Berlin, MD lawn care service starting at $19

Berlin is home to some of the prettiest lawns on the Eastern Shore, but keeping those emerald expanses picture-perfect isn't easy. The humidity can leave patches thin, and summer heat can turn thirsty grass into a crispy brown mess. 

You need a professional lawn care solution that's affordable, reliable, and local — and that's exactly what LawnStarter offers.

Our pros will keep your lawn lush in the heat and introduce robust grass varieties that stand up to the humidity. They’ll also mow, edge, trim, and more so your turf remains healthy and dense year-round.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Berlin:

Best Grass Types for Berlin

While Berlin's summers are hot and wet, winters often drop to around 30 degrees Fahrenheit. That's why cool-season grasses, which can endure and thrive in colder temperatures, are the ideal option. Some of the best cultivars include:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This variety has good foot-traffic resistance and can handle Berlin's occasional dry spells.
• Tall Fescue: This turf has a high tolerance for Maryland's summer heat, holding onto its vibrant green hue longer than other cool-season varieties.
• Fine Fescue: This grass is a great option for shaded lawns as it can tolerate low light conditions and adapt to less fertile soils.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This variety has good wear resistance and is often used in mixtures with other cool-season grasses to provide a lush, green lawn quickly.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow once a week from the early spring to the late fall. From June to August, reduce mowing to every 10 to 14 days.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Berlin

Berlin's combination of varying temperatures and moisture is particularly conducive to fungal diseases and insect infestations. Watch out for:

• Sod Webworms: They chew on grass blades, often causing widespread thinning, browning, or bare patches in the lawn during the summer and early fall.

Grubs: They feed on grass roots, causing the turf to become weak and discolored.

• Brown Patch: This fungus causes circular patches of brown, dead grass surrounded by a dark ring.
• Pythium Blight: This disease can quickly turn healthy grass into a slimy, decaying mess, especially in wet conditions.
