Here's what lawn care looks like on Saint Simons Island: 

About Your Grass 

The best grass types for this island are warm-season grasses that have high salt tolerance. 

• Centipedegrass: One of the most popular grass types for coastal Georgia, centipedegrass is low-maintenance and grows well in partial sun. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches.
• St. Augustinegrass: This variety loves humidity and creates dense, salt-resistant turf. It grows quickly, so mow it between 3.5 and 4 inches, fertilize regularly, and watch out for thatch development.
• Zoysiagrass: Another dense variety, Zoysia is drought- and shade-tolerant. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches. It may develop thatch if you overfertilize it.
• Bermudagrass: This aggressive grower is hardy and often used on Saint Simons golf courses. It needs frequent fertilization, dethatching, and mowing between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• Bahiagrass: This turfgrass handles salt and sandy soils well, making it a great low-maintenance option for the coast. Mow it frequently between 3 and 4 inches.

How often should you mow your lawn? Our experts recommend mowing every week from the spring to the fall. Mowing might not be necessary during the milder winter months, though some homeowners mow bi-weekly depending on their grass type.
