North Carolina Lawns:
North Carolina is divided into three
areas called the "Coastal Plains (Eastern side), The Piedmont area
(middle counties) and the Blue Ridge Mountain area (Western
counties).
Piedmont / Blue Ridge Regions:
From Asheville west into the Blue Ridge mountains Bluegrasses
can be used at higher / cool temperature mountain elevations.
The lower elevation areas of Blue Ridge and the Piedmont regions
are adapted for Fescues (Tall & Fine), Bluegrass, Bermudagrass,
and Zoysiagrass.
Along the Coastal Plains your
best choices are Bermudagrass (full sun areas), Centipedegrass,
Zoysiagrass (sunny to light shade), and in the shadier / moist
soil Tall Fescue and Carpetgrass can be used. Centipedegrass
can also be used in the warmer areas of Piedmont region. St.
Augustine is often found used along warmer coastal areas of the
Coastal Plains. A soil test should be obtained annually on
your lawn and in most areas of North Carolina the soil pH is
acidic requiring applications of lime. Ryegrass is used in all
areas, especially for overseeding Bermuda lawns to provide winter
color.
Two Great websites in North Carolina give the citizens of
this state some of the best information to be found on the web.
It is hard to say which web site is best:
(1) North Carolina State University - EDU:
http://www.turffiles.ncsu.edu/
TURFFILES! - Contains all kinds of info on Grasses for use
in the Carolinas.
