Dalton, GA lawn care service at the click of a button

The nickname “The Carpet Capital of the World” has nothing to do with lawns resembling carpets. Nonetheless, it’s still the dream of every Dalton homeowner to have a lawn as thick and lush as a shag carpet from Shaw Industries. 

However, the seasonal changes in Dalton mean lawns need year-round care and a lot of attention to maintain their lush appearance. But why spend your free time working in the rain or, more likely, the heat when LawnStarter offers affordable mowing, trimming, edging, and fertilizing services?

Our professionals will keep your grass healthy and manage lawn pests, diseases, and infamous Georgia weeds.

Here's what you need to know about lawn care in the Carpet Capital of the World:

About Your Grass

North Georgia grass types consist primarily of warm-season grasses, but some homeowners prefer the way cool-season turf varieties remain green in the colder months. Here are our top picks for Dalton:

• Zoysiagrass: This variety performs well in heat and humidity. Its deep root system helps it survive the dry spells this area sometimes experiences. Mow between 1 and 2 inches.
• Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass’ resilience in hot summers and drought makes it a favorite for Whitfield County’s weather. Mow it frequently between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• St. Augustinegrass: This lush, dense turfgrass withstands heat stress moderately well. You should regularly fertilize, dethatch, and mow St. Augustine between 3.5 and 4 inches.
• Centipedegrass: This grass doesn’t tolerate drought or heavy foot traffic, but many gravitate towards its low mowing requirements. Keep it between 1 and 2 inches tall.
• Tall fescue: You can use this cool-season grass to overseed warm-season turf for the winter. However, it needs more water in the summer. Mow it down to 2 inches.

How often should you mow your lawn? The City of Dalton’s compliance code states grass must be kept below 12 inches. In general, we recommend mowing once per week in the spring, summer, and fall, and bi-weekly in the winter. However, if your grass type grows fast, like St. Augustine, you may have to mow more often (every 5 days or so) to remain compliant.
