Lawn Care in Opelika
Opelika boasts urban sophistication amidst verdant valleys and rolling hills. The cityβs essence blends an industrial spirit with the beauty of green spaces marked by the well-preserved Victorian-era homes and modern structures like those found in Opelika Business Park.
Homeowners in Opelika face the challenge of maintaining their lawns in a climate characterized by hot, humid summers and mild winters. The region's rainfall can be ample, yet lawns require expert care to remain resilient during heat waves or unexpected dry spells.
LawnStarter provides professional lawn care fit for the local climate, helping homeowners overcome the challenges of lawn maintenance. Our pros handle the hard work so you have more free time to enjoy Opelikaβs beauty and community life.
What You Should Know About Your Grass
Warm-season grasses grow best in Opelika, though some homeowners opt for tall fescue, a cool-season cultivar. Here are the most common grass types:
- Bermudagrass: This turfgrass thrives in the sun and heat but has an aggressive growth habit. Fertilize and mow regularly, keeping your lawn between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
- St. Augustinegrass: It forms dense carpets, tolerating shade, sun, and heat. Mow the lawn frequently at 3.5 to 4 inches, and watch out for soil compaction.
- Tall fescue: This cool-season variety survives the winter months but goes dormant during the hot summers. Mow it frequently to keep it at 2 inches.
- Centipedegrass: A low-maintenance turfgrass that withstands heat and sun but does not tolerate heavy foot traffic. Keep it between 1 and 2 inches.
- Zoysiagrass: This dense variety requires sharp mower blades to keep it between 1 and 2 inches tall. It thrives in heat, sun, shade, and high-traffic areas.
How often should you mow your lawn? Mow every seven to 10 days from March to June. Increase your mowing sessions to weekly during the summer from July to August. Reduce your sessions to weekly or bi-weekly around mid-September until December when dormancy sets in.
