Here’s what lawn care in Northport looks like:

Best Grass Types for Northport

Various grass types grow well in Northport, though most homeowners opt for warm-season varieties.

• Bermudagrass: Celebrated for its robust nature, it thrives in Northport's hot summers and can endure even the most active of outdoor gatherings.
• Zoysiagrass: This grass handles foot traffic and partial shade well, making it ideal for Northport's diverse settings, from sunny riverbanks to tree-lined suburban lots.
• Centipedegrass: Suited to the acidic soils of Northport, this low-maintenance choice requires less mowing and fertilization.
• Tall Fescue: A cool-season grass, many Alabama homeowners overseed their warm-season turf with tall fescue for green winter lawns. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season sprinter can paint a lawn green quickly. It is ideal for overseeding during Northport’s winters or for quick lawn repairs.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend mowing your lawn weekly through Northport’s peak growing season, typically from early March to mid-September. When growth slows in the late fall, adjust your mowing schedule to every 10 to 14 days.

Common Northport Lawn Pests and Diseases

Even the most charming lawns in Northport may face the plight of pests and diseases, which could include:

• Fire Ants: These tiny aggressors are notorious for quickly establishing colonies and disrupting both the health and the enjoyment of your lawn.
• Chinch Bugs: These invaders suck the sap out of grass blades, particularly in St. Augustine lawns, leading to yellowing and eventual browning if left unchecked.
• Dollar Spot: Manifesting as small, silver-dollar-sized, tan spots on the lawn, this fungus thrives in moist conditions and undernourished turf.
• White Grubs: Root-hungry larvae can devastate your lawn’s foundation; watch out for dead patches where grass pulls up too easily.
• Spring Dead Spot: Particularly affecting Bermudagrass after winter, this disease creates large, circular patches of brown, dead grass as temperatures warm in the spring.
