Best Grass Types for West Fargo

Barring a few warm-season exceptions, the most common grasses in West Fargo are cool-season grasses. Examples of both types include:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This cool-season grass is the most popular in North Dakota due to its ability to withstand the cold winters.
• Buffalograss: This grass has the best cold hardiness of all warm-season grasses and is low-maintenance.
• Tall Fescue: This is a cool-season grass with a high cold, heat, and drought tolerance - perfect for North Dakota.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This grass is highly durable and withstands heavy foot traffic, but it doesn’t like shade or drought.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow weekly during the growing season, which is spring and fall for cool-season grasses.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in West Fargo

Part of lawn care is ensuring your lawn is safe from pests and diseases, and our pros know how to handle the common culprits, like:

• Armyworms: They migrate to North Dakota and destroy your lawn in a short amount of time. They cause brown patches, ragged or lacey blades, and bald spots in your lawn.
• Cutworms: These pests feed on grass leaves when flowers and plants aren’t available.
• Red Thread: If you see strands of red on your cool-season grass, you have a red thread problem.
• Powdery Mildew: During periods of high humidity, this disease breaks out and kills turfgrass.
