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.
