What Westport yards actually need.
Westport is a master-planned Kennesaw community — open sight-lines, formal front yards, consistent street presence. Which means two things for landscape: the HOA cares how your lawn reads from the curb, and the grass that was installed was almost certainly Bermuda.
- Bermuda is the baseline. Cut at 2 inches through the growing season, liquid aeration in spring once it's fully greened, and pre-emergent goes down mid-February. Miss the pre-emergent window and crabgrass owns your summer.
- Interior tree-heavy lots that struggle with Bermuda often do better as Fescue — we can convert, but it means a September overseed and a year of transition. Only worth it if the shade is genuinely too deep for Bermuda to hold.
- HOA-presentable every visit. Crisp string-trimmed edges along beds and walks, hard-edged driveway lines, full property blow-off, no debris on the curb. That's what covenants enforce here.
- Clay soil underneath everything — a soil test and a lime application in year one usually pays for itself in growth response by month three.
