Here in the Cape fear region, It is time to scalp your lawn very short. This should be done for all grass types in our area - bermuda, centipede, st. augustine and zoysia.
Todd's Lawn and Landscape Care recommends scalping your lawn very very short for 3 main reasons:
1. It cleans up the lawn and helps remove the old dormant
material.
2. By removing old dormant grass, the sun will be able to warm
up the soils faster. Old dormant grass and other winter debris
will act as an insulator and keep soil temperatures cooler.
3. It stimulates the grass to begin spring growth. The scalping
combined with warming soil temperatures will help your lawn
have a more uniform and faster green-up.
