Yards & conditions in Winston-Salem
Winston-Salem sits in USDA hardiness zone 7b with hot, humid summers and cool winters. Local yards typically deal with heavy red clay and the tricky transition-zone climate where both warm- and cool-season grasses are grown. That’s why Winston-Salem lawns are usually planted with transition-zone turf such as tall fescue, Bermuda and Zoysia, with the best results in early fall for cool-season turf and late spring for warm-season turf. A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule drainage work in Winston-Salem
