Here are a few things you should know:

Grass Types Matter Here

Rocky Mount is in the transition zone where both cool- and warm-season grasses thrive. Our top choices for a green and healthy lawn here are:

• Bermudagrass: Loves full sun and needs frequent mowing due to its fast growth rate. Mow regularly at a height between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• Zoysiagrass: It has good drought tolerance and creates a dense lawn that doesn’t mind shade. Mow at between one and two inches.
• Centipedegrass: This grass grows slow and might struggle with heavy foot traffic. It likes to be mowed at 1 to 2 inches. 
• St. Augustinegrass: A shade-tolerant grass that creates a dense lawn. It needs regular watering and fertilization and mowed at 3.5 to 4 inches.  
• Tall fescue: With high fertilization needs, this grass tolerates heat and drought better than other cool-season varieties. Mow it at 2 inches.
• Kentucky bluegrass: A durable grass that develops a thick carpet of bluish-green grass. It needs frequent mowing but handles wear and tear quite well.
• Perennial ryegrass: This grass does not have big fertilizer needs due to its slow-growing habit but will need supplemental irrigation during the dry season.
