Durham lawns have unique needs based on their soil makeup and growing conditions. The typical North Carolina lawn here has sandy-silt soil with good organic matter content, making it suitable for both cool and warm season grasses. While the slightly acidic pH of 6.1 works well for most grasses, regular soil testing helps track nutrient levels.
To maintain a healthy lawn in Durham:
- Choose grass types that match your yard's sun exposure - tall fescue for shade, bermuda for full sun
- Follow a seasonal fertilizer schedule based on your grass type
- Water deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth in sandy soil
- Mow at proper height: 2.5-3.5 inches for tall fescue, 1-2 inches for bermuda
The sandy soil structure means Durham lawns need consistent care to maintain nutrients. A custom lawn plan can help balance the soil's natural phosphorus, potassium, and iron levels while building stronger roots. Regular lawn care practices like proper mowing height and timing of fertilizer applications will help create a resilient lawn that can handle North Carolina's weather changes.
