What’s it like to DIY your lawn care? Well, it’s a lot of work. It starts with the best grass types (see below), but then you need to know when to mow, fertilize, aerate, and dethatch. And you need to know how to care for and have a place to store your lawn care equipment.

Best Grass Types for Arroyo Grande

With the year-round warm weather and sunshine, Arroyo Grande has ideal conditions for warm-season grasses. These are the best suited for the Village.

• Bermudagrass: A popular warm-season grass that is durable and loves full sun. It pairs well with a cool-season variety for year-round green color.
• St. Augustinegrass: This warm-season variety loves the coastal climate and boasts excellent salt tolerance.
• Zoysiagrass: A slow grower that produces a thick, carpet-like appearance. This warm-season turf stands up well to drought and heavy foot traffic.
• Tall Fescue: A cool-season grass with deep roots, mildly heat-tolerant, and a good option for slightly cooler patches in Arroyo Grande.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn?

In the peak growing months, between mid-March and mid-October, mow weekly to ensure grass remains healthy. Reduce mowing frequency to bi-weekly during the cooler parts of the year.
