Here’s what lawn care looks like in Olympia:
Best Grass Types for Olympia
Cool-season grasses grow best in this area of the Pacific Northwest. Our pros recommend the following varieties for Olympia:
- Kentucky Bluegrass: This cool-season grass offers disease resistance and a beautiful blue-green hue.
- Fine Fescue: Ideal for shaded areas, it thrives in cool temperatures.
- Bentgrass: This turfgrass is prone to diseases, but it is also heat- and drought-tolerant.
- Tall fescue: Adaptable, this turfgrass withstands heat and drought well thanks to deep roots.
- Perennial Ryegrass: A cold-hardy grass, it is often mixed with Kentucky bluegrass and used for overseeding.
How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? During the growing season from the late spring to early fall, mow weekly. As temperatures drop, shift to mowing bi-weekly, adjusting based on your lawn's growth.
Law Pests and Diseases in Olympia
Olympia's moist weather creates challenging conditions that invite lawn pests and diseases. Watch out for:
- Moss: Flourishing in the damp climate, moss can invade shaded areas.
- Chafer Beetles: Larvae damage lawns by feeding on grass.
- Snow Mold: A fungus that can appear after snow melts, causing brown patches.
