Chico may not have the Golden Gate Bridge, but it's renowned for its unique charm, the Bidwell Park expanses, and a community spirit that blossoms just like the roses it's nicknamed after. And, amidst this scenic Northern California locale, your home's landscape can stand out as a testament to Chico's natural beauty.

The city flaunts a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild, wet winters. The key to a full and vibrant lawn here is understanding and working with these seasonal shifts.

Here's what lawn care in Chico looks like:

Best Grass Types for Chico

Chico's climate requires cool-season grasses that can survive some heat as much as they can handle chilly, damp winters. Our experts recommend:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: Celebrated for its deep color and fine texture, this cool-season grass has a luxurious texture. It excels in cool seasons, suiting Chico's milder winters and springs.
• Colonial Bentgrass: This cool-season variety is a favorite for its fine texture and mowing tolerance. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season grass is a quick grower and offers a robust green color. It's often used for overseeding and germinates quickly.
• Tall Fescue: Its deep roots make this turfgrass shade-, drought-, and heat-tolerant.
• Fine Fescue: This cool-season group of turfgrasses suits low-traffic areas, thriving in dry, shaded spots.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? With Chico’s lengthy growing season, regular mowing from the spring through early fall is essential. Aim for weekly mows to ensure your lawn stays healthy and manicured. Come fall, you might ease up to bi-weekly cuts as your lawn takes a breather.

Lawn Pests and Diseases in Chico

Yes, Chico's climate is mostly pleasant, but it's also an open invite to pesky intruders that can harm your lawn. Common lawn pests and diseases include: 

• Grubs: These beetle larvae can wreak havoc on your lawn’s roots if not treated.
• Chinch Bugs: Small yet destructive, chinch bugs suck the juices out of grass blades and inject toxins that can kill patches of your lawn in the summer.
• Rust: Often appearing when the grass is under stress, particularly in the drier months, this fungus coats your lawn in unsightly rust-colored powder.
• Nutsedge: This weed is a tough nut to crack, popping up faster than you can pull it.
