Local knowledge
What Charlotte Homeowners Need to Know
Charlotte’s Red Clay Soil Requires a Specific Approach
Mecklenburg County’s heavy red clay soil drains poorly, compacts easily, and has naturally low fertility. Standard landscaping approaches designed for loamy soils don’t work well here. Charlotte landscapers routinely amend clay soil with compost and gypsum, and design drainage solutions into new planting beds. Ask any potential landscaper how they handle clay soil before hiring.
Bermuda vs Fescue: Choosing the Right Grass
Charlotte sits in the transition zone between warm-season and cool-season grasses. Bermuda grass thrives in Charlotte’s heat and drought but goes dormant brown in winter. Tall fescue stays green year-round but needs more water in summer. A good local landscaper will match grass type to your specific yard conditions.
