Here's what lawn care looks like in Flowery Branch: 

What You Should Know About Your Grass

Warm-season grasses grow best in this foothills region. However, some homeowners opt for cool-season varieties in this Gainesville metro-area city. Popular grass types include: 

• Tall fescue: Georgia homeowners often overseed with tall fescue in the fall and winter months for a green lawn all year. Keep it tidy at a height of 2 inches.
• Fine fescue: This cool-season, shade-tolerant variety grows well in the cooler months but requires more water in the summer and may go dormant. Mow between 2.5 and 4 inches.
• Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass is a top choice for Flowery Branch thanks to its drought and heat tolerance. Fertilize frequently and mow between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• Zoysiagrass: This dense turfgrass requires sharp mower blades but it tolerates heat and drought well. Keep it between 1 and 2 inches tall and keep an eye out for thatch buildup.
• St. Augustinegrass: Shade-tolerant and dense, St. Augustine is a high-maintenance variety that requires more water than other grass types. Mow between 3.5 and 4 inches.
• Buffalograss: This eco-friendly cultivar is incredibly low-maintenance and drought-tolerant but susceptible to weeds. Mow it between 2 and 3 inches tall. 

How often should you mow your lawn? We typically recommend mowing weekly in the warmer months—spring through fall. Warm-season grass types will go dormant in the winter months and probably won’t require maintenance. However, if you overseed with a cool-season cultivar, you may have to mow bi-weekly.
