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

Trenton draws foodies with the summer Pork Roll Festival, film connoisseurs with the Trenton Film Festival, and committed eclectics with the community art show, Art All Night. Or, if you’d rather do something more intimate, you can find a spot downtown overlooking the Delaware River. Whatever activity you choose, lawn chores are probably not one of them.

Mercer County’s fluctuating weather makes maintaining a healthy and thriving lawn challenging. That’s where LawnStarter comes in. Our pros know just what to do to keep your grass green and lush.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Trenton:

Best Grass Types for Trenton

Cool-season grasses perform well in this region of the Garden State. Here are some of the most common varieties our experts recommend:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: A variety that grows best in full sun but adapts to partial shade, it is cold hardy and often mixed with fine fescue. 
• Fine Fescue: This cool-season grass is often combined with KBG to promote optimal growth and a lawn that performs well in shady conditions. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: It tolerates heavy foot traffic, is cold-hardy, and germinates quickly.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Our experts recommend weekly mowing from the spring through fall. Aim to mow at a height between 2.5 to 3.5 inches.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Trenton

LawnStarter Pros mow, trim, edge, and more. Here are some of the most common lawn pests and diseases we treat to keep your lawn beautiful:

• Chewing Insects: Chinch bugs and billbugs are prevalent pests that feed on lawns, causing yellow patches, brown spots, and thinning.
• Fungal Diseases: The Capital City’s high humidity can encourage fungal infections that discolor your grass. Pink patch and rust are two examples. The former causes patches of pink grass, the latter turns the grass a rust color.
