Best Grass Types for Baldwin

Nassau County’s climate is slightly warmer than the rest of the state. However, most lawns will be comprised of cool-season grasses which thrive in the region. Some typical varieties include:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This high-maintenance grass requires frequent watering and can be prone to pests and diseases. However, it is incredibly soft in optimal conditions and recovers well from damage. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: This grass type is not prone to thatch and tolerates foot traffic well. Perennial ryegrass can be susceptible to fungal diseases in warm, humid environments.
• Tall Fescue: A low-maintenance grass, tall fescue tolerates many soil types and doesn’t generate a lot of thatch. However, it can be slow to recuperate from wear.
• Fine Fescue: Another low-maintenance variety, fine fescue is perfect for cool, humid climates. However, this grass is not appropriate for high-traffic areas.
• Creeping Bentgrass: This grass variety is well adapted to cold climates. However, it requires frequent mowing and can be vulnerable to weeds.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? During spring and fall, mow once a week. In summer when cool season grasses go dormant, reduce mowing to once every two weeks.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Baldwin

Our team of lawn care experts will protect your lawn from these common pests:

• Grubs: Various insects go through a larval stage, becoming lawn pests called grubs. These pests can cause thinning patches on your lawn by gnawing on the roots.
• Chinch Bugs: This insect feeds on turf, causing your yard to develop yellow patches that ultimately turn brown.
• Cutworms: These larvae, which belong to various moth species, can destroy lawns, vegetable gardens, and flowerbeds.
• Brown Patch: As the name suggests, brown patches are the common symptoms of this lawn disease. Rather than turning completely brown, grass blades develop lesions, leading to a discolored appearance of the affected area.
• Snow Mold: This fungus, resistant to cold, grows beneath layers of snow on lawns and can be incredibly bothersome for homeowners with allergies or asthma.
