If you are deciding on a new lawn altogether, start by choosing either a cool season or warm season lawn.
COOL SEASON
These lawns look their best during the fall, winter and spring. They have a soft texture that is just perfect for bare feet. They can be grown in both sun and shade. Cool season is a blend of Fescue grasses that are well suited to this area.
Benefits of Cool Season:
- Great for erosion control
- Tolerates shade
- Green during the winter
WARM SEASON
These lawns look their best in the heat of the summer. They are heat-tolerant and water saving. Composed of bermuda, zoysia, centipede and St. Augustine grasses, warm season lawns are perfect for the heat and humidity of Hampton Roads.
Benefits of Warm Season:
- Heat tolerant
- Water saving
- Best in full sun
- Less trouble with weeds
- Dense growing, perfect for play
