Here’s what lawn care in Santa Rosa Beach looks like:

Best Grass Types for Santa Rosa Beach

Northwest Florida boasts a humid subtropical climate, with average summer temperatures soaring above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. That's why warm-season grasses are ideal for Santa Rosa Beach's lawns. They can handle the heat, humidity, and a bit of drought.

• Bermudagrass: If your Santa Rosa Beach yard is a sun-soaked spot, Bermuda needs to be your go-to. It's incredibly drought-tolerant once established, making it a wise choice during the city's dry spells.
• Zoysiagrass: Zoysia is the plush, comfy carpet of grasses. It feels great under your feet and is tough enough to handle Florida's hot summers.
• St. Augustine: This variety loves Santa Rosa Beach's sandy soil and doesn't mind a bit of salt from the Gulf.
• Centipedegrass: This turf is very low maintenance since it doesn't need a lot of fertilizers or mowing.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow your lawn at least once per week during the summer to maintain a healthy length and promote growth. However, in the transition months (spring and fall), reduce mowing to once every 10 to 14 days as growth slows.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Santa Rosa Beach

In Santa Rosa Beach, lawns have to face off against some sneaky enemies that love the city's coastal climate as much as you do. Knowing what to look out for can keep your turf in top shape.

• Nematodes: These microscopic worms can be a big problem in neighborhoods with sandy soil like Gulf Trace and Old Florida Beach. They attack grassroots, leading to patchy, thin areas.
• Fire Ants: These pests create large mounds that can smother and kill grass, disrupting the beauty and health of your lawn.
• Gray Leaf Spot: This fungus creates grayish spots on grass blades and can quickly spread.
• Take-All Root Rot: Common in St. Augustine, this disease weakens the roots, leading to thinning and browning patches.
