Best Grass Types for Niles

The Mitten State may be named for its shape, but cool-season grasses thrive here thanks to the cold weather. Our pros recommend:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: Known for its lush, fine texture, this turfgrass produces a deep blue-green color.
• Perennial Ryegrass: Quick to germinate, perennial ryegrass provides a thick, durable turf.
• Fine Fescue: This cool-season grass is excellent for shady areas and requires less maintenance.

When Should You Plant Grass Seed? The best time to plant grass seed in Niles is from the late summer to early fall to ensure strong root development before winter.

When Should You Mow Your Lawn? Start mowing in the spring when the grass reaches about three inches tall and continue mowing until the fall, maintaining heights between two to three inches.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Niles

Even though Niles is cold most of the year, lawn pests and diseases can still wreak havoc on your landscape. Here are some common turf enemies to watch out for:

• Grubs: These larvae feed on grass roots, causing yellow patches.
• Dollar Spot: A fungal disease, it creates small, round, sunken spots in your lawn.
