What pests and disease issues should I watch for in Charleston?

Common lowcountry turf pests include chinch bugs, grubs, armyworms, and sod webworms — plus fungal issues in very wet seasons. Early detection (brown patches, birds digging) and professional diagnosis are key. GreenPal providers can add pest-checks or pest-control services to your request.

How do I pick a trusted Charleston provider, and what if work isn’t right?

Pick by: recent local reviews, job photos, repeat-hire rate, and clear bids that list exactly what’s included.If a job is unsatisfactory: vendors upload a photo of completed work and you confirm; if there’s an issue, GreenPal’s help resources and vendor support guide dispute resolution and re-service options. Always message a vendor directly first — most issues are resolved quickly.

How does GreenPal Work?

Common questions about how GreenPal can help you hire the best lawn care service in Charleston

What is GreenPal and how does it work for Charleston homeowners?

GreenPal is an online marketplace that connects Charleston homeowners with vetted local lawn care pros. Post your yard details once, receive competitive bids from nearby vendors, choose the time and service you want, and manage bookings in the app or website. This single-post, multiple-bids model saves you time and helps you compare real providers in the Holy City.

How does GreenPal help me save time and money in Charleston?

Instead of calling multiple local companies, GreenPal delivers bids and provider profiles to you in minutes so you can pick the best value. Recurring scheduling (weekly, every 10 days, or bi-weekly) prevents over-service and costly emergency visits, which usually saves homeowners money over the season.

How do payments and billing work when I hire a Charleston vendor?

GreenPal customers enter payment details during booking, but payments are processed through the lawn company’s own Stripe merchant account, not GreenPal. Providers upload a photo of completed work; after you confirm, the vendor charges your card via their Stripe connection. GreenPal does not hold or handle your funds.

When is Charleston’s lawn-care season and what are the busiest windows?

Charleston’s active season generally runs from early spring through late fall (roughly March/April → October/November). Spring green-up and fall leaf/cleanup windows are the busiest times for aeration, overseeding, and debris removal. Plan ahead for those high-demand weeks.

How often should I schedule mowing in Charleston — and how many mowings is that per season?

Typical schedule: weekly during the active growth months (spring through summer), then spacing out in late summer/fall as growth slows. Experts recommend following the “one-third” rule (never cut more than a third of blade length). Estimated visits: weekly March–November is roughly 30–35 mowings in a busy season (exact number depends on your start/end dates and how often you want cuts). This is an estimate based on a weekly cadence through the main growth window. (If you prefer bi-weekly, expect ~15–18 visits.)

What grass types are common in Charleston and does that change care?

Charleston lawns tend to use warm-season grasses: St. Augustine, Bermudagrass, Zoysia, Centipede, and Carpetgrass. These varieties influence mowing height, watering schedules, and seasonal fertilization — so tell vendors your grass type when you request a bid.

Which Charleston neighborhoods and nearby towns does GreenPal serve?

GreenPal covers Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry: Downtown (Historic District), West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, North Charleston, Summerville, Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island — and many more tri-county neighborhoods. Vendors know local microclimates and soil differences across these areas.

What does a typical lawn-mowing visit cost in Charleston?

Prices vary by yard size and condition, but typical ranges are: about $30–$60 per visit for many Charleston yards; some platforms report averages near $40–$60 depending on frequency and yard size. Use GreenPal to compare live bids — that’s the quickest way to find an affordable local price.

What seasonal add-ons should Charleston homeowners consider?

Common Charleston add-ons: aeration & overseeding (spring or early fall), spring cleanup, fall leaf removal, fertilization programs, mulch refresh (spring), shrub pruning, and storm-debris removal after coastal storms. Bundling several services into a seasonal plan reduces trips and improves lawn health.

How does Charleston’s coastal climate and soil affect watering, mulch & placement?

The Lowcountry is humid and often sandy (quick drainage), so:Water deeply but less often to encourage deep roots; morning watering is best.Mulch helps retain moisture and protects roots from salt spray near the barrier islands.Choose drought-tolerant species for exposed lots. Local pros will tailor irrigation recommendations and mulch timing for sandy loam or coastal soils.
