Yards & conditions in Durham
Durham 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 Durham 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 lawn care in Durham
In Durham, transition-zone turf such as tall fescue, Bermuda and Zoysia is best maintained through early fall for cool-season turf and late spring for warm-season turf; mowing and feeding ease off outside the growing season. A steady schedule keeps the lawn ahead of weeds and heat.
