Here’s what lawn care looks like in the Sixth Borough:

Best Grass Types for Jersey City

Cool-season grasses thrive in the Northeastern region of the state. Our pros recommend the following varieties:

• Kentucky Bluegrass: This grass grows well in full sun or partial shade. It is popular in New Jersey because of its dense covering. However, it requires a lot of maintenance.
• Fine Fescue: If you want a low-maintenance turf, this variety is an excellent choice. It performs well in shade and dry infertile environments but is not the best option for high foot traffic. 
• Tall Fescue: Another variety that does not need a lot of upkeep, it is heat and drought-tolerant. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: A turf type that performs well in a variety of soil conditions, it requires a well-drained environment.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn?: We recommend mowing at a height of 2.5 to 3.5 inches; this is achievable by mowing weekly during the summer. In the fall when the grass enters dormancy, stop mowing.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Jersey City

LawnStarter protects your lawn against problems that disrupt a consistent and lush appearance. Common lawn pests and diseases our experts manage include:

• Sod Webworms: These pests feed on grass, turning your lawn brown.
• White Grubs: You may have these insects if you see dead patches or beetles. Animals digging in your lawn are another indication.
• Fungal Diseases: Humidity and snow-loving fungal infections cause discolored grass. Leaf spot, snow mold, and dollar spot are some of the most common invaders.
