Best Grass Types for Tuscaloosa

Your lawn can be as resilient as the Crimson Tide's defense when you choose the right grass. Heat-tolerant grass types include:

• Bermudagrass: A true warrior in the heat that remains lush and vigorous.
• Zoysia: The perfect choice for a soft yet durable lawn.
• St. Augustine: Provides a dense cover, thriving in warm, humid conditions and shady landscapes.
• Centipedegrass: Requires minimal attention, making it ideal for the busy Tuscaloosa homeowner.
• Tall Fescue: While preferring cooler temperatures, it can also hold its own in Tuscaloosa, though it will go dormant in the summer.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? To ensure your lawn remains healthy, LawnStarter recommends weekly mowing during the spring, summer, and fall, when your Tuscaloosa lawn is in full growth swing.

As the cooler weather arrives and growth slows, adjust your mowing schedule, switching to bi-weekly sessions up until the winter dormancy months.
