PatchLawn care calendar by grass type
Month-by-month timing for pre-emergent, fertilizer, mowing height, overseeding, and disease control. Pick your grass.
Aggressive warm-season turf that greens up when soil holds 65°F. Loves heat, sun, and short mowing. Goes dormant (brown) with the first frost.
Dense, slow-growing warm-season turf. Late to green up, late to go dormant. Lower N needs than bermuda; excellent shade tolerance for a warm-season grass.
Broad-bladed warm-season turf that thrives in heat, humidity, and coastal soils. Sensitive to many herbicides — always check the label for St. Augustine safety.
Tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass. Two growth flushes: spring and fall. Fall is your make-or-break month — seed, feed, and set up next year.
