Atwater, CA lawn care service at the click of a button

Atwater has that small-city charm with stunning natural scenery. With its sunny summers and wet winters, though, the scenery out your front window may not be so good. Lawn care here can be a challenge because of the change in seasons.

LawnStarter’s pros are here to help! They will mow, edge, and trim your lawn to ensure it stays healthy and green all year long.

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.

Best Grass Types for Atwater

Warm-season grasses grow best here because the summer temperatures can get quite high, but some cool-season grasses can also take the heat. These varieties are the most common here in Central California.

• Bermudagrass: A popular warm-season grass that thrives in full sun and is known for its durability and resilience.
• St. Augustinegrass: This warm-season variety loves the heat and is resistant to drought, pests, weeds, and disease.
• Zoysiagrass: A slow-growing, warm-season turf that forms a dense carpet-like appearance and stands up well to drought and foot traffic.
• Tall Fescue: While it is a cool-season grass, tall fescue can be a good option for Atwater's varied temperatures, providing a lush, green lawn year-round.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn?

During the peak growing season, typically from mid-spring to early fall, mow your lawn weekly to maintain its health and appearance. As temperatures cool in the fall and winter, you can reduce mowing frequency to bi-weekly.

Lawn Pests and Diseases in Atwater

With all the sunshine and rain here, pests and diseases can be quick to make your lawn their home. Keep an eye out for the following:

Crane Flies: The larvae of these insects can chew on roots, posing a threat to your lawn's health.

Sod Webworms: These caterpillars can create unsightly brown spots by feeding on grass blades.

Brown Patch: A fungal disease that thrives in warm, humid conditions, leading to large, discolored patches.

Crabgrass: A common weed that takes advantage of warm temperatures, quickly spreading if not controlled.
