Best Grass Types for Oceanside

Yes, we know Long Island is known for its beaches, but that doesn’t mean we’re a tropical paradise. Most lawns in Oceanside have cool-season grasses, which thrive in our temperate climate. Some popular types include:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This high-maintenance grass requires frequent watering and has a shallow root system. Kentucky bluegrass is a beautiful emerald to blue-green color with a soft texture. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: This grass type tolerates heavy foot traffic and has a lovely soft texture. It doesn’t handle shade well, however, and recovers slowly from damage.
• Tall Fescue: A low-maintenance grass, tall fescue tolerates heat and drought well. However, it is vulnerable to the lawn disease brown patch.
• Fine Fescue: Another low-maintenance variety, fine fescue tolerates full sun and partial shade. However, this grass can be susceptible to disease.
• Creeping Bentgrass: This grass tolerates foot traffic well at longer lengths. However, it requires frequent mowing and can be susceptible to thatch.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Cool season grasses should be mowed weekly during spring and fall which is their peak growing season. These grasses can go dormant in summer, so you can reduce mowing to once every two weeks.
