Here's what lawn care looks like in Ypsilanti:

Best Grass Types for Ypsilanti 

Cool-season grasses grow best in the southeastern section of The Mitten State. The best grass types for Ypsi include:

• Perennial Ryegrass: Commonly mixed with Kentucky Bluegrass, it’s a fast-growing grass and great for erosion control.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: The most popular grass used in The Great Lake State. KBG is a favorite due to its high cold tolerance.
• Tall fescue: Homeowners love that this turf type is low maintenance and resistant to heavy traffic, heat, and drought conditions.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow every week from April until about November. When grass growth slows between October and November, gradually decrease mowing frequency. Stop mowing when the temperature is consistently below 50 degrees. If your grass goes dormant in the summer, you can give the mower a reset until fall.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Ypsilanti 

Michigan’s variable weather patterns create a thriving environment for pests and diseases.

• Chinch bugs: These pests damage lawns by sucking on grass blades, causing them to yellow. 
• Chewing Pests: Armyworms and sod webworms are common examples of insects that chew on grass blades, causing them to brown and yellow. 
• Fungal Diseases: Gray snow mold and fairy ring are examples of some of the most prevalent fungal infections in the area.
