Here’s what lawn care looks like in Edison:

Best Grass Types for Edison

Cool-season grasses grow best in Edison. Here are some of the common cultivars our pros recommend:

• Fine Fescue: This turf type requires minimal upkeep. It is shade-tolerant and great for erosion control thanks to deep roots.
• Tall Fescue: It is the most heat-tolerant and drought-resistant cool-season grass, remaining green during New Jersey’s humid summers.
• Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season grass is used for overseeding and often mixed with Kentucky bluegrass for a dense, resilient lawn.
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This resilient grass endures cold temperatures and heavy foot traffic and produces a blue-green hue.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow cool-season grass weekly in the spring and summer. Shift to bi-weekly mowing in the summer if you provide supplemental irrigation. Otherwise, mow monthly. Stop mowing in the late fall when your lawn enters dormancy, turning brown.
