Best Grass Types for Harlingen

Warm-season grass types thrive in Harlingen’s hot and humid weather. Some well-suited varieties include:

• Bermudagrass: Popular for its excellent heat and wear tolerance, this sun-loving grass establishes a dense turf.
• Zoysiagrass: It exhibits good drought and shade tolerance and creates a dense turf. However, it’s a slow-grower and requires more maintenance.
• Buffalograss: It is well-adapted to the hot Texas weather. This warm-season cultivar is a good drought-tolerant option. It’s also low-maintenance and requires less water.
• St. Augustine: With a good tolerance to heat, humidity, and shade, this grass makes a popular choice for Harlingen yards. It has a lush appearance and establishes a thick lawn.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? From March until mid-October, mow weekly or every one to two weeks, depending on growth.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Harlingen

Harlingen lawns aren’t safe from pests and diseases, so get to know your enemies. Here are common lawn nuisances to look out for:

• Leaf Eaters: Chinch bugs and armyworms graze on grass blades, causing irregular brown or yellow patches and wilting.
• Root Lovers: White grubs, beetle larvae, damage grassroots and create brown patches in the lawn.
• Fungal Diseases: Dollar spot, take-all root rot, and brown patch are common in Harlingen lawns during the warm and humid months. Spot them from irregular, brown patches of dead grass.
