Raleigh Area

Caring for your lawn in the Raleigh, NC area means working with our unique mix of warm summers, mild winters, and frequent humidity. To keep your grass healthy year-round, start by mowing at the proper height—around 3–4 inches for tall fescue and 1–2 inches for warm-season grasses like Bermuda or Zoysia. Consistent watering is key, especially during hot, dry stretches. Aim for one inch of water per week, applied in the early morning to reduce evaporation and prevent disease.

Fertilizing is best done in the fall and spring for cool-season grasses, while warm-season lawns benefit most from summer feeding. Don’t forget aeration, which helps relieve compacted soil common in the Triangle’s clay-heavy ground. Finally, stay ahead of weeds with seasonal pre-emergents and regular spot treatments. With just a little attention each season, your Raleigh lawn can stay lush, green, and resilient all year long.
