Lynchburg, VA lawn care service at the click of a button

Here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lynchburg has stunning natural scenery that changes with the seasons. From multicolored trees and snow-capped peaks to bright green blooms and colorful flowers, we get it all.

With seasonal changes, we also have to consider our lawns. Mowing schedules, aeration, weed control, and fertilization are necessary for our lawns to survive the changing conditions. But if you don’t have time to think about yard work, let us help.

LawnStarter has pros all over Campbell County who will protect your lawn against diseases and pests, keep it manicured, and ensure it survives the cold winters.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Lynchburg:

Best Grass Types for Lynchburg

Both cool-season and warm-season grasses are adapted to Lynchburg’s climate. You can also blend two types to keep your lawn green longer. Here are some common varieties:

• Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass loves direct sunlight and handles the hot, humid Lynchburg summers like a champ.
• Zoysiagrass: Adaptable to many soil conditions, this warm-season grass has great shade, drought, and cold tolerance.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: A cool-season grass, Kentucky bluegrass will go dormant if it doesn’t get enough water. It prefers sunny areas and is resistant to diseases.
• Tall Fescue: An overall low-maintenance grass, it is heat- and drought-tolerant but is slow to recover from damage.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow your lawn once a week during the growing season. For cool-season grasses, that’s in the spring and fall. For warm-season grasses, it’s from the spring through the fall. When your grass is dormant, you don’t have to mow.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Lynchburg

While some grasses are resistant to certain pests and diseases, there are several common culprits causing lawn damage here in the Burg.

• Grubs are small, white, c-shaped beetle larvae that feed on grasses.
• Cutworms are caterpillars that spend their days burrowed underground but come out to devour your grass in the evenings.
• Dandelions, while not a pest or disease, are a major problem. If you’ve ever plucked one to blow and make a wish, you know how easily they spread. 
• Brown Patch looks like yellow or brown circles on your lawn. It’s caused by too much moisture and is most common during the hot and humid summers.
