Burton, MI lawn care service at the click of a button

Home to the Iron Belle Trail, Stepping Stone Falls, and the For-Mar Natural Preserve and Arboretum, Burton has plenty of ways to connect with nature - and you don’t need a lawn mower to do it.

Burton has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Summers are warm and humid, while winters are cold and snowy. This can make taking care of your lawn quite difficult.

That’s where LawnStarter comes in. Our pros offer affordable and hassle-free lawn care. No matter the weather or task, our pros are equipped to handle it, giving you free time to enjoy with your family.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Burton:

Best Grass Types for Burton

Burton is in USDA Hardiness Zone 6a, meaning temperatures can drop as low as -10 to -5°F. Because of this, only cool-season grasses can survive here, such as:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: The most common grass type in Michigan, it can handle the cold and snow Burton experiences.
• Perennial Ryegrass: Often mixed with Kentucky bluegrass to form a lush lawn, it can withstand wear and keep its green color through the winter.
• Fine Fescue: A low-maintenance grass with low fertilization and water needs. It works best when paired with other cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass.
• Tall Fescue: It can go long periods without water thanks to its deep and extensive root system. It’s also heat and shade-tolerant and disease-resistant.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn?: Mow weekly during the growing season from April to November. In October and November, gradually reduce how often you mow. You don’t want it to get too short before it goes dormant for the winter.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Burton

To keep up with Burton’s beauty, our pros will eradicate any lawn pests or diseases you might have, such as:

• Armyworms: True to their name, armyworms team up to destroy your lawn, leading to dead patches.
• Billbugs: These insects feed on lawns, leaving circular to irregularly shaped dead patches in their wake.
• Chinch Bugs: Tiny insects that cause the grass to yellow and wilt. 
• Powdery Mildew: A white mass of spores appears on the grass, causing leaves to wilt and die.
• Red Thread: Red to pink fungi grow on the grass during times of high humidity and temperatures between 60 and 90°F.
