Princeton, NJ lawn care service at the click of a button

In addition to Princeton University, Princeton has spacious parks, hiking trails, and Carnegie Lake. It doesn’t take a college education to know there are outdoor activities that don’t involve a lawn mower.

Princeton’s hot, wet summers and cold, snowy winters combined with nor’easter activity create a difficult lawn care routine.

Not for LawnStarter, though. If there was a Master’s degree in lawn care, each of our pros would have one. They’re well-educated in New Jersey’s climate and use that knowledge towards affordable, high-quality lawn care.

Best Grass Types for Princeton

Princeton is in the northeastern region of the United States, so only cool-season grasses can thrive here. Below are the most common varieties:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This cool-season grass thrives in colder temperatures and is often mixed with fine fescue for optimal growth.
• Fine Fescue: This cool-season grass is drought-tolerant and is commonly mixed with Kentucky Bluegrass.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season grass is resilient in cold weather and can withstand heavy foot traffic.
• Tall Fescue: This cool-season grass is low-maintenance and tolerates heat and drought, but is slow to recover from damage.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly during the growing season (spring, summer, and fall).
