Loveland, CO lawn care service at the click of a button

The Sweetheart City has a long-standing reputation for sending Valentine's cards with a Loveland postmark. And because of its proximity to the Big Thompson Canyons, Loveland is also referred to as “The Gateway to The Rockies.”

Unfortunately, a disease-ridden lawn can tie you down. Loveland’s warm, dry summers make great hiking weather, but its windy winters wreak havoc on your lawn. To keep up, lawn care needs to adapt to the seasons to give your turfgrass a fighting chance.

LawnStarter Pros will mow, trim, edge, aerate, fertilize, and apply targeted pest, disease, and weed control to fortify your lawn against Colorado-specific lawn problems.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Loveland:

Best Grass Types for Loveland

Loveland experiences a semi-arid climate, which means drought-tolerant, cool-season varieties withstand the hot summers and cold, dry winters. Some well-suited grass types include:

• Tall Fescue: It’s a tough cool-season variety that shows good heat and cold tolerance and handles a variety of soil conditions. 
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This cool-season variety develops a deep root system that makes it resilient to drought, cold, and heat stress. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: This is a quick-germinating cool-season cultivar that establishes a lush, fine-textured lawn and is commonly used for overseeding. 
• Sheep Fescue: It’s a densely tufted cool-season variety that offers excellent cold and drought resistance, making it perfect for Loveland.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow once every week or two during the spring and fall. In the warmer months, increase the frequency to once every seven to 10 days.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Loveland

Although the climate is not as humid as other parts of Colorado, Loveland attracts a variety of pests and diseases. The most common are:

• Chewing Insects: Sod webworms, armyworms, and chinch bugs feast on tender grass blades, creating yellow patches with irregular edges.
• Root Eaters: White grubs and billbugs are insect larvae that eat grass stems and roots, causing damage that looks like drought stress. 
• Fungal Diseases: Brown patch and dollar spot create small to large, round patches of bleached or brown turf.
