Zoysia, Bermuda & St. Augustine — The Three Turf Types You Will Find in Carolina Forest
Carolina Forest was developed largely in the early 2000s through the 2010s, and the sod choices made during those phases still dictate how lawns need to be managed today. Zoysia was the dominant installation choice for many communities — particularly The Farm, Berkshire Forest and Waterbridge. It offers a dense, attractive stand but needs specific management: mowing heights between 1–2 inches, lighter fertilizer applications than Bermuda and a slightly later pre-emergent window because of its slower spring green-up compared to coastal Bermuda.
Bermuda appears in sunnier lots and newer construction phases throughout Plantation Lakes and surrounding communities. It responds well to the warm Horry County growing season but requires timely pre-emergent application — targeting February 1–20 for inland Carolina Forest areas — and more frequent mowing during summer peak growth.
St. Augustine shows up in shadier lots where Bermuda struggles to thrive. It tolerates partial shade better but is sensitive to scalping and needs to be kept at 3–4 inches to maintain root depth. Misidentifying turf type and mowing too short causes thinning that recovery from takes a full growing season.
Bakerss Carolina Forest lawn care programs are built around identifying what is actually growing on your lot and managing it correctly — not applying a generic Grand Strand schedule to every property we touch.

How is pressure washing different for Carolina Forest vs. coastal neighborhoods?
Carolina Forest properties are inland, so salt air is less of a factor. However, heavy tree canopy across many older CF sections produces significant pollen, organic staining, algae on north-facing surfaces and moss on driveways that pressure washing addresses effectively — particularly in spring after pollen season and after fall leaf drop.
