Best Grass Types for Castro Valley
The Castro Valley's local climate can support warm-season and cool-season grasses that can withstand dry summers and mild winters. Here are a few grass options:
- Tall Fescue Grass: This cool-season grass adapts well to this climate. Itβs also drought-resistant and tough against foot traffic.
- Bermudagrass: Sturdy and resilient, this warm-season variant can withstand heat and foot traffic.
- Native Bentgrass: This low-maintenance cool-season grass can stay green with minimal watering.
- Perennial Ryegrass: Fast to take root and eager to spread, this cool-season turf is perfect for overseeding a lawn.
How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Throughout the main growing season, from late spring to early fall, aim to mow your lawn every week. Switch to mowing every two weeks when growth slows down during the cooler weather or drought periods.
Lawn Pests and Diseases in Castro Valley
The mild weather in Castro Valley can be a magnet for diseases and pests that feast on your lawn. Keep an eye out for the following:
- Sod Webworms: Sneaky and hungry, sod webworms nibble your lawn down to unsightly patches.
- Crane Flies: Their larvae love to feast on grassroots, causing brown spots and thinning turf.
- Dollar Spot: This fungal disease thrives in excess soil moisture, leaving small, circular patches of dead grass.
- Dandelions: This common yellow weed spreads quickly and can choke your grass.
