Here’s what you need to know about lawn care in Endicott:

Best Grass Types for Endicott 

While Endicott may be a bit warmer and more humid than the rest of New York, the village is in USDA hardiness zone 5b. This means that the vast majority of lawns in Endicott are comprised of cool-season grasses, which grow well here and tolerate the freezing winters.

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass type is considered high maintenance due to its frequent watering requirements, but it tolerates drought and shade well. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: This grass variety is very soft and not prone to thatch. Perennial ryegrass has low shade tolerance and recovers slowly from damage.
• Creeping Bentgrass: This grass variety adapts well to the cold and tolerates foot traffic at longer lengths. However, it can be prone to thatch and weeds.
• Tall Fescue: This grass is generally low maintenance and tolerates heat, drought, and various soil conditions well. 
• Fine Fescue: This grass type grows in full sun and partial shade. It has good drought resistance and doesn’t require frequent mowing.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? During the peak growing seasons in spring and fall, your lawn needs weekly mowing. Remember to never cut more than one-third of the grass height at one time.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Endicott

Our lawn care professionals will shield your yard from these common lawn problems:

• Grubs: These pesky critters are the larval stage of beetles. They cause dead spots by gnawing on roots.
• Sod Webworms: If you notice webs in your lawn in the morning dew, you likely have sod webworms. Another sign of this lawn pest is a scalped appearance from the sod webworms eating the turf.
• Brown Patch: As the name implies, the telltale signs of this disease are circular brown patches on your lawn. Other signs of this fungal disease include a gray perimeter around the affected area.
• Dollar Spot: This fungal lawn disease begins around the size of a silver dollar but can grow up to 6 inches wide. 
• Snow Mold: These cold-resistant fungi grow on lawns under the snow in winter, which can cause lasting damage to your lawn.
