Best Grass Types for College Station

East-Central Texas stays hot and muggy for most of the year. Generally, warm-season grasses perform well here, adjusting to the seasonal shifts in the region. Popular varieties include:

• St. Augustine: This is a low-to-medium maintenance variety that tolerates shade and drought well. However, it does not tolerate foot traffic well.
• Bermudagrass: A popular pick due to its drought tolerance, Bermudagrass has a fast growth rate, low maintenance needs, and it thrives in hot and sunny conditions. 
• Zoysiagrass: With its dense growth habit, Zoysiagrass fills landscapes with fine-textured, dark green grass. It’s best known for its tolerance in low light conditions and hardiness in cold weather.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow once a week during the growing season, from April to mid-October. In the off-season, switch to mowing every two weeks till growth slows or stops.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in College Station

The warm College Station climate isn’t just a treat for us, it also makes a nice home for pests and diseases. A few common nuisances to get acquainted with include:

• Chinch Bugs: These leaf-sucking insects feed on grass sap and will leave your lawn with yellow and brown patches.
• Sod Webworms: Another grass-blade-attacker that is active during warmer months, they cause thinning and irregular brown patches by consuming grass blades.
• Brown Patch: Prevalent in hot and humid conditions, this fungal nuisance causes circular patches of dead grass in the yard. 
• Take-All Root Rot: This fungal disease attacks grassroots, turning them black and causing rot in lawns with poor soil drainage. The fungus appears as thinning and yellowing grass.
