Lawn care is a major concern as a healthy lawn yields many benefits. From pest prevention to just being aesthetically pleasing, we should all strive for a healthy lawn. To ensure the best chance of your lawn prospering, you should have an understanding of the many turf options and how they stand to benefit you.
St. Augustine Grass
One of the most common grasses in Manatee, St. Augustine grass has adapted to growing in warm weather which makes it perfect for the Manatee climate. It is also able to thrive in many different types of soil which make it easy to maintain. Unfortunately, a concern with this grass is its need for regular watering, which when done incorrectly could result in thatch buildup.
Bahia Grass
If you have dry or sandy soil, Bahai grass might be the best bet for you. Due to its tough resilience, Bahia grass is the second most common in Manatee. It is tolerant against droughts and has very modest maintenance needs, requiring minimal fertilization. However, it does require weekly mowing in the summer, and it will turn brown as the weather begins to cool.
Bermuda Grass
Considered to be quite beautiful, Bermuda grass is also very soft and strong against the elements. Installation is quick and during any time of year and it turns your lawn into a lush and pleasing view. Despite the many positives, Bermuda grass requires substantial maintenance, such as mowing twice a week, fertilizing it monthly, as well as frequent watering.
