chew on grass, causing damage that results in wilting, brown grass blades.
• Sucking Insects: Chinch bugs cause the grass to turn brown or yellow when they suck nutrients. 
• Fungal Diseases: High humidity and insufficient drainage can result in lawn diseases like take-all root rot and dollar spot.
