Spartanburg, SC lawn care service at the click of a button

From historical landmarks to having the most trails in the Palmetto State, Spartanburg’s attractions keep you on your toes. After you’ve worked up a sweat and appetite while exploring local sites, the breweries, wine bars, and diners will quench your thirst and satisfy your palate.

It is great that this northeastern corner of South Carolina has both outdoor and indoor outlets to appease. However, the Hub City experiences fluctuating weather that makes some outdoor activities, like lawn care, less than fun.

LawnStarter has experts who can mow, fertilize, and provide lawn treatments that keep your lawn thriving in the high humidity, dry periods, hot summers, and occasional frosts. Plus, you will have more time to do the things you love.

Here's what lawn care looks like in Spartanburg:

Best Grass Types for Spartanburg

Grasses that adapt to variable weather conditions, like certain warm-season grasses, are best for Spartanburg County. Some of the most common varieties include:

• Zoysiagrass: A Sparkle City favorite because it is low maintenance, this variety’s dense growth pattern reduces weeds, and the slow growth rate means the grass needs less mowing and fertilization than other varieties.
• Bermudagrass: A turf type that has excellent drought tolerance and is commonly used on golf courses, it works well on high-traffic lawns. 
• Centipedegrass: While it has low resistance to pests and diseases, this turf type is low-maintenance and has good shade tolerance.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? We recommend mowing once every five to seven days from the late spring to late fall. Monitor the grass for rapid growth and mow more often if necessary. When the grass is no longer in the active growing season, reduce mowing frequency.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Spartanburg

Elevated humidity levels often promote certain lawn problems. Some common lawn pests and diseases include:

• Chinch Bugs: An infamous pest in South Carolina, they cause patches of yellow and brown grass, which typically becomes visible in the summer. 
• Japanese Beetles: Very destructive insects that feed on grass roots, causing brown patches and dead grass. 
• Rust: A result of drought and low nitrogen, this fungus is commonly found in South Carolina home lawns with Zoysiagrass.
