Local climate

USDA hardiness zone
8b (15°F to 20°F)
Typical temperature range
Average monthly temperatures in ZIP 29204 run from a 34°F low in winter to a 93°F high in summer.
Terrain
Columbia lies along South Carolina's Fall Line in the Sand Hills, with rolling terrain and sandy parent material in many areas.
Growing challenge
Summer heat and dry stretches put pressure on turf. Shade and drainage also change from one Columbia property to the next.

Zoysia

Zoysia handles heat and wear while tolerating more shade than Bermuda. It can work well on Columbia properties with mixed sun exposure.

Bermuda

Bermuda fits sunny properties that take heavy use. It handles heat, drought, and traffic better than the alternatives, as long as it gets full sun.

Centipede

Centipede needs less mowing, but it has less tolerance for wear and drought. It fits properties with lighter traffic and the right soil conditions.
