Santa Maria, CA lawn care service at the click of a button

Santa Maria offers mouth-watering barbecue and enchanting wine country. The city has deep agricultural traditions, and your slice of Santa Maria greenery can be as splendid as the surrounding landscapes — with some hard work.

The Mediterranean climate produces moderate temperatures year-round, making it easy to grow a robust lawn. Unfortunately, managing a lawn is an art form best left to the professionals.

LawnStarter’s pros can mow, trim, edge, and fertilize so your outdoor space is as welcoming and bountiful as the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail on a beautiful day.

Oh, and if you have questions about California’s Green Lawn Care Law, we’ve got you covered. As our Green Lawn Care Law FAQ notes, if you’re mowing with gas-powered mowers, blowers, edgers, you’ll need to replace them with battery-powered ones eventually.

Let LawnStarter’s local lawn care pros care for your yard, and don’t worry if you have the right equipment. Our pros are your neighbors. We know how to keep Golden State lawns green and lush.

Here’s what lawn care in Santa Maria looks like:

Best Grass Types for Santa Maria

Santa Maria’s Southern California coastal climate is warm and relatively mild year-round, and warm-season grasses grow best here. They tolerate salinity and thrive on less water. Our pros commend:

• California Buffalograss: It's a local warm-season favorite. It is also low maintenance, drought-resistant, and soft-textured.
• Bermudagrass: Resilient and drought-resistant, this warm-season turf maintains its lush appearance during warm summers and handles playtime and barbecues with ease.
• St. Augustine: Both heat- and salt-tolerant, this warm-season variety is a perfect match for coastal areas in Santa Maria.
• Kikuyugrass: This warm-season grass type spreads quickly and thrives in Santa Maria’s climate, making it a low-maintenance choice for active outdoor spaces.
• Zoysiagrass: With its deep green hue and fine texture, it's drought tolerant and thrives in both sun and shade.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Generally, keeping your grass trimmed every week during the early spring and summer is ideal. In winter, you can scale back to every other week. Santa Maria’s climate is mild, so you might need to break out the mower mid-winter to give your lawn a touch-up.

Lawn Pests and Diseases in Santa Maria

Every lawn faces challenges, and Santa Maria is no exception. Keep an eye out for these common issues that could affect your lawn's health:

• Armyworms: These pests chew on grass blades, turning a plush lawn into a spotty mess.
• White Grubs: These root-munching larvae can cause severe damage below the surface, leading to weak and withered grass.
• Brown Patch: This fungal invader flourishes in warmth and moisture, creating unsightly brown areas.
• Fairy Rings: Magical in stories, but in lawns, they create dark green circles that can signal lawn issues.
• Rust Disease: When orange or yellowish powder appears on your lawn, it could be a sign that this fungus is present, particularly in the late summer or fall.
