Ocean City, MD lawn care service at the click of a button

Sunshine, salty air, and endless waves — Ocean City living is the dream. But that ocean breeze can be tough on your lawn, leaving you battling against salt spray damage and sandy, nutrient-poor soil.

Add to that Worcester County's relentless summer heat and unpredictable thunderstorms, and lawn care becomes a never-ending struggle. Luckily, LawnStarter Pros are experts in dealing with the tricky climate and offer friendly and hassle-free lawn care services.

Regular soil check-ups, picking the perfect salt-tolerant grass, and specialized care like mowing and edging — they have it all covered. Plus, they'll handle drainage to prevent pooling after the summer storms and tackle pests and diseases that flourish in damp conditions.

Here’s what lawn care in Ocean City looks like:

Best Grass Types for Ocean City

Ocean City sits in the transition zone, which means both cool-season grasses and warm-season varieties can thrive here. Here are the best options: 

• Bermudagrass: This warm-season turf has good salt-air tolerance and resists the scorching summer temperatures.
• Seashore Paspalum: Another warm-season cultivar, it's a perfect match for Ocean City's sandy soils.
• Tall Fescue: With its deep-root system, this cool-season variety withstands both summer droughts and foot traffic.
• Fine Fescue: This cool-season grass is low-maintenance, shade-tolerant, and thrives in Maryland's cool spring and fall.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? For warm-season grasses, mow weekly from June to August. Cool-season grasses, on the other hand, need once-a-week mowing during the spring and fall.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Ocean City

Ocean City's coastal climate, with its high humidity and sandy soils, tends to attract certain lawn pests and diseases. The salty air and occasional flooding can also add to lawn stress, making it more vulnerable to problems like:

• Sod Webworms: They feed on grass blades, leading to brown patches on your lawn.
• Chinch Bugs: They extract the sap from your grass blades, which leads to yellow patches.
• Brown Patch: A common fungal disease in humid climates, it causes large, circular brown patches.
• Dollar Spot: Also prevalent in Ocean City, this fungus creates small, sunken patches on your lawn.
