Best Grass Types for Van Buren

Van Buren lies in the transition zone. However, warm-season grasses grow best in its subtropical climate. Some homeowners overseed their lawns in the winter with a cool-season variety. Some well-adapted choices are:

• Zoysiagrass: Creates an attractive, dense lawn that exhibits good heat tolerance.
• Bermudagrass: This hardy warm-season grass is used all over Arkansas. It’s durable, drought- and heat-resistant, and grows quickly.
• Fescues: These are cool-season varieties, such as tall fescue, creeping red fescue, or fine fescue are used for overseeding warm-season grasses for a green lawn year-round.
• St. Augustine: Though not a popular choice for this region, St. Augustine does well in Van Buren lawns if given adequate water. It makes a great choice for shady lawns.

Recommended Mowing Frequency: Mow weekly from June to August and reduce mowing to every two weeks in September and October.

With the subtropical Arkansas weather, lawn pests and diseases are nothing new. Let our pros shield your lawn from common lawn problems like:

• Armyworms: Gobbling up grass blades, these caterpillars cause brown patches of dead grass. 
• Chinch Bugs: These tiny, black bugs not only suck moisture from your grass blades but also restrict water absorption so there’s no chance of recovery. They leave a lawn yellowing and wilting.
• Grubs: Root-feeding beetle larvae that live in soil, live off grassroots, and create dying, brown lawn patches.
• Pythium Blight: Loves wet and warm lawns and creates slime, rapid browning, and water-soaked grass blades in the affected areas.
