Common grass types in Matthews lawns

Like the rest of the Charlotte area, Matthews lawns are usually tall fescue, Bermuda or Zoysia. Each one needs a different schedule.

Tall fescue

Cool-season grass common in shaded yards. Stays green most of the winter, is fed mainly in fall and can thin out in summer heat.

Bermuda

Warm-season grass for full sun. Turns tan when dormant in winter and is fed from spring green-up through summer.

Zoysia

Dense warm-season grass that also goes dormant in winter and generally needs less nitrogen than Bermuda.

Seasonal fertilization and weed control

Our lawn programs include seven core treatments a year, timed to the Charlotte-area seasons. Weed prevention goes down in late winter before crabgrass sprouts, and again in fall for winter weeds like henbit and chickweed. Fertilization follows your grass: fall for tall fescue, late spring and summer for Bermuda and Zoysia.

Core aeration and qualifying overseeding

The red clay soil found across the Charlotte area compacts easily, which keeps roots shallow and lets water run off. Core aeration loosens it so roots can grow deeper. Plus and Premium include annual aeration; Essential customers can add it once when they get a quote.

Premium also includes fall overseeding for qualifying, maintained tall fescue lawns. Learn about aeration and overseeding.

Add mosquito, flea and tick control

Pair a lawn plan with our Mosquito, Flea & Tick Program and save 15% (Essential), 25% (Plus) or 35% (Premium). Perimeter pest control is available too.
