Wilmington, NC lawn care service at the click of a button

Wilmington’s location near the beach makes it impossible to avoid the waves calling your name. Even if you aren’t a beach fan, Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park, Airlie Gardens, and Battleship North Carolina should be enough to get your mind off of a lawn mower.

Wilmington’s humid climate creates mild winters, lengthy springs, and hot summers. Such variances in weather make lawn care a hassle.

No matter the weather, LawnStarter can handle it. Our pros know North Carolina’s climate and offer high-quality, customizable lawn care at an affordable price. Our pros will set you up for a healthy, green, and lush lawn.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Wilmington: 

Best Grass Types for Wilmington

Unlike most of North Carolina, only warm-season grasses thrive in Wilmington, with the most popular varieties being:

• Bermudagrass: Barbecue lovers, you’re in luck: this grass has excellent foot traffic tolerance while withstanding the intense summer heat.
• Zoysiagrass: This grass is very drought-resistant, so it doesn’t need much water. However, it has stiff blades, so mow it with care.
• St. Augustine: This is one of the most shade-tolerant warm-season grasses, but it needs frequent mowing to look its best.
• Centipedegrass: This is a low-maintenance grass, but it takes a while to grow, so be patient.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend mowing your lawn at least once a week. Mow high in the spring and summer, but shorter in the fall and winter.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Wilmington

Part of our work delivering lawn care is to protect your grass from pests and diseases, such as:

• Armyworms: These worms leave brown patches and spots on your lawn, or ragged and transparent grass blades.
• Chinch Bugs: These bugs leave irregular patches on your lawn. 
• Dollar Spot: This fungus causes patches of brown grass to crop up that look like silver dollars.
• Brown Patch: Look for a big brown circle of grass on your lawn. Some white mycelium might appear in the early morning hours.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

In addition to lawn care, our pros will handle all of your landscaping needs, like:

• Leaf Removal: Leaves suffocate your grass, so our pros will remove them to let your lawn get the sunlight it needs.
• Bush Trimming: Our pros remove the diseased parts of the bush, preserving the rest.
• Sod: Rather than plant grass seeds, our pros will lay an already-planted layer of grass where there is a dead patch.
