Here's what lawn care looks like on Hilton Head Island: 

Best Grass Types for Hilton Head Island 

The best grass types for Hilton Head are warm-season grasses. They thrive in the constant humidity and salt air, creating a lush and durable lawn.

• Bermudagrass: A rich blue-green grass, it forms a dense covering and has high salt tolerance.
• Centipedegrass: It is low-maintenance, great for sandy soils, and shade-loving. 
• St. Augustine: Another shade-loving variety, this turf grows well in the hot sun and high humidity but tolerates shady landscapes too.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? LawnStarter’s experts recommend mowing weekly, every five to seven days, from the late spring until the late fall. Bermuda grows aggressively, so be sure to mow it as few as every three to seven days.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases on Hilton Head Island  

Hilton Head’s beautiful climate makes it easy to grow plants. Unfortunately, it also invites many pests and diseases. Be on the lookout for the following lawn nuisances:

• Sucking Insects: Spittlebugs and chinch bugs damage grass by sucking out the nutrients. 
• Digging and Burrowing Pests: Mole crickets and Japanese beetles dig into your lawn, penetrating the ground and damaging the grassroots.
