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

The late spring frosts in Gainesville can make lawn care tricky. But LawnStarter Pros know the best schedule for lawn care treatments and can give Blue Ridge Mountain lawns a lush, green, carpet-like look.

North Georgia experiences all four seasons, with winters that can extend into the spring months. Thankfully, you can still have a lawn that is as impressive as its Southern neighbors.

Our pros will mow on a schedule, apply fertilizer treatments, and manage pests and diseases to make sure your grass survives the cold and thrives everywhere in between. 

Here's what lawn care looks like in Gainesville: 

About Your Grass 

Cool-season and warm-season grasses both grow in North Georgia, but some are better adapted to the mountainous regions than others. 

• Fescue: These cool-season grasses grow well in North Georgia, remaining green during mild winters but going dormant in summer. Mow fine fescue between 2.5 and 4 inches and tall fescue to 2 inches.
• Bermudagrass: This hardy, sun-loving variety is popular with Georgia homeowners thanks to its drought and heat tolerance. Fertilize regularly and mow between 1.5 to 2.5 inches.
• Zoysiagrass: Another hardy cultivar, this dense turfgrass grows well in sun, shade, humidity, and dry conditions. Mow between 1 and 2 inches, and fertilize carefully to avoid thatch.
• Centipedegrass: This low-maintenance variety does not tolerate drought or heavy foot traffic. However, it requires little fertilizer and mowing. Keep it between 1 and 2 inches.
• St. Augustinegrass: This grass grows well in shade, producing a thick carpet. However, it's high maintenance. Fertilize and mow frequently, cutting it between 3.5 and 4 inches. 

How often should you mow your lawn? Our experts recommended mowing weekly from March until November, though you may have to increase your frequency to every five days in the summer depending on your cultivar. Bermudagrass is an aggressive grower that requires more frequent mowing.
