Morganton, NC lawn care service at the click of a button

Between apple picking, wine tasting, and hiking, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors in Morganton without using a lawn mower.

Morganton’s hot and muggy summers, cold winters, and year-round precipitation can make lawn care quite a challenge.

Not for LawnStarter, though. Our pros understand North Carolina’s climate and offer high-quality, customizable lawn care. Read on to learn more about lawn care in Morganton.

Best Grass Types for Morganton

Morganton is in the Mountain region of North Carolina, so cool-season grasses are the best choice for a top-notch lawn. Here are some popular varieties:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: A drop in temperature is nothing to Kentucky Bluegrass, which can survive harsh winters. Forming a lush, blue-green lawn in the spring is a bonus.
• Perennial Ryegrass: It establishes a lush, green lawn, but is usually combined with Kentucky Bluegrass to create a lawn with the best of both worlds.
• Tall Fescue: This grass is low-maintenance, making it worthwhile if you want a lawn that doesn’t require much TLC.
• Fine Fescue: A grass that can tolerate drought conditions, but truly comes to life in the Mountain region’s moist soils and cooler temperatures.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? North Carolina State University recommends mowing weekly and biweekly during the growing season.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Morganton

LawnStarter’s pros shield your lawn from common lawn pests and diseases, such as:

• White Grubs: These small critters chew on grassroots, causing the turf to wilt or die and the lawn to feel soft and spongy.
• Chinch Bugs: They suck fluid from the grass, causing it to wilt and discolor.
• Pythium Blight: This disease causes patches of grass to look waterlogged and web-like material forms on them. 
• Dollar Spot: Affected patches of grass have brown lesions on them. The disease can expand to 6 inches or more in diameter.
