With a strong agricultural heritage complete with the University of Northern Colorado’s agricultural research center, Greeley is affectionately known as Garden City. But that’s not all it’s known for.

It’s also full of hospitality and friendly neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the semi-arid weather makes keeping a tidy front yard challenging. A professional can help.

LawnStarter’s pros provide affordable mowing, trimming, edging, and more to help your yard beat fluctuating temperatures. They will also irrigate, fertilize, and shield your lawn with preventative weed, pest, and disease control so your landscape exudes the true Greeley charm.

Here's what you need to know about lawn care in Greeley:

Best Grass Types for Greeley

The best grass types include drought-tolerant and low-maintenance cool- and warm-season varieties. Popular cultivars for Greeley include:

• Buffalograss: This native warm-season grass is well-adapted to the High Plains, needs little water, and withstands wind and foot traffic. 
• Zoysiagrass: Another warm-season grass, it creates a dense, attractive lawn and is heat- and drought-resistant. 
• Tall Fescue: A cool-season variety, this turfgrass develops a fine texture and keeps a year-round green hue with minimal maintenance. It tolerates some shade and a variety of soil types.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: It’s adapted to the cooler temperatures and forms a lush green lawn with a fine texture. However, this cool-season grass requires overseeding with a heat-tolerant grass in the summer when it enters dormancy. 

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? During the active growing season, from the spring to summer for warm-season grasses and in the spring and fall for cool-season grasses, mow every one to two weeks. Reduce mowing frequency to once every two to three weeks during the winter until dormancy occurs.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Greeley

Some common lawn pests and diseases that may target your Greeley lawn include:

• Foliage-Eating Critters: Sod webworms, armyworms, and chinch bugs attack grass blades and leave yellow, brown, and sad-looking patches in the yard.
• Fungal Diseases: Brown patch, rust, and dollar spot diseases cause brown spots and patches in the lawn and require fungicidal treatments.
