Lawn care in Crestview involves:

Best Grass Types for Crestview

Hub City enjoys plenty of sunshine, typical of Florida's warm climate, yet it also experiences sudden rain showers and tropical storms. There are a few warm-season grasses perfectly suited for these conditions:

• St. Augustine: Ideal for Crestview's humid climate, this grass thrives in both sun and shade, offering a dense, lush lawn.
• Bermudagrass: This cultivar can withstand the city's sweltering summers and is perfect for high-traffic areas.
• Zoysiagrass: With its ability to resist common Florida pests, Zoysiagrass is a great option for a robust, low-maintenance lawn.
• Centipedegrass: This grass is well-suited for Crestview's soil, requiring less mowing and offering a unique, apple-green color.
• Bahiagrass: A good choice for the more rural areas around the city, this variety is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Florida’s warmth and humidity create the ideal growing conditions for warm-season grasses. From March to May, aim to mow weekly. During Hub City's peak growth period in the summer (June to August), mow every five days to prevent issues like thatch buildup and pest infestation. From September to November, drop your mowing frequency to every seven to 10 days until winter temperatures slow growth.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Crestview

Have you ever stepped out into your Crestview yard, expecting a scene from the lush Twin Hills Park, only to find it looking more like a battleground? It might be the work of some common pests and diseases.

• Chinch Bugs: These sap-sucking insects cause yellow patches in St. Augustine and Bermudagrass.
• Grubs: They're baby beetles that snack on the roots of your grass, causing dead, brown spots.
• Pythium Blight: Shows up fast, making the lawn look wet and greasy.
• Take-All Root Rot: This one hurts the grass roots, making the lawn thin and brown. It’s a big problem for St. Augustinegrass.
