Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Houma
Houmaβs Cajun culture and nearby bayous and waterways make it an interesting place to live, presenting many opportunities for nature lovers. From the Cajun Music Festival to Mardi Gras, Houma keeps you busy. The last thing you want to do is head outside for lawn chores.
Lawn care is a daunting task. It is hot and humid in the summer, thereβs always ample rainfall, and tropical storms and hurricanes lurk around the corner. Thankfully, winters are short, but add pests and sandy soil to the mix, and you have the perfect recipe for a headache.
LawnStarter can take over. Our experts mow, trim, edge, and more to prep your lawn and take it through the seasons.
Here's what lawn care looks like in Houma:
Best Grass Types for Houma
With no snowfall, warm-season grasses thrive here. Some of the best choices include:
- Zoysiagrass: A heat- and drought-tolerant grass type, it forms a fine-textured, dense lawn. Zoysia has better cold tolerance than any other warm-season grasses.
- St. Augustine: A popular choice for Houma, this grass type has excellent shade and heat tolerance and withstands periodic flooding. However, it needs regular watering and fertilization to stay healthy.
- Bermudagrass: This hardy, sun-loving variety is drought-tolerant and establishes a dense turf. Itβs also resistant to foot traffic but may go dormant and brown during the winter.
- Centipedegrass: This is a low-maintenance variety that adapts well to acidic soils and shows good heat tolerance.
How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Our experts recommend mowing every seven to 10 days during the spring and summer, reducing mowing frequency to every 10 to 14 days during the fall, and eventually stopping during the winter.
Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Houma
Louisianaβs humidity brings plenty of pests and lawn diseases to yards. Our pros will shield your lawn against:
- Chewing Pests: Armyworms and sod webworms eat grass blades, causing irregular patches of brown, messy turf.
- Sucking Pests: Lawn nuisances like chinch bugs pierce and suck the life out of grass blades, leaving them yellow and brown.
- Fungal Diseases: Fungal infections are common in Houmaβs high-moisture atmosphere, with brown patch and dollar spot being the most damaging. They create bleached and sad-looking patches of dead turf.
Other Outdoor Services We Offer
Take advantage of our additional services to add more charm to your outdoor space. Our pros offer:
- Landscape Design: From specimen trees, bordering shrubs, and privacy hedges to flower beds and vegetable gardens, our pros will create a functional landscape.
- Tree and Shrub Maintenance: Get your greens ready for every season with pruning and trimming services.
- Hardscaping: Make the most of Houmaβs short winters and extend your outdoor season with hardscaping like a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and seating area.
