Hartsville, SC lawn care service at the click of a button

The Southern charm and hospitality are pleasantly overwhelming in Hartsville. From the colorful plants that seduce you as you walk through the Gardens at Coker University to a canoe ride down Black Creek, the atmosphere is enchanting.

However, depending on the time of year, you may think twice about these romantic adventures if you’d rather stay warm. Darlington County experiences four seasons, and winters can drop into freezing temperatures. LawnStarter can adapt to each season and make sure your lawn does too.

Our pros understand factors unique to Hartsville, including how the soil composition affects lawn care. They can mow, aerate, fertilize, and more to keep your lawn healthy.

Here's what lawn care looks like in Hartsville:

Best Grass Types for Hartsville

Warm-season grass types are best for this area of Pee Dee Country. They include:

• Centipedegrass: This grass is low-maintenance but does not recover well from heavy foot traffic. 
• Zoysiagrass: A favorite variety due to its dense growth pattern, it adapts to multiple conditions, including shade, full sun, drought, and humidity.
• Bermudagrass: Loves the heat and performs well in droughts, this variety grows aggressively and may invade nearby areas, like flower beds.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? For best results, mow every five to seven days from the late spring to the late fall. If you’re growing bermudagrass, mow every three to seven days.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Hartsville

Hartsville’s subtropical climate is conducive to easy plant growth, but it also leads to fungal growth and pest infestations. Here are some common lawn nuisances: 

• Chewing and Sucking Pests: Insects that chew or suck on grass blades, damaging the lawn and causing it to wilt, yellow, or brown include sod webworms and chinch bugs.   
• Burrowing and Digging Pests: If you see holes in your lawn, you may have critters that dig or burrow into the soil for food or habitat, like mole crickets and Japanese beetles. 
• Fungal Diseases: Humidity-loving fungi damage lawns, and common diseases include karnal bunt, gray leaf spot, and powdery mildew.
