  3. 3.August: late-summer maintenance feed
  4. 4.October: optional pre-dormancy feed (skip if first frost is within 4 weeks)

Lawn Care Considerations in Dunwoody

Southern lawns face armyworms in late summer (especially after wet stretches), brown patch fungus through humid June-September, and chinch bugs in St. Augustine. Most Southern states have nutrient management rules limiting phosphorus and timing summer nitrogen applications. Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine dominate because they thrive in heat and humidity while tolerating year-round insect pressure.

Mow frequency
Once a week during active growth (late April through October). Bermuda grows fastest — may need two cuts per week during peak summer.
Mow height
Bermuda: 1 to 2 inches. Zoysia: 1.5 to 2.5 inches. St. Augustine: 3 to 4 inches (taller shades roots and crowds out weeds). Centipede: 1.5 to 2 inches.
Water needs
1 to 1.5 inches per week during active growth. Less in spring and fall when temperatures are mild.
Irrigation
Recommended in most of the Southeast for consistent green color through summer. St. Augustine lawns especially benefit from supplemental irrigation.
